Mets call up pitching prospect with nasty strikeout numbers to help the bullpen
Ty Adcock took one for the team on Friday and was rewarded with a trip back to Syracuse. He’ll be replaced on the New York Mets roster by Eric Orze, a 26-year-old righty with some nasty strikeout numbers. In 38.1 innings for Syracuse, Orze pitched to a 3.76 ERA....
Mets should swing trades for relievers to make playoffs a reality
The Mets should be buyers. Here comes the proviso: They actually have a little more time to make the final decision, and if they are in the midst of yet another downturn, then their play and the standings will scream about the proper course to follow. If you need a refresher on how volatile the NL wild-card picture is: The Mets had a 7.9 percent playoff chance through June 2 (Fangraphs), a 46.9 percent through July 2, and a three-game losing streak heading into Saturday dropped it to 29.3. That is how real-time sensitive the races are. Thus, what kind of information the...
Pete Alonso’s Home Run Derby status dependent on All-Star shakeout
PITTSBURGH — Pete Alonso is waiting to find out his status for the All-Star Game before considering whether he will participate in the Home Run Derby. The Mets first baseman said Friday that he is taking the same approach as last season, when he waited until the All-Star roster announcement before committing to his fourth straight Home Run Derby. Alonso won the event in 2019 and ’21. Last year he was eliminated in the first round. “If I’m selected to the All-Star team, then I am definitely open to doing it,” Alonso said, referring to the Home Run Derby. “It’s a super fun...
‘OMG’ Mets latest team in long line to adopt a catchy, fan-favorite tune
It’s one of those ear-worm songs, so even if it wasn’t something you were going to hear at the ballpark all summer, it would find a way to bore into your head and stay there awhile. But, of course, “OMG” isn’t just a catchy song that the Mets have adopted. It’s a catchy song that also happens to be sung by a player on the team — a player who, not for nothing, was hitting .346 entering the weekend. So maybe that gives “OMG” a unique leg up on some of the other songs that have been become closely associated with sports...

In a latest attempt to bolster their struggling bullpen, the Mets have promoted right-hander Eric Orze from Triple-A Syracuse.

1 player the Mets should trade for according to ESPN writer
ESPN Senior Writer David Schoenfield put together a list of one player every team should trade for or away. Who would the selection be for the New York Mets?. The Mets haven’t been playing as well after a hot June, but remain a buyer in the eyes of most. Things could change, but Schoenfield has them as “adders” for now.
Mets Bullpen Allows Seven Runs in Loss to Pirates
The pitching performance wasn’t great from the Mets in their series opener in Pittsburgh. It started with Luis Severino, who was credited with seven earned runs and exited the game in the seventh inning with the bases loaded. The bullpen followed with a lackluster performance, and was the nail-in-the-coffin for the Mets as the bullpen gave up a combined seven earned runs on seven hits and four home runs.
Struggling Mets pitcher has a vesting option for 2025 to avoid at all costs
Paying a player $4 million is nothing to Steve Cohen. Paying a player like Jake Diekman $4 million becomes outrageous no matter how much money the owner of the New York Mets has. With the year he’s having, the 2025 vesting option for another $4 million needs to be avoided at all costs.
Eric Orze Selected from Triple-A Syracuse; Ty Adcock Optioned
In an attempt to right the ship, the New York Mets have announced the following moves to the bullpen. Right-handed pitcher Ty Adcock has been optioned to Triple-A Syracuse and right-handed pitcher Eric Orze has been selected from Syracuse. After last night’s blowout loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates, it was evident that changes had to be made to the bullpen. Adcock came in to relieve Jake Diekman and proceeded to give up three home runs in the 8th inning to add insult to injury.
Morning Briefing: Edwin Díaz Returns From Suspension Today
Edwin Díaz officially returns from his 10-game suspension on Saturday. It’s amazing news for Mets fans, who have seen some brutal performances from the team’s bullpen during his absence. Díaz won’t solve all the bullpen’s problems, but the impact of getting that extra man back and having an actual closer can’t be overstated. The Mets went 5-5 during Díaz’s absence but certainly could have and should have won more.
