#Mark Vientos

Now that the 2022 season is over for the New York Mets, we have been looking back at the year that was. After taking a more general view of the offense, pitching, and coaching staff, it's time to take a deeper dive into the Mets' players. This series will take a look at every player on the roster for the Mets at the end of the season from A (Pete…

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…

It's time for the second (we hope) annual Unofficial Futures Game Batting Practice Home Run Derby Draft (UFGBPHRDD?)!

Maybe someday the Futures…

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 Major League Baseball playoffs start on Friday. Here's how I see each postseason series playing out, including my World Series prediction. Tampa Bay Rays (No. 6 seed) vs. Cleveland Guardians (No. 3 seed): Winner: Guardians. Entering Wednesday, the Guardians are 25-6 in their last 31 games. They are clicking on all cylinders. Their starting…

The postseason is approaching fast, and the New York Mets have already punched their ticket. One thing to watch over the last two weeks of the regular season will be the players on the fringes of the roster competing for playoff spots. Buck Showalter and Billy Eppler will have some interesting choices to make. Here is my prediction on what the New…

Mike Vasil is a 22-year-old righty in the New York Mets system who will have a serious chance to raise his prospect stock further even when the regular season ends as he'll pitch in the Arizona Fall League. In his second professional season, Vasil has become a name fans are watching closely. Vasil had a successful stint with the St. Lucie Mets…

When will Starling Marte be back? The right fielder broke his right middle finger a week ago Tuesday after being hit by a pitch thrown by Pittsburgh Pirates' Mitch Keller. BUY METS TICKETS: STUBHUB, VIVID SEATS, TICKETSMARTER, TICKETMASTER Technically, Marte is eligible to come off of the injured list on Saturday, but he still might not be quite…
