Martinez to a one-year, $12 million contract on March 23, with spring training being almost over. They knew, when they got him, that he would need a few weeks to get himself in game shape since he was one of those Scott Boras clients who waited too long to sign. After a little bit more than a month, the designated hitter is finally ready to join the Mets’ active roster and make his season debut, via Talkin’ Baseball. The Mets are finally getting J.D.

(Photo by Rich Schultz/Getty Images)   The New York Mets have been inconsistent, but they are 13-11 and in third place of the NL East. They have been surprisingly competitive despite offseason (and 2023) personnel losses, injuries, and other circumstances. The pitching, which was expected to be a liability, has been surprisingly solid. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to have their ace back eventually. That distinction falls on Kodai Senga. He excelled last year as a rookie, with a 2.98 ERA and 202 strikeouts in 166.1 innings. During spring training, however, he complained of shoulder tightness an ..read more

(Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)   New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor is an accomplished star. He is a four-time All-Star, a three-time Silver Slugger award winner, and a two-time Gold Glover. He also signed a contract well above $300 million to be the face of the Mets for years to come. Still, he had a lousy start to his season, and some fans are still worried because he has a .652 OPS before Friday’s games. While those concerns might be justified given the nature of his start, the truth is Lindor is already starting to swing a hot bat. He hit two home runs on Wednesday, in his mo ..read more

(Photo by Rob Tringali/Getty Images)   MLB teams have revealed their City Connect uniforms, in an effort to showcase elements, colors, and lines related to the city in which they play in. It’s an attempt to make the existing bonds with their fans even stronger, most squads have released their unis with impressive success. In recent hours, the New York Mets released theirs. “The Mets City Connect uniforms are HERE! Honoring everything that makes NYC the World’s City. If you know NY, you know,” the league tweeted. The uniform has a dark gray color with black stripes and the letters “NYC” on ..read more

(Photo by Adam Hunger/Getty Images)   There might not be a hotter team in MLB than the New York Mets. They have won their last four games, against teams that have fared well like the Kansas City Royals and the Pittsburgh Pirates. They are also winners of six of their last seven and 10 of their last 13. That’s why seasons are so long and patience is always required: the Mets had started off the 2024 campaign with five straight losses, and the most impatient fans were already panicking. But the Mets have worked hard to put a competitive roster on the field despite injuries and recent trades ..read more

(Photo by Adam Hunger/Getty Images)   When the New York Mets lost five consecutive games to open the 2024 MLB season, panic started taking over one of the most loyal fan bases in baseball. After their mediocre 2023 campaign and with a new manager, it was okay to be scared about the future, especially after dropping the first five. But Carlos Mendoza didn’t panic, and neither did Steven Cohen, David Stearns, or the talented Mets roster. They knew that if they kept playing to the best of their abilities, wins would eventually come. And boy, did they come. After winning emphatically against ..read more

(Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)   The New York Mets will return home on Friday to start a three-game series against the red-hot Kansas City Royals. Against all odds, the Royals are second in the AL Central with a 9-4 record, led by the phenomenal Bobby Witt Jr. The Mets, however, are also playing some high-level baseball. After a sluggish start, they have won five of their last seven, including two out of three against the powerful Atlanta Braves. The Mets apparently found their stride and are finally playing competitive baseball after looking lost in their first two series. One of t ..read more

(Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)   Sunday will be a special day of baseball for the New York Mets. Not only they will be playing against a very tough foe, the Kansas City Royals, but they will be honoring a true franchise legend. Mets owner Steven Cohen recently revealed that the organization will be retiring Dwight Gooden’s No. 16 in a ceremony on Sunday. So far, the Mets have proudly retired No. 14 (Gil Hodges, 1973), No. 17 (Keith Hernandez, 2022), No. 24 (Willie Mays, 2022), No. 31 (Mike Piazza, 2016), No. 36 (Jerry Koosman, 2021), No. 37 (Casey Stengel, 1965), and No. 41 (Tom Seaver, 198 ..read more

(Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)   The New York Mets dropped their first five games of the 2024 season. However, their fortunes appear to be starting to turn around, as they have been victorious in three of the last four. Their 3-6 record still dictates that there is a lot of work to be done, but they finally seem to be playing consistent and competitive baseball. It was about time. On Sunday, they defeated the talented Cincinnati Reds, 3-1, to take the series, and their win can be largely attributed to the play of a struggling star: Francisco Lindor. Lindor went 2-for-5 with a double a ..read more

(Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)   New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor is in the middle of a rough slump as we speak. Before the start of Friday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds, the talented infielder is 1-for-24 on the young season. If you are wondering why the Mets have won just one game this year and lost five, well, take a look at the stats of players like Lindor, Brandon Nimmo, and Jeff McNeil. They are too talented to keep struggling forever, but right now, they are really having a bad time at the plate. The Mets, therefore, are trying anything they can think of to get him going ..read more
