Reading Time: < 1 minutes53 home runs (rookie record), 120 RBI’s, a Home Run Derby champion, and only one season in the big leagues. Who knew someone could achieve these stats in their first season? No one, except for Pete Alonso. Based off his early success, there’s an even bigger feat that Pete may have in his future: The career Home Run record. If Pete Alonso were to hit 53 or more home runs per season, it would take him around a total of 15 seasons to break the record, that is currently held by Barry Bonds. Pete Alonso...

Reading Time: 2 minutesThe Mets now have a massive hole in the pitching rotation, as Noah Syndergaard is going to undergo Tommy John surgery in the near future.  Syndergaard was slotted to be in the #2 spot of one of the top rotations in all of baseball.

Porcello has been a quality pitcher since his...

He has already managed many of the Mets core guys and he is already familiar with the roster. Even if the Mets were to hire a experienced manager, them too would have a tough time getting to know the whole organization and getting the team ready for this...

Reading Time: 3 minutesThis past week has undoubtedly been one of the worst weeks imaginable for Mets fans. A superstar outfielder is being traded to an already strong National League team, and the Mets deal to finally sell the team has tragically fallen through. It all started over 2 months ago in the beginning of December, when reports stated that Mets were getting a new owner. This came to the joy of many, as billionaire Steve Cohen would become the new majority owner; but there was a big caveat: The Wilpon’s would be able to continue their regime for...
