Tom Hanks’ acting career has been filled with iconic moments, but few are more memorable than his desperate scream of “WILSONNNNN!” as his island companion floats away in the 2000 film "Cast Away." So when Hanks showed up at Citi Field for Saturday night’s Subway Series game against the Yankees,

117.6 mph homer! Mets prospect sizzles Single-A FSL's hardest-hit ball of '26

May 16, 2026

In Star Wars lingo, "jumping to hyperspace" means traveling through the cosmos at an incredibly high rate of speed. It's only fitting that Randy Guzman did his best to send a ball off his bat into another galaxy far, far away on Star Wars Night at Clover Park. The Mets'

Soto shrugs off aches and pains, joins Hall-caliber company with 250th HR

May 15, 2026

NEW YORK -- Juan Soto ticked off his list of ailments in a matter-of-fact manner: “The hand, calf, elbow, everything.” The start of the season has not been kind to Soto, who landed on the injured list back in April and hasn’t quite been 100% since. Soto did manage to

Mets phenom Ewing scoffs at power grade, goes 405 feet for 1st HR

May 14, 2026

NEW YORK -- Speed has always been a part of A.J. Ewing’s prospect profile. On-base acumen, absolutely. Power? Not so much. Yet Ewing, who hit just three home runs last season in the Minors, needed only three games to launch his first as a big leaguer. The recent callup took

Lindor (calf) seeing 'signs of healing,' but still not close to return

May 14, 2026

NEW YORK -- Don’t expect Francisco Lindor back in the Mets’ lineup anytime soon. Although an MRI taken Wednesday on Lindor’s left calf revealed “signs of healing,” according to manager Carlos Mendoza, Lindor still must strengthen his leg in the weight room before beginning a running progression. Only after that

Soto back in lineup at DH day after fouling ball off ankle

May 14, 2026

The Top 100 Prospects list has been updated, and there's a new No. 1

May 14, 2026

Pirates phenom Konnor Griffin graduated from prospect status by exceeding 130 Major League at-bats Wednesday, and if we’re going to get a new No. 1 overall prospect, we might as well make some tweaks to the full Top 100 Prospects list. Every so often during the baseball season, we do

Ewing puts up the kind of MLB debut not seen in at least 126 years

May 12, 2026

NEW YORK -- What stands out most on A.J. Ewing’s scouting report is the speed. MLB Pipeline, which rates Ewing as the No. 2 prospect in Flushing and No. 78 in baseball, gave his speed a 70 grade on the traditional 20-80 scouting scale. That translates to “plus-plus,” or some

Mets remain in holding pattern with ailing Lindor, Robert, Polanco
