Thu, 30 Nov 2023 05:00:00 -0000

Emergency pod!!! Per Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, the Mets and 29-year-old right-hander Luis Severino have agreed to terms on a one-year free agent contract. Jeff Passan of ESPN reports that the deal is for $13 million over one season.

The former Yankees standout has dealt with some tough times since his 2017-2018 peak (3.18 ERA, 10.53 K/9, 2.27 BB/9, 0.94 HR/9 over 63 starts), but a decent 2022, a low-risk financial commitment for 2024, and a very unique change of scenery all lends credence to the Mets' hope that Severino can rebound after an atrocious 2023 (6.65 ERA, 2.32 HR/9 over 89.1 IP).

Fri, 02 Jul 2021 07:00:00 -0000

Not an ideal week, friends. The Mets still can't find much consistency, whether at the plate or just with respect to winning games. The division is tightening up by the day. Injuries continue to mount. Onward and upward, because this isn't gonna cut it.

Fri, 25 Jun 2021 04:00:00 -0000

After an absolutely putrid couple of weeks at the plate, the Mets' bats finally came alive on Wednesday night to split a home series with Atlanta. The fact that the offensive outburst coincided with the return of Michael Conforto is notable. Even more so is that, even in the face of more injuries, this team just keeps plugging away. It may also be time to discuss making a trade...

Despite leaving 62 runners on base over their seven-game road trip between Philadelphia and St. Louis, the Mets finished the stretch 4-3, sending them back to Queens at .500 and within arm's reach of first place in the National League East. Sure, their ineffectiveness may have cost Chili Davis and Tom Slater their jobs, but that's baseball, baby. Taijuan Walker's looked dominant (as has the rest of the Mets' rotation) the bullpen (most notably Trevor May and Jeurys Familia) has been a godsend, and the offense slowly but surely is beginning to click. Onward and upward.
