The Mets made the first trade of the offseason, and possibly the last. First, (yes, the Mets made TWO trades) the Mets traded Cory Mazzoni for Alex Torres, known for his protective cap. Torres was not only decent against lefties, but better against righties. Sources say he is comparable to Tim Byrdak. Next, the Mets…

According to ESPN New York’s Adam Rubin, Daniel Murphy appeared in a minors game as a DH. He lined two base hits to left field, a good sign, but ran to first base lightly, as directed by his coaches. He ran on Friday, so I do not believe that running will be a problem. Sunday…

The Mets are nine days away from Opening Day. All of the players that won’t make the team have been re-assigned to minor league camp, and it finally looks like we have got our 25 man roster planned out. There is still plenty of un-cetanty in the Mets bullpen, but the position player roster seems…

Michael Cuddyer is not going to become the next Jason Bay / Curtis Granderson. Cuddyer has five home runs this Spring, he leads the Mets in that category, and is in the top five in hitters in that category across the league. Cuddyer was the only major signing that the Mets made this year, and…

Wilmer Flores! Flores hit a foul ball off his foot on Sunday’s not-so Subway Series game versus the New York Yankees. He spoke with a reporter for ESPN post-game, wearing a protective boot, and said “it hurts… a lot”. Flores subsequently went for MRI testing, where no major injury was detected. Flores is still wearing the…

By: Brian Mangan (edited 3/20, 3:30pm. Please note that this is not an attempt to explain all instances of Tommy John. Just an insight into the incredible pressure put on Zack Wheeler’s arm) Everyone has been all abuzz the last couple days since it was announced that Zack Wheeler has a torn UCL and needs…

Fans who say that the #1 Draft Pick is not always going to become Matt Harvey, Bradley Holt is your best friend. In 2008, the Mets were given the chance to draft three players in the first round.
