  1. Ibanez is just more of that genius David Stearns 9-D chess that hasn't worked yet, but maybe one day it will.
  2. Trade more of our stars and established veterans for young prospects that never work out again. Scherzer got us the great Luisangel Acuna. Verlander got us the legendary Drew Gilbert, neither of whom are currently with the Mets anymore. Verlander also got us Ryan Clifford, who's currently hitting .220 at Triple-A. Eduardo Escobar got us Coleman Crow (no longer in the Mets system) and Landon Marceaux (no longer in pro ball). David Robertson got us two youngsters hitting ,188 and .212, respectively. Mark Canha got us Justin Jarvis (no longer in pro ball). Tommy Pham got us Jeremy Rodriguez (.202 last year, hurt currently). Dominic Leone got us Jeremiah Jackson (who the Mets quickly ditched). It's a winning formula, and the Mets know winning formulas! Trust them, just two years from now they'll have it. It's always two years from now or some time in the future. Just wait. Just keep waiting.
  3. Wow. He sucks, too. You're killing it Stearns! Keep it up!
  4. Remember when Cohen took over and there seemed to be a fairly urgent "win now" attitude? We got Scherzer, Verlander, etc. What happened to that? Mendoza is not a winner. He doesn't seem like he has any fire or passion. And the team is mirroring that to a 't'.
  5. I wish it was 2024 again :-(
  6. With Bichette, it's not even May yet. Since his nadir of .071 on March 29, he's hitting .260. He'll get there.
  7. Carlos Cortes, who languished in the Mets system from 2018 to 2024, is hitting .387/.457/.694 with 4 home runs and 13 RBI in 23 games for the A's this year. Last year, he hit .309/.323/.543 in 94 ABs with the club.
  8. Mets sign minor leaguers Jamari Baylor and TT Bowens.
  9. Oh yeah I forgot about that project. I'll probably still run it here, but no more removal elections, Just regular elections, We'll do one or two at the end of the season.
  10. Oh I meant what I said. He has the potential to be one of the Mets of all-time.
  11. He hasn't historically been a bad pitcher so of all the moves Stearns is wont to make in regards to the bullpen this one actually looks good. And Edwards' first game with the Mets went swimmingly.
  12. Mets sign Eric Wagaman, who has the potential to be one of the Mets of all-time. He's not bad, but such a non-entity that I can't imagine him doing anything particularly meaningful with the club. No real outstanding skills or anything. But hey, he's played a full MLB season as a starter, so that must mean something. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/w/wagamer01.shtml
  13. Not tearing it up yet at Triple-A. He has a .223 average in 26 games for the Nashville Sounds. His career line at that level is .228/.329/.394. Then again, he's only 22.
  14. Luis Isaac died. https://www.cleveland.com/guardians/2026/04/guardians-announce-former-longtime-bullpen-coach-has-passed-away-at-79.html Who was Luis Isaac? Luis Isaac was a Puerto Rican catcher who spent nearly two decades in the minor leagues before transitioning into a long career as a coach, manager, and scout, primarily within the Cleveland Indians organization. Best known for his 44-year tenure with the club, he served multiple stints as bullpen coach and remained a steady presence in player development until his dismissal in 2008, leaving behind a legacy as a deeply embedded and respected baseball lifer.
  15. I'm still very surprised no one has taken a flyer on Matt Allan yet.
  16. Mendoza is what one might describe as "milquetoast."
  17. The problem is he's not as smart as he thinks he is. He thinks he knows more than the system and has some magic eye that allows him to see eventual success that is never there to begin with.
  18. Tyler Rogers has a 0.68 ERA in 13 relief appearances so far. Gregory Soto has a 1.98 mark in 14 games, while averaging 13,2 K/9. Rico Garcia has a 0.75 ERA and 0.417 WHIP in 12 games.
  19. Jonah Conradt, released in November, was signed by the Nationals in March. Luis De Los Santos, granted free agency in November, signed with the Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos in Mexico about a week ago. Sam Biller, released in February, was re-signed in March. Aaron Rozek, released in March, was signed by the Twins in April.
  20. 🚨 BREAKING: The Mets are losing again.
  21. Luis Garcia, the Mets famed relief pitcher, is off to the Minnesota Twins. I remember thinking, of all the patience they have shown even more mediocre pitchers in the past, they were REALLY, REALLY quick to ditch him. I mean, how long did they give Jake Diekman? I also remember thinking he was a decent signing.
  22. Joey Gerber has been sent to the minors for a rehab stint.
  23. Francisco Lindor: Lindor (calf) will wear a boot for the next week and remain shut down for at least three weeks, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. After the three weeks are up, Lindor will have more imaging on his left calf to check his progress. He could resume baseball activities at that point if the Mets are satisfied with the MRI, but Lindor would be ramped back up slowly. It all points to a lengthy absence for the star shortstop, but more will be known about a timeline by mid-May. Ronny Mauricio is filling in at shortstop for the Mets in Lindor's stead. Injury Calf. Est. Return 6/1/2026.
