Francisco Lindor is the unofficial captain and fire-starter of the New York Mets, and he fully embodied both roles in Tuesday night’s 7-6 comeback victory over the home-team Baltimore Orioles.

Juan Soto was supposed to be the center of attention on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball, not just for his high-profile return to Yankee Stadium, but also for his planned in-game interview.

There was much uncertainty if Pete Alonso would re-sign with the New York Mets. It also caught outfielder Brandon Nimmo’s attention as well.

When the 2024 MLB All-Star Game rosters were announced, first baseman Pete Alonso was the only player representing the New York Mets.

But for now, New York […]

The New York Mets are in that gray area between trade deadline buyers and sellers, but leftfielder Brandon Nimmo thinks the team should look to add. He’s made sure to let Mets owner Steve Cohen know about it. “Any chance that I get, I kind of throw that in there,” Nimmo said in an interview […]

The left field position in the MLB is at a fascinating crossroads, which makes it very tough to sort through for our MLB rankings lists.
