Clobbered one a few days ago. Three to go!

Clobbered another one a couple days ago! Five to go!

How about Brett Baty 2023, too. I'm going with a lot of guys who had 70-something hits, man if I'm wrong my score is gonna be really bad.

Mazuo Katsui, 2004.

Jeff McNugget, 2018.

Might be pushing it, but Omir Santos, '09?

Might be pushing it, but Agbayani '99?

I'm the same way. If a team is like the Mets are now, give the career minor leaguers their shot at glory.

Sure, sure, he's not a Met anymore, but Pete Alonso will always be a Met in our hearts. And he's only 4 home runs away from 300! Lindor and Alonso, both within striking distance of 300 home runs. That's, like, synchronicity or something. Anyway, let's see if he can get to the magic number by the end of the year. His last home run before this post was started came on August 26.

Dylan Ross, who was on the Mets active roster at the tail end of the 2025 season but never got into a game, has finally made his big league debut. He was a phantom major leaguer for about a year, but can now wipe phantom off the title. In his first appearance, he tossed a perfect inning in relief. He wasn't great at Triple-A this year, posting a 6.94 ERA and 1.872 WHIP, but with the Mets being as bad as they are, the powers that be were probably like what do we have to lose? Congrats Dylan! https://sny.tv/articles/mets-relief-prospect-dylan-ross-enjoys-scoreless-debut-on-birthday-following-sept-call-up https://www.mlb.com/mets/video/dylan-ross-scoreless-inning-in-mlb-debut

Clobbered one yesterday! Six to go!

Seems predatory.

Francisco Lindor currently has 293 career home runs. Can he hammer seven more by the end of the year to reach 300 for his career? Let's see!

Sam Biller, released in February, re-signed, then released in August, later signed with the independent Chicago Dogs. Jamdrick Cornelia, released by the Mets in February, later signed with the independent Ottawa Titans. Julian Hernandez, released by the Mets in February, later signed with the Mahoning Valley Scrappers of the MLB Draft League. Dalton Mall, released by the Mets in February, later signed with the independent Lancaster Stormers. Leandy Mella, released by the Mets in February, later signed with the Tigers organization. Rayner Reyes, released by the Mets in February, later signed with the Cardinals organization.

I have been tracking Mets batters with .250 averages or better throughout 2026 and the number has slipped to just five: Juan Soto - .282 Carson Benge - .277 Jared Young - .269 Bo Bichette - .263 Austin Slater - .250 ... no longer with team

Bruin Agbayani: Injury: Shoulder. Est. Return 9/8/2026. Edit: Just as I post this, I see the St. Lucie Mets have activated him. Randy Guzman: Back on injured list at High-A. High-A Brooklyn placed Guzman on the 7-day injured list Aug. 6 due to an unspecified injury. Guzman is on the shelf for the second time this season after a quadriceps strain previously cost him about six weeks of action while he was with Single-A St. Lucie earlier this summer. After earning a promotion to Brooklyn on July 28, Guzman slashed .393/.438/.536 with a home run over his first seven games at High-A before being shut down. Injury: Undisclosed. Est. Return 9/1/2026. Justin Hagenman: Will be activated to start Wednesday. The Mets are planning to activate Hagenman (rib) from the 60-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Rays at Tropicana Field, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. Hagenman won't be guaranteed any additional starts beyond Wednesday, as Puma notes that the Mets may be inserting the righty into the rotation this week simply as a means to build in a couple extra days of rest for Christian Scott and their other four starters. The 29-year-old has been on the shelf all season after fracturing a rib in a March 5 Grapefruit League game, with his slow recovery from the injury preventing him from beginning a rehab assignment until Aug. 18. He's pitched effectively across three starts in the minors (one with Single-A St. Lucie, two with Triple-A Syracuse), producing a 2.89 ERA and 1.07 WHIP across 9.1 innings. Hagenman tossed 64 pitches in his final rehab outing Friday, so he'll likely be operating with a restricted workload in his 2026 Mets debut. Injury: Ribs. Est. Return 9/2/2026. Cole Mathis: Back on shelf at High-A. High-A Brooklyn placed Mathis on its 7-day injured list due to an unspecified injury. Mathis will head to the IL for the second time this season, though it's unclear if his latest setback on the health front is related to the injury that kept him out for about seven weeks earlier this summer. The 23-year-old corner infielder -- whom the Mets acquired in the June 25 deal that sent left-hander David Peterson to the Cubs -- debuted for his new organization on July 23 before being reinstated from Brooklyn's injured list Aug. 4. He appeared in just three games for Brooklyn -- going 1-for-11 with a double and 3:5 BB:K -- prior to landing back on the IL a week later. Injury: Undisclosed. Est. Return 9/1/2026. Jorge Polanco: Moved to 60-day IL. The Mets transferred Polanco (ankle) to the 60-day injured list Friday. The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Chris Devenski. Polanco had previously been ruled out for the season when it was decided earlier this month that he'd have surgery on his left ankle. Injury: Ankle. Est. Return 2/1/2027. Devin Williams: Resumes throwing. Williams (shoulder) began playing catch Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. It's the first time Williams has done any sort of throwing since he landed on the injured list Aug. 10 with a strained right shoulder. He still has several more hurdles to clear before he can return from the injured list, but the Mets expect the 31-year-old closer to return to the bullpen sometime in September. Until then, Kodai Senga figures to continue receiving the bulk of the save opportunities. Injury: Shoulder. Est. Return 9/11/2026. Syracuse Mets activated RHP Jack Wenninger from the 7-day injured list. Syracuse Mets placed SS Vidal Bruján on the 7-day injured list.

Jon Berti has retired.

He's hit .290/.318/.448 with 6 home runs and 26 RBI in 49 minor league games this year. In the majors, he's hit .087/.115/.087 in 23 at-bats.

Transactions going back a while: Mark Vientos sent on rehab to Binghamton, then Syracuse, then activated. Xzavion Curry recalled then optioned. Juan Soto activated. Eric Wagaman recalled then optioned. Luis Robert Jr. put on waivers then claimed by Orioles. Justin Hagenman sent on rehab to St. Lucie, then to Binghamton, then to Syracuse. Jorge Polanco put on 10-day IL, then moved to 60-day IL. Chris Devenski signed then selected from Syracuse. Chayce McDermott optioned, then recalled, then optioned. Gabriel Arias DFA'd, then claimed off waivers by Cubs. Jack Weisenburger optioned to Syracuse. Austin Warren activated.

He's got a 43 OPS+ right now for the Mets and a 23 OPS+ on the season. Let's not prognosticate this or that right now. Let's just let him be -- a brief roster filler for the time being.

Well, this thread technically wasn't wrong.

I remember he was underwhelming from start to finish. He had a certain flair about him like Starling Marte, however. We gave up top prospect Luisangel Acuna for him and his .223/.303/.399 line and 10 home runs in 193 at-bats. Which actually is a pretty solid HR rate, at least. Surprised they put him on waivers, actually.

Yes. It's common elsewhere. The ability to search within a specific thread.

Garcia's doing well in the minors. Better call him.
