It’s the most, wonderful time, of the year. Baseball Season is among us and all of the big name free agents have landed with their new teams. Here’s a close look at 3 main storylines to watch out for this season as the Mets look to tackle huge expectations and star studded franchises also looking to fill huge promises to their fans. 1. Jacob DeGrom returns to action, although announcing he will opt out after 2022. That being said, DeGrom, a two- time CY Young award recipient and the Ace of the staff, flanked by Max Scherzer and Chris Bassett, (see storyline 3) looks to prove to fans his injuri ..read more

By Mikayla Rizzo The MLB players association and the Owners could not come to a mutual agreement, therefore canceling the 2022 MLB season. Here’s why it hits newly signed Max Scherzer the hardest of all MLB players. Scherzer coming from a stacked and solid Dodgers team felt too good to be true to most New York Mets fans when the paper hit the pen, inking the 38 year old ace to a rather large (and dare I say, perhaps, too much, of a chunk of money. It is not uncommon for stars to demand the big bucks, for all its worth, Scherzer seems to just get better as the years go by. Naturally, the Mets ..read more

The New York Mets have gone through a lot of worry and speculation when it came to Ace Starting Pitcher Jacob DeGrom and his health. 2021 meant a cause of concern and some notable absences for the former 2x CY Young Award winner. What’s great about all this delay in an agreement between the two parties that’s preventing baseball operations from resuming? Jacob DeGrom gets more time to recuperate and rest, when needed. DeGrom was being pushed back to playing when not needed to save what was an already lost 2021 for host New York. It caused some notable strain and prevented DeGrom from fully rec ..read more

The New York Mets gave Catcher James McCann a mega deal last off-season; yet, there’s a highly touted No. 2 overall prospect waiting ETA 2023 to replace him. Fransisco Alvarez might just be the guy, the franchise backstop with the tools needed to provide quality play for years to come. He’s Grade A on offense and his defense is sharp, while it’s safe to say McCann was just a rental. McCann was supposed to be the solid backstop bridge until Alvarez reaches the majors. However a disappointing 2021 led fans to grow irate with the 31 year old former Chicago White Sox catcher, it’s important to rea ..read more

J.T. Ginn, newly drafted, is expected to arrive in the major leagues in 2023. Here is why it’s a little bit of a gamble yet at the same time a risk worth taking to have Ginn on the team. Ginn is a former Mississippi HS hurler with a 3.03 ERA in the minors, although he’s already had to have Tommy John Surgery, which unfortunately is a situation nobody wishes on anyone, especially a highly touted starting pitching prospect such as Ginn. Ginn started all 18 games, owned a 5-5 record, and with that 3.03 ERA, Ginn looks to have a solid 2022. Why I feel it’s a risk was only because of the surgery he ..read more

The 2022 New York Mets look to accomplish something they did not for quite some time; making the playoffs. Here’s why Max Scherzer is among key Mets needed to step up. He’s been offered a huge contract. Time will tell how Scherzer does, after all, he’s 38 years old. Some players do not age with grace. Scherzer is still capable of winning some games so he looks to be a strong part of the rotation until the rebuild is completed. Noah Syndergaard and Marcus Stroman left New York. One saying my mother used to say, in regards to everything, was, “if something is lost, it must be replaced.” This app ..read more

Having let Javier Baez slip away this off-season, it’s surely a priority, the Third Base position. Here’s why the New York Mets have to sign Kris Bryant to fill that void. 1. The numbers show Bryant has what it takes to win. While Bryant may have declined in RBI’s, (22) he made up for it in home runs, (25) along with a .265 batting average and a 3.3 WAR. While these numbers may not seem overly impressive, Bryant is a solid defensive player, and he can also play the outfield along with third base. 2. The Mets have not had a franchise third baseman since David Wright. It’s vital that along with ..read more

Everyone knows that with great power and paychecks comes great responsibility, right? Here’s a few New York Mets that must get the job done or risk everything fans can unleash. 1. Fransisco Lindor Lindor had a highly disappointing and overall slow start to 2021, and fans grew impatient from the moment he started to discuss it with the media. While making some comments along the lines of, “it’s frustrating.” the frustration began to turn to panic for the New York fans who thought and believed Lindor would surely turn the franchise into a contender. Now, all excuses are already said, and 2022 is ..read more

The New York Mets have seen too many disappointing seasons finish before their eyes; here’s why the team really needs to reach the playoffs in 2022. 1. New ownership results in higher expectations It’s a now or never scenario for the Mets, and for Steve Cohen, who inherited quite a mess from Fred and Jeff Wilpon. What can be said of Cohen is, he’s not afraid to throw big bucks around in free agency, he’s made some splashes, with notable signing being Ace Max Scherzer. While Javier Baez was likely asking for more than the Mets were willing to offer, the team made several other moves that turned ..read more

Take note, loyal readers, I’ve been informed by a valid source that the two sides are expected to meet for the first time following the lockout. While this is a developing story, and nothing has been set in stone yet, the two sides hopefully can come to a mutual agreement. While baseball operations have been pushed aside for the most part, credentialed writers and bloggers such as myself look to provide the latest Mets updates, and we will notify you as soon as we get more information on the following matter ..read more
