Let’s do some junior detective work around the Mets and the trade deadline.  David Stearns on Monday described the bullpen as his priority between now and July 31; understandable since within this season the Mets have lost four key contributors for the year — Max Kranick, Dedniel Núñez and lefties A.J. Minter and Danny Young.  For a second straight game, …

NEW YORK — Now with fewer than 10 days before the trade deadline, David Stearns and the Mets have provided some clarity about their potential direction. There are four main areas the Mets could address between now and July 31: the bullpen, the rotation, center field and third base. Stearns addressed all of those areas Monday. So let’s run through …

The Yankees have needs. The Mets have needs. Other playoff contenders do, too. It is that third sentence that makes the upcoming July 31 MLB trade deadline a murky proposition for those firmly identifying as buyers this year, because “other playoff contenders” could be more than 75 percent of the game based on the current standings. If the thinking in …

The Mets announced a series of roster moves today, including the previously-reported claimed of right-hander Rico Garcia off waivers from the Yankees. Righty Dedniel Núñez was transferred to the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man roster spot for Garcia. It was recently reported that Núñez will require Tommy John surgery. The Mets will need to open an active roster …

NEW YORK — Mets legend David Wright stood atop a gold-plated third base after being introduced to a sold-out Citi Field crowd on Saturday. There, he turned to every corner of the stadium, waving at all of the fans assembled to watch him be enshrined in the Mets’ Hall of Fame, his number retired alongside the legends who came before …

All was Wright for the Mets on Saturday, but that was before the game started. On the field, manager Carlos Mendoza’s bunch appeared stuck in the All-Star break by falling behind in the middle innings for a second straight day while barely showing any offensive clout. David Wright’s No. 5 got retired, and the Mets too often took the same …

The Mets celebrated the best third baseman in their history, just as they are revisiting the bad old days at the position. The No. 5 of the beloved David Wright was retired Saturday, but I am here to write that the Mets still haven’t gotten it right for a sustained period at third base since the last captain’s heyday. Famously, …

Jul 19, 2025, 06:06 PM ET NEW YORK — The New York Mets inducted David Wright into their hall of fame and retired his No. 5 on Saturday — nearly 21 years after his big league debut. “I went straight from the airport to the ballpark, and I couldn’t wait to see what number I was going to be,” Wright …

Free agent reliever David Robertson has been throwing for interested clubs recently, reports Will Sammon of The Athletic. Two of his former clubs, the Mets and Yankees, have at least looked into the possibility of signing Robertson, per the report. Several other clubs are expected to scout a throwing session for Robertson over the next week or so. Robertson, who …

It’s water under the bridge for the Mets.  Their first-round pick at No. 38 overall, Mitch Voit, was buzzworthy way before the draft for a viral celebration in March that involved pretending to snort the third base line chalk, mimicking snorting cocaine.  On Monday, Mets vice president of amateur scouting Kris Gross said they addressed the celebration with Voit in …
