The Mets enter 2026 in a period of transition after saying goodbye to a significant portion of their veteran core. Amid that turnover, excitement is building around a new wave of young talent, with top prospects Nolan McLean, Carson Benge, Jett Williams, Jonah Tong and Brandon Sproat all expected to

The Mets’ offseason so far has been overshadowed by the departure of several fan favorites, either via free agency or trade. The club dealt outfielder Brandon Nimmo and infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil, but the biggest subtractions have been those of slugging first baseman Pete Alonso and elite closer Edwin Díaz, each

In Part I of the MLB Pipeline Executive Poll, we took a look at the industry’s picks for Rookie of the Year in each league. This next installment will dig deeper into what front offices think about top prospects. The survey, filled out by more than 40 execs across nearly

Welcome to the fourth annual MLB Pipeline Executive Poll. Starting before the 2023 season, we surveyed front offices across baseball -- from general managers to scouting directors, farm directors, analysts and beyond -- on a number of questions regarding prospects. As has been our tradition, we’re beginning with who they

NEW YORK -- As the guy who literally wrote the book on David Wright, the most pertinent question of my first Hall of Fame ballot was always going to be whether I would vote for him. It wasn’t an easy one to answer, requiring some real reflection. Wright’s case is

As we enter a new year and inch closer to the 2026 baseball season, there's much to be determined for many clubs as they head to Spring Training. While there has been plenty of offseason activity, many key free agents remain on the board, possible trade candidates haven't been moved

Jan. 7 is National Bobblehead Day, the greatest holiday of the year. Nod if you agree. Minor League Baseball teams are passionate proponents of the bobblehead, packing their promo calendars with spring-loaded giveaways. These bobbleheads celebrate local heroes, famous alumni and emerging stars, ranging from the poignant to the ridiculous.

This page will be updated throughout the offseason with all the latest Mets injury news and transactions.

The calendar has flipped over to 2026, and we already have year-end awards on our minds here at MLB Pipeline. In 2025, we picked two of the three American League Rookie of the Year finalists in the Athletics' Jacob Wilson and Roman Anthony of the Red Sox. And we singled

Francisco Alvarez is a key part of the Mets' plan to replace the production of Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo, casualties of the club's offseason roster overhaul. The expectation is that the 24-year-old Alvarez can build off the strides that he made late last season, following a month-long stint at

NEW YORK -- When Mike Piazza entered the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2016, he became the second player -- after Tom Seaver -- enshrined with a Mets cap on his plaque. Many other Hall of Famers have passed through Flushing on their way to Cooperstown, however, from Willie

The new year is for new starts, the unknown and the to-be-determined. No one can perfectly say what will happen in this 2026 calendar year, but we can certainly take a few highly educated guesses. In the land of Minor League Baseball, there may not be a more sought-after prediction

Oh look, the guy who didn’t pick Aaron Judge or Shohei Ohtani to win MVP honors in 2025 is back with more awards predictions. This ought to go well. Hey, I could have used this space one year ago to predict repeats in those races, as well as the AL

A brand new year means new possibilities for all 30 teams. Whether it's postseason success, individual awards, statistical records or player development, there's something every club can dream on heading into 2026. With the help of MLB.com's 30 beat writers, here's one key prediction for every team ahead of the

NEW YORK -- Back in September, as Carlos Beltrán stood on the field for the Mets’ Alumni Classic and heard a similar volume of cheers for Mike Piazza, José Reyes and other superstars, his perspective shifted. For two decades, Beltrán had yearned to experience unfettered appreciation from Mets fans. He

Part of what makes baseball the best are the feats and amazing stats accruing left and right, every single day. We chronicle them throughout the year, but there’s no better time than before the calendar flips to take a look back. It’s hard to pick just one per team, after

NEW YORK -- It can be easy to forget, in this era of major change around Flushing, that the Mets’ highest-paid pitcher is Sean Manaea. Last offseason, the Mets committed three years and $75 million to Manaea coming off a breakout season at age 32. They hoped his permanently dropped

After one of the great seasons in baseball history -- a season we’ll be talking about for the rest of our lives -- Major League Baseball has a tough act to follow in 2026. Fortunately, it has a deep cast of stars and compelling figures, all main characters in a

A new year brings new opportunities -- to build on the positives from last year, to improve on a disappointing season, or to finally reach expected potential. One or more of those could apply in 2026 for players on the verge of a breakout year. These are players who, for

With the Minor League season in the rearview mirror and a new year on the horizon, we took a look at how some of the top prospects performed in 2025.

Every season is another chance for MLB’s talented players to show us all that they can accomplish. Entering the year, it’s always fun to anticipate which career milestones might be reached or surpassed in the upcoming round of 162 games. But over the course of the season, there are also

Nolan McLean produced a bunch of impressive numbers in his first 48 Major League innings this past season. He had a 2.06 ERA, a 2.97 FIP and a 21.8% strikeout-minus-walk rate, which was tied for 17th best among starters with at least 40 innings. But there are two other numbers

Nick Kurtz. Drake Baldwin. Roman Anthony. Trey Yesavage. Nolan McLean. They and so many other rookies left their marks on the 2025 season. One year ago, they were mere prospects who had yet to make their MLB debuts, and another host of newcomers will inevitably be difference-makers for their clubs

David Wright's Hall of Fame case, like his playing career, is largely overshadowed by questions of what could have been. But bad luck doesn't tell his entire story, which is why he's managed to stick around for a third year of eligibility. He even made (admittedly minor) gains last season,
