PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- While his team was playing an exhibition against Team Israel at Clover Park on Wednesday, Nolan McLean took the mound in a Minor League scrimmage on a back field at the Mets’ complex. The numbers -- one run allowed over four innings -- were irrelevant.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – Nolan McLean was among the Spring Breakout alumni to make an impact in the Majors last season. Which Mets prospects could be the next ones to forge a similar path? For the third straight year, the Mets will send many of their top prospects to

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Carson Benge has been impressive this spring as he competes for the Mets’ right-field job, producing another highlight on Wednesday. The 23-year-old hit his first home run of the spring in the Mets’ 5-2 win over Team Israel, though the homer won’t count toward his

They are the Mets' top two prospects. They are former two-way college teammates and roommates at Oklahoma State who were drafted by New York a year apart and have very similarly colored locks. This year, they could be sharing the field together in the big leagues. Carson Benge and Nolan

Nolan McLean might already be a household name around Queens. He was the Mets’ de facto ace down the stretch last year. Until the club acquired Freddy Peralta, it looked like he might lead the New York rotation again to begin 2026. He’s the only rookie on Team USA’s World

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Carson Benge has a novel view on swinging and missing. “I hate striking out,” Benge said after collecting three hits in the Mets’ 6-0 loss to the Cardinals on Wednesday, all on two-strike pitches. “That’s one thing about me. So being able to fight for

The Mets have had young pitching stars before, have they ever, all the way back to the great Tom Seaver. He was a phenom who stayed a star until he won his 300th game -- with the White Sox by then -- when he was 40. Now another young guy,

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Although Carson Benge knew it would happen, he still couldn’t quite prepare himself for his first brush with Juan Soto. “When I saw Soto,” Benge said of the moment, “I was like, ‘Holy s---.’”

Earlier this week, Mets beat writer Anthony DiComo outlined the team’s bullpen situation, sans Edwin Diaz, heading into Spring Training. There are a few names in the mix that might be less recognizable than some others, given all the young pitchers who have a chance to emerge from the Mets'

The Mets were poised to claim six Top 100 prospects ahead of our reveal last Friday until the organization traded infielder/outfielder Jett Williams (No. 51) and right-handed pitcher Brandon Sproat (No. 100) to the Brewers in the Freddy Peralta/Tobias Myers deal. That’s just part of the business when you’re trying

NEW YORK -- The Mets’ improving farm system, a source of pride in recent years as the team has fast-tracked top prospects to the big leagues, just landed them Freddy Peralta in a blockbuster trade with the Brewers. It’s a telling sign of the times, then, that the Mets could

It didn’t take long for the Mets to turn around the public perception of their offseason, signing Bo Bichette before trading for Luis Robert Jr. to address two significant holes in their lineup. But the next move -- and some would say the most important one -- came Wednesday night,

After an offseason of significant upheaval as far as their big league roster is concerned, the Mets struck a familiar tune Thursday, landing Dominican shortstop Wandy Asigen, MLB Pipeline's No. 2 prospect in the international class. Additionally, the club agreed to terms with outfielder Cleiner Ramirez (No. 23), a 5-foot-9

From bat-to-ball ability to speed, arm strength and defensive feel, the Mets' farm system features prospects flashing loud tools that should give them a chance to impact games at the highest level. Here’s a look at the Mets prospects with the best individual tools in the system:

The Mets’ season didn’t go how anyone in the organization would have hoped, with the reigning National League runners-up missing the postseason entirely in 2025. The recent departures of previous franchise stalwarts Pete Alonso, Edwin Díaz and Brandon Nimmo haven’t helped matters with the fanbase either, though the offseason is

The Mets had a chance. It was 0.67 percent of a chance, but it was a chance. New York went into the Winter Meetings as one of 15 teams with an opportunity to win the 2026 No. 1 overall pick in the Draft Lottery. Instead, the organization moved to what

The Winter Meetings begin Monday in Orlando, Fla., and prospects are certain to be on the shopping list for some clubs. Which team will get the best holiday-season deal? Who has the prospect capital to make that kind of deal happen?
