Counting down the best minor league pitchers I saw in 2019.
DISCLAIMER: This is a ranking of the best players that I saw during the 2019 season. I saw a wide cross-section of teams, attending Kingsport Mets, Brooklyn Cyclones, Columbia Fireflies, and Binghamton Rumble Ponies games, but I did not see the GCL Mets, St. Lucie Mets, or Syracuse Mets, nor did I attend every single game of the teams that I did see. As such, this is not a comprehensive Mets prospect...

The right-handed reliever keeps flashing brilliance, but not often enough.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: the Mets had high hopes that Robert Gsellman would take a step forward in 2019, living up to some of the potential he flashed as a starter in 2016-2017. Unfortunately, in a refrain that is practically committed to memory by this point, Gsellman continued to struggle with consistency this season.
On an appearance by appearance basis,...

Prior to his forgettable stint with the 1992 Mets, Kevin Bass opposed New York in the 1986 National League Championship Series.
Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past.
Kevin Bass came to the Mets in the summer of 1992, as New York tried to stoke the flaming embers of a near dynastic run and make a desperate playoff push.
Bass’s most indelible tie to the franchise, though, was at...
The Mets have begun narrowing the field in their managerial search, as Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that neither Padres first base coach Skip Schumaker nor D-backs director of player development Mike Bell will receive a second interview. Joe Girardi, Eduardo Perez, Carlos Beltran, Mets quality control coach Luis Rojas, Nationals first base coach and Twins bench coach Derek Shelton are all in line for second-round interviews in the near future. New York’s search doesn’t...

Astros lineup George Springer -...The search for a new manager rages on for the New York Mets, and several Tuesday reports suggest that if a clear favorite does not emerge for the job, a “bombshell candidate” could serve as a fallback option. Who might that “bombshell candidate” be? Some have suggested — and since dismissed — that David Wright could be the guy, while others have batted around names such as Alex Rodriguez, Bobby Valentine, Ron Darling, Keith Hernandez, Joe Torre, Jessica Mendoza, Mike Piazza and...

Houston Assistant GM Brandon Taubman is under fire for his behavior at the ALCS celebration, and the team is giving him cover.
In a disturbing article published last night by Sports Illustrated, Stephanie Apstein reported an incident during the Astros’ ALCS-winning celebration in which Houston Assistant GM Brandon Taubman came up to a group of reporters—all female with one wearing a domestic violence awareness bracelet—and “yelled, half a dozen...

d’Arnaud helped the Rays to the postseason, while the Mets rostered Tomas Nido all year.
Last offseason, the Mets faced a tough decision with catcher Travis d’Arnaud. The once-heralded prospect had suffered through an injury-laden career to that point, and was coming off Tommy John Surgery. d’Arnaud had been a decent catcher when healthy, but was due $3.5 million in arbitration coming off a lost season, and the Mets already had Kevin Plawecki and...

Each of the remaining candidates come with pros and cons.
Up to this point, it’s been difficult figuring out the...

The long disregarded prospect permanently silenced the doubters and cemented his status as a building block for the Mets.
Jeff McNeil’s debut in 2018 was fairly brief—he only appeared in 63 games for the major league team, as the front office resisted calls to promote him earlier in the season—but it was incredibly memorable. The then-26-year-old infielder did nothing but hit as soon as he was called up, and he ended his rookie campaign with a...

That’s according to Ken Rosenthal, who tweeted those names last night and mentioned that they will all get a second in-person interview with the Mets.

The Mets are entering their second round of managerial interviews, with two names already scheduled for another meeting with team brass. SNY’s Andy Martino reported yesterday that long-time Mets star Carlos Beltran was expected to get another interview, and Mike Puma of the New York Post writes that the Mets have indeed asked the Yankees for permission to speak with Beltran (who is a special advisor to the Yankees GM Brian Cashman).
