The San Francisco Giants and New York Mets were originally scheduled to open their series on Monday, but that game was postponed due to rain. The Giants will instead be looking to extend their five-game winning streak on Tuesday afternoon before these teams meet again later in the day. New York is in excellent form to open the season as well,…

The New York Mets may have lost out on free agent superstar Carlos Correa, but they remain legitimate World Series contenders in 2023. However, the Mets no longer can be considered favorites to win a championship next season. Just three weeks ago, Mets owner Steve Cohen said as much. Breaking the news that New York had reached a 12-year, $315…

After an All-Star break festooned with nostalgia, home runs, and bullpen dominance, the MLB schedule restarts Thursday, with some 70 games remaining for each team. So before the second half begins, let's dive into the top 10 story lines to monitor between now and October-because there's a whole lot of baseball left, and just as much drama on the…

New York Mets owner Steve Cohen followed through on his promise to spend whatever it takes to build this team into a contender. The largest payroll in MLB history gives New York a chance to be the best team in MLB, but there is always room for improvement. The NL East is the best division in baseball. It's going to be a three-team slugfest in 2023…

What was the Evil Empire before Darth Vader? Sure, they were lurking in the shadows with Senator Palpatine pulling all of the strings. But it was not until he turned Anakin Skywalker to the Dark Side that Palpatine was able to show his true nature to take over the galaxy and rule it with an iron fist. This is exactly what we just saw play out in…

In one of the most stunning turn of events in the history of MLB free agency, All-Star shortstop Carlos Correa has walked away from a 13-year, $350 million deal with the San Francisco Giants - the contract was never signed because of a concern during Correa's physical - and has signed with the New York Mets for 12 years and $315 million. New York…

Carlos Correa was a San Francisco Giant in the same manner that Alex Rodriguez once was a Boston Red Sox, in handshake form only, one industry-rattling deal collapsing only to give way to another, and a superteam resulting because of it. Two decades after the game's preeminent superstar shortstop saw his transfer to Boston nixed, it happened again,…

After six months of fighting their way into the postseason, the Tampa Bay Rays and Oakland Athletics will square off in the American League Wild Card Game to keep their hopes of winning a championship alive. The Rays earned their first postseason berth since 2013 thanks to a 96-66record. Thewin total is tied for the second-most in franchise history…

In the AL East, four teams have a decent shot of winning the division, and all of them are good. In the NL East, four teams have a decent shot of winning the division, and maybe one of them is good. The Mets look good on paper, but they're, you know, the Mets (more on that later). If the AL East is a battle royale against the titans of the league,…

The one good thing that can be said of the A's as they go into yet another rebuild is that top baseball men Billy Beane and David Forst have walked this path before. They know the pitfalls, and they know that teams don't take a straight line back to the top. Rather, they get better or worse by fits and starts. The A's enter 2022 without popular and…

At the beginning of the season, talk around baseball concerning the best starting rotations in the big leagues likely won't focus on the A's. But the talk should trend westward because the A's have the arms, all healthy for once, to orchestrate Oakland's third consecutive postseason appearance. The A's, winners of 97 games each of the last two…

After a season that could have been special, the Oakland A's will be hard-pressed to post the second-best record in the American League once again in 2021. The A's are still in position to contend, even with two of their main guys, shortstop Marcus Semien and closer Liam Hendriks, elsewhere after a disappointing team stumble in the ALDS against the…

MLB free agency officially started the day after the World Series was over, but now it's really started.

A crucial offseason is ahead for both the Mets and Yankees, and now we get to see what they'll actually…

With the Super Bowl now in the rearview mirror and March Madness still weeks away, this would normally be the time of year when talk of the upcoming MLB season starts to heat up.

Free agency is officially underway, and with it comes endless speculation about who is going to sign where. What will the New York Mets look like the next time they take the field? Sure, most of the predictions end up being completely wrong, but it's a fun exercise nonetheless. Batting first, second baseman Trea Turner Starting off hot, I know, but…

The New York Mets were an embarrassment last year. Billionaire hedge fund manager Steven Cohen spent almost $200 million in payroll to finish 77-85, players fought with fans on social media -- and through the actual media -- and Cohen had his say publicly as well. GM Jared Porter was hired and then fired about a month later for inappropriate…

The Astros are -129 favorites giving them an implied win probability of 56.33%. Both teams are high in the World Series odds as Houston is the third choice at+650 and New York the fourth choice at+700 after the co-favored Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees at+450. The Minute Maid Park roof will likely be closed as the high temperature is…

The Mets have been one of the best teams in baseball in 2022. The Cardinals, certainly by their standard, have struggled. But if you're looking for one area where St. Louis can impose its will, it's in this pitching matchup. St. Louis' starter Miles Mokalis has looked like an All-Star this year, and he enters the game after six straight stellar…

The Oakland Athletics' contingent at the Arizona Fall League includes prospects getting an opportunity to impress - six of their eight players there are ranked in the system's top 20 by MLB Pipeline - and a chance for several to make up innings and at-bats lost to ailments during the season. At the forefront of that group are infielder Zack Gelof,…

At every turn, the Billy Eppler Mets have prioritized a long-term vision over the immediate future. They have wanted their title window cracked open for a sustained, long period, which led to Eppler refusing to jeopardize that goal by trying to pry this season's window wide open. So none of the Mets' top 19 prospects, Eppler said, were traded at…

The Mets' playoff picture took a downward turn on Tuesday night as the Braves clinched the NL East and sent New York to the Wild Card round. Mets' world series odds also took a hit, with the Braves now ahead of them across sportsbooks. But don't worry New York fans, we didn't go down without a fight. The Mets (101-61) finished the regular season…

The Mets will be disappointed to even be in this spot in the first place after leading the NL East for most of the year until the defending World Series champion Atlanta Braves got hot and surpassed them. Nonetheless, there is certainly a buzz around Flushing as New York returns to the postseason for the first time since 2016. Buck Showalter's…

The Mets made a number of win-now moves last winter in advance of the 2022 MLB regular season.

But one huge acquisition New York made didn't happen until March. That'd be a…

The Oakland A's finished under.500 every year from 1993 to 1998. Leading into the final year of that stretch, Billy Beane was promoted to become the team's general manager and they had a winning season in 1999. They didn't have another losing season until 2007 and from that year through 2011, their best season was an 81-81 finish. Then they had…
