Every New York sports fan knows that Kyrie Irving can't play at home because he's not vaccinated. Well, that same rule is about to impact star baseball players, too.
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — Mets star Francisco Lindor has a plan in place to help the game slow down for him in his second season with New York. He said “life was a little faster for me last year” and that he wasn't as ”productive as I wanted to be." Lindor's 10-year deal...
New York Mets' star Pete Alonso was involved in a horrible car crash Sunday, and considers himself "blessed to be alive" heading back to spring training Monday.
With the MLB lockout behind us, one team seemed to create more chaos than the rest: the New York Mets. Are the Mets, and Steve Cohen, the league's new villains?
As fans grew tired of the public negotiations between the Major League owners and the MLB Players Association, thousands of New Yorkers were more upset about the money they would personally be losing. When MLB commissioner Rob Manfred officially delayed the season last week, that meant good-bye to a week's paycheck for thousands of New York residents.
The 99 day impasse between the Major League ball owners and the players is over, for at least another few years. Spring training facilities will be buzzing for the remainder of March, as players, coaches and staff get ready for Opening Day on April 7th. But now the fun part begins. Free agency, as well as the trade market, should be on fire for the next several weeks. Let's see who may or may not land in New York.
Major League Baseball has officially cancelled the first two series' of the 2022 season, and New York's baseball players are sounding off on the decisions of the league.
The Major League baseball owners and the MLB Players Association met again on Tuesday. It was announced afterward that "little progress" was made. However, realistically, each step of progress will usher the two sides towards an eventual agreement. And, it may be sooner than we are being led to believe.
One bright spot for the New York Mets over the last few years has been the development of outfielder Brandon Nimmo. The lanky athletic leadoff man has been getting better and better. Nimmo was selected with the 13th overall pick in the first round of the 2011 draft. Growing up in Cheyenne, Wyoming is a challenge for any aspiring baseball player. Nimmo didn't even have a high school baseball team to play on. His team was an American Legion League team and Brandon stood out enough for then general manager, Sandy Alderson to select him in the 1st round.
The story continues to become clearer through murky details and testimony provided from a trial of a sadder story. What really happened to that young dominant right-handed pitcher that owned the City of New York? No, not Dwight Gooden, the one that they called The Dark Night, Matt Harvey. It now appears that the same drug may have taken down both prominent young Mets aces, Gooden and Harvey.
On Thursday, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred announced the adoption of the universal DH rule for 2022. Now National League pitchers will no longer have to hit. So, who will fill that role with the Mets? Given the New York's endlessly deep pockets, thanks to billionaire owner Steve Cohen's determination to bring a winning team to Cit Field, there are quite a few roads to pursue an answer. The Amazin's have several internal designated hitter options, given the number of defensively challenged players that fill their current 40-man roster. At times, superstar right-handed pitcher Jacob deGrom has been the best hitter in the Mets line-up, making this question even more interesting.
