Mets Morning News for March 28, 2024

Photo by Dustin Satloff/ Your Thursday morning dose of New York Mets and MLB news, notes, and links. Meet the Mets For the second year in a row, the Mets home opener is rained out. Even though Opening Day will have to wait, the season predictions still apply. It is the one time of year that it’s ok to have some hope as both a baseball fan and as a Mets fan. Edwin Díaz is looking forward to returning to the Citi Field mound and sounding the trumpets once again. Kodai Senga has resumed throwing and hopes he can continue to improve upon his successful rookie season once...

Overhauled Mets have winning expectations after disastrous 2023

A team that enters this season with a much less starry roster than the past few years and correspondingly low expectations is aware of those expectations — and believes it can surpass them.

Francisco Lindor looks to have another excellent season in Queens

Francisco Lindor looks to have another excellent season in Queens

Photo by Daniel Shirey/MLB Photos via After a down first season, Lindor has posted 6-fWAR campaigns each of the last two years. Entering his fourth season as the Mets shortstop, Francisco Lindor has developed into a leader and one of the faces of the franchise. It started out a little bumpy in 2021, but over the last two seasons, Lindor has been not only the most valuable shortstop in baseball by fWAR, but the fourth-most valuable player in the sport behind only Aaron Judge, Freddie Freeman, and Mookie Betts by that measure. Of course, a lot of that has to do with...

Alex Ramirez needs more time

Alex Ramirez needs more time

Photo by Jared Blais/MLB Photos via The speedy outfielder looks to improve his bat in 2024. Before the Mets sent most of their tradable players elsewhere at the 2023 trade deadline, Alex Ramirez was a much more important piece in the Mets’ system. An international free agent who got a $2.05 million signing bonus, Ramirez is an athletic, speedy outfield prospect who has not played above Single-A Brooklyn. He’s also very, very young. Having just turned 21, Ramirez is still very much a work in progress, and very much an unknown. After an impressive 2022 season, split...

We’re all rooting for Zack Short

We’re all rooting for Zack Short

Photo by Rich Storry/ The feel good story of late spring has arrived. On Sunday morning, Zack Short got a phone call that many of us have experienced: his grandmother had passed away. Short, in his first spring training with the Mets, could not join his family in the Kingston area to be with his grandmother as she died. As much fun as it seems like being a pro ballplayer is, this is the downside: you’re a thousand miles away for moments that don’t get a do-over. You miss a lot. But just a few hours later, Short was told that he made the Opening Day roster for the...

José Quintana is an unlikely Opening Day starter

José Quintana is an unlikely Opening Day starter

Photo by Rich Storry/ The veteran lefty hopes to build on his successful, but limited, 2023 season. This wasn’t how Opening Day was supposed to go. Depending on when you were projecting the Mets’ Opening Day starter, you either had optimism that Yoshinobu Yamamoto was going to be the newest Met and would take the hill on March 28th. If it was on the first day of Spring Training, you likely thought Kodai Senga would be introduced from the bullpen at Citi Field. Or, if a few weeks ago, after Yamamoto signed with Los Angeles and Senga injured his shoulder, you maybe...
