With Tom Hanks in the house, Mr. Met turns into Wilson, bloody handprint and all
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
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

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

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
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

NEW YORK -- A.J. Ewing’s presence on Tuesday added one potentially premium bat to the Mets’ lineup. Which is important, because three missing veterans could remain out for some time.
