Steve Cohen

The front office needs to trade at the deadline for bullpen help. It's still the one area the Mets need to solidify.

Pete Alonso is the face of the New York Mets and he's the one player who can turn around his team and point them in the right direction.

Mets' owner Steve Cohen has come under fire this week, after he deleted a post on X where he seemed to admitted that his team would not be competitive in 2024.

Being the New York Mets manager has never been an easy task. It rarely promises a career of longevity, no matter how well you do. Most recently, Buck Showalter was fired one year after winning the National League Manager of the Year award.

The New York Mets have had more than their fair share of dysfunctional general managers throughout the years. From Joe McDonald allowing "The Franchise" Tom Seaver to be traded in 1977 to hiring Jared Porter, in between his inappropriate text messages to reporters, the Mets GM position has been anything but "Amazin'."

Over the past decade, the development of the daily line-up card, more importantly who's on it and where, has become more of an organizational decision, rather than one that sits solely with the team's manager. For a grizzled veteran skipper, like Buck Showalter, that has been a dooming change.

David Stearns took over the New York Mets on Monday, as their new president of baseball operations. Besides being force-fed general manager Billy Eppler by owner Steve Cohen, it appears that Stearns will have free rein.

The saying goes something like 'you can take the New Yorker out of New York but you can't the New York out of...' Well, you get the idea. Now let's apply that same philosophy to the "Charlie Brown" of major sports franchises, the New York Mets. Can anyone really save the Mets from themselves? David Stearns, a Mets fan from Manhattan, will be next up to have that unenviable task.

Now-former New York Mets' ace Max Scherzer punished Mets' fans one final time on his way out the door, and set the team back years in the process.

When right-handed relief pitcher, David Robertson signed a one-year $10 million contract at Citi Field back in December, the last that crossed his mind was that his new team, coming off 101-wins and a playoff appearance in 2022, would be out of the post-season tournament picture by August 1st. Well David, welcome to the New York Mets.

It all started out so promisingly. The 2022 New York Mets jumped ahead to a 10.5 game lead over the Atlanta Braves in the National League East on June 1st. However, by the beginning of October of last season, that lead was gone and the rest is history. Manager Buck Showalter, once again, got his team close to a championship but lost in the process.

'Ya Gotta Believe' was a slogan that New York Mets fans clung onto 50 years ago this summer. Famous Mets' reliever Tug McGraw, father of country music star Tim McGraw, coined the phrase during the Amazin's improbable run to the World Series in 1973.
