NEW YORK -- Carlos Mendoza certainly noticed when one of the most prominent managers in baseball, Alex Cora, was let go last weekend amidst a poor start for the Red Sox. He saw when one of his friends and mentors, Rob Thomson, suffered the same fate Tuesday morning with the

NEW YORK -- An unfamiliar sound rang out after the fourth inning Tuesday night at Citi Field, a ballpark that has been as hostile to the Mets as anywhere in the country. On this occasion, fans around the stadium stood up from their seats and cheered. That’s simply not a

NEW YORK -- As if things aren’t going poorly enough for the Mets, they are operating with their best player at less than 100%. Juan Soto is dealing with left forearm tightness, which is why he has yet to appear in the outfield since returning from the injured list last

NEW YORK -- Seeking answers on struggling right-hander Kodai Senga, the Mets finally found one -- just not one that gives them any sort of clarity for the months ahead. Following his third consecutive poor start, Senga landed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to what the team called

NEW YORK -- Fourteen plate appearances into Tommy Pham’s latest tour in New York, the Mets are parting ways with him. The team designated Pham for assignment following its doubleheader sweep at the hands of the Rockies on Sunday. Pham went 0-for-13 with a walk during his brief stint with

NEW YORK -- In many ways, the Mets’ sweep at the hands of the Rockies this weekend was more disheartening than the 12-game losing streak that preceded it. The streak was one thing -- a cavalcade of poor play, exacerbated by bad luck, that sunk the Mets down the standings

NEW YORK -- At various points this season, Nolan McLean has been splendid, exceptional, incredible. On Sunday, he was something less anticipated: mortal. The Rockies recorded five hits and two walks off McLean in five-plus innings of a 3-1 loss to Colorado in Game 1 of a doubleheader at Citi

NEW YORK -- With rain in the forecast nearly all day Saturday, the Mets postponed their 4:10 p.m. ET game against the Rockies. It will be made up as part of a single-admission doubleheader Sunday beginning at 1:40 p.m. ET, with the second game starting 30-45 minutes after the end

NEW YORK -- Ask Mets officials about Freddy Peralta, and they will point to the quality of his stuff, the sharpness of his arsenal, the vivaciousness of his personality. There’s a reason why the Mets targeted Peralta over the offseason. He’s a good Major League pitcher. On his best days,

NEW YORK -- It’s a weird time to be a Mets starting pitcher. Entering Spring Training, the Mets’ rotation depth chart read something like this: Freddy Peralta, Nolan McLean, Clay Holmes, David Peterson, Sean Manaea, Kodai Senga, Tobias Myers, Christian Scott and Jonah Tong. Quibble with the order all you

NEW YORK -- The end of a weird 10-8 Mets win over the Twins on Thursday night became a few degrees weirder when, for a moment, no one seemed to know who was pitching in the top of the ninth inning. The Mets had just taken the lead on Bo

NEW YORK -- Standing on second base, Bo Bichette turned toward the home dugout at Citi Field and punched his right fist once, then a second time emphatically through the air. The first two dozen games of Bichette’s Mets career had been a slog. On his inaugural weekend as a

NEW YORK -- A day after welcoming Juan Soto back to their lineup, the Mets officially said a temporary goodbye to Francisco Lindor. Lindor landed on the 10-day injured list Thursday after straining his left calf running the bases in the previous night's 3-2 win over the Twins that snapped

NEW YORK -- Try getting a hit the first time through the batting order against Nolan McLean. Just try it. If you’re anything like the first 45 big leaguers to attempt that feat this season, you will probably fail. For the second time this year, McLean took a perfect game

NEW YORK -- About three hours before first pitch on Tuesday, Mets owner Steve Cohen emerged into the Mets’ dugout for an impromptu chat about his team. Cohen described himself as “calm,” but also “concerned” and “focused.” He suggested that he is not the type to panic, even in the

NEW YORK -- In the midst of their worst losing streak in decades, the Mets are shaking up their rotation. The team plans to call up Christian Scott to move into the starting five on Thursday against the Twins, bumping Kodai Senga back in the rotation. David Peterson will shift

LOS ANGELES -- Richard Lovelady's whirlwind tour of the Majors continued on Thursday, when the Mets traded him back to the very team that designated him for assignment last month. The Mets dealt Lovelady, whom they had DFA'd themselves earlier this week, to the Nationals for cash. That move came

LOS ANGELES -- Shortly after losing their eighth consecutive game, an 8-2 defeat to the Dodgers on Wednesday, the Mets sat inside a cramped visiting clubhouse searching for answers. In one corner, a group of veterans talked softly by their lockers. Around the room, various Mets buried their heads in

LOS ANGELES -- Jared Young's feel-good start to the season hit a major snag this week, when the 30-year-old was diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his left knee. The team placed Young on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday, calling up outfielder MJ Melendez from Triple-A Syracuse to replace

LOS ANGELES -- Early in Nolan McLean's start Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, he caused Shohei Ohtani to glitch on a sweeper, making the four-time MVP contort his body backward on a pitch that clipped the strike zone. An inning later, Freddie Freeman acted similarly on an inside sinker before

LOS ANGELES -- The Mets, who have proven inconsistent offensively throughout a five-game losing streak, are calling on a familiar face for help.
