The New York Mets are closing up what has been a disastrous and injury-plagued season for the franchise. They are also being led by a manager in Terry Collins who isn’t under contract following the 2017 campaign. There have obviously been calls in New York for the Mets to go in a completely different direction at manager. After seven seasons with the club, maybe it’s time for Collins to simply move on. Now comes this report from Kristie Ackert of the NY Daily News indicating that those...
New York Mets manager Terry Collins has not publicly decided on his future, but this could be his last season in baseball.
According to Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News, team sources expect Collins to retire at the end of the season.
The 68-year-old is in the final year of his contract with the Mets.
Collins has hinted that 2017 could be his final year since last fall.
"I've always said a lot of it will be dictated by how I'm feeling," he said last October, per ESPN's Adam Rubin....
Speculation season is off and running!
As the Mets finish limping towards the end of a frustrating, painful season—one that both general manager Sandy Alderson and manager Terry Collins entered in the final season of their contracts—thoughts inevitably turn towards the future, or lack thereof, of current management. Conventional wisdom has held that Alderson would return, and recent reports seem to hew to that, indicating that he will be back “running the team.” Whether that means he...
Another ailment struck a Mets rotation member this week, when Jacob deGrom complained Wednesday of nausea and an upset stomach in Miami. DeGrom received treatment at Marlins Park and returned to New York with the team, but the Mets have pushed back his next scheduled start to give him more time to recuperate.
Jacob deGrom is the second Mets player this week to suffer from nausea and an upset stomach in Miami. All season, people have joked about the Mets being struck by the plague. The injuries have been catastrophic and left the team nearing the 90-loss mark. Well, it might not be a joke. Jacob deGrom, one of just two pitchers from the opening day roster who haven't gone on the disabled list this season (left-handed reliever Jerry Blevins is the other), won't...
New York Mets team sources told Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News that they expect pending free agent manager Terry Collins to retire after the conclusion of the 2017 season. However, Collins has yet to make a decision known to the Mets about whether he will continue managing in 2018 or not. Collins, 68, is the longest-tenured manager in Mets history, having steered the team through 1097 games, in which the Mets are 547-576. Ackert also reports that the Mets like the idea of the next...
According to Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News, general manager Sandy Alderson will return to the New York Mets next season. Alderson, 69, would be returning to the Mets for his eighth season after being hired on October 29, 2010. The Mets have followed up a World Series run in 2015 and a Wild Card berth last season with a disappointing 65-87 campaign and have already been eliminated from playoff contention. Ackert also reports that the Mets have yet to make a decision on manager...
Two of the New York Mets best players for the month of September have been veteran infielders Jose Reyes and Asdrubal Cabrera fueling the debate of which one should be brought back next year. Reyes has not only been the Mets best player in September but he’s also been one of the most productive players in baseball with a fWAR 1.0 that’s tied with Aaron Judge and multiple others for the eighth best in the majors. Reyes is slashing a robust .318/.408/.591 with five home runs, 15 RBI and...
Is it time for the Mets to cut ties with Matt Harvey? Beat reporter Anthony DiComo answers that question and others in this week's Mets Inbox.
In the latest edition of We Ask Mets Fans presented by StubHub, New York Mets fans discuss their favorite things about Citi Field.
It has been a while since the Mets have had legitimate offensive production out of the catcher position. On this date 16 years ago, Mike Piazza hit a game-winning home run against the Braves just ten days after 9/11. While expecting Piazza numbers out of your catcher, or anyone for that matter, is unreasonable, is 2006 Paul Lo Duca too much to ask for? In the month of September, Mets catchers are putting on a show the team hasn’t seen in years. Travis d’Arnaud, Kevin Plawecki, and Tomas...
3 UP 1. d’Arnaud Loves Miami Travis d’Arnaud has struggled much of the season at the plate with an 85 OPS+ and 86 wRC+. But that’s just when he plays anywhere other than in Miami. In Miami, d’Arnaud is the player the Mets always expected him to be. In 10 games at Marlins Park this season, d’Arnaud is hitting .440/.500/.880 with a double, triple, three homers, and eight RBI. In fact, he’s been a difference maker in Marlins Park dating back to his game winning homer in that...
Your Thursday morning dose of New York Mets and MLB news, notes, and links.
Meet the MetsRafael Montero reverted back to his old ways and gave up five runs in four innings. The rest of the bullpen was ok until Erik Goeddel allowed the Marlins to pile on late. He gave up three home runs to bring the Marlins’ total to four for the day. Brandon Nimmo also hit a home run and Travis d’Arnaud drove in a run but that was all the offense could do against Marlins’ pitching. They now have an...
There has been a lot of talk about Rafael Montero turning a corner and being a bright spot in a gloomy 2017 season for the New York Mets. However, Montero has struggled in his last two starts including getting knocked around by the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night in the Mets 9-2 loss. For the second straight outing Montero was unable to make to the fifth inning, going only four innings. In those four innings, he allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks. He struck out only two, the...
Matt Harvey has left us. Or, better stated, the Harvey we loved has. A combination of untimely injury – really, when is an injury ever timely? – slow recovery, diminished effectiveness and a little bit of his own bad judgment have conspired to threaten what was once limitless potential. Those first three conspirators are connected, of course. We knew it was bad during his magic 2013 season, when he was scratched from a start with “slight forearm stiffness” at the beginning of...
Despite the increasingly worrying health issues and pitching struggles of former Mets ace Matt Harvey, the club isn’t ready to give up on his talent. As GM Sandy Alderson tells Mike Puma of the New York Post, “it’s high unlikely that we’re not going to bring [Harvey] back next year.” Harvey is still just 28 years old and isn’t far removed from being one of the game’s most dominant starters. If there was concern when he limped to a 4.86 ERA in 17 starts last year, though,...
MIAMI — Matt Harvey could be the most expensive mop-up pitcher in the major leagues next season, an inexpensive ace for another team or something in between. The Mets appear willing to gamble on the disappointing right-hander, even at the risk of potentially wasting $6 million in 2018 should the struggles that have defined Harvey’s...
It’s been years since fans got excited about Harvey Day. What used to be a holiday is now a topic that draws rants from Mets fans. How can someone that was so good now be pitching so bad? Will we ever get Harvey back? Will he learn to pitch with diminished velocity? “There is no reason for questions, there are no answers,” Harvey said after his last start. “You are going to write what you want to write anyways, obviously it’s deserved. Whatever you want to write, there is nothing...
MIAMI — Rafael Montero’s ride was fun while it lasted, but lately he has pitched like Rafael Montero. Entrusted with preventing the Mets from getting swept in a three-game series by the Marlins, the right-hander struggled Wednesday and was knocked out after four innings. The Mets were destroyed 9-2 at Marlins Park to complete a...
Mets shortstop Amed Rosario was in the Mets clubhouse Wendesday morning and felt “a lot better.” Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports that he attributed his stomach illness to an improperly cooked meal he ate over the weekend. Whether or not he is available to play by the Mets’ next game remains to be seen. “We’re hoping,” manager Terry Collins said. “He’s got to get some food in him. He hasn’t eaten very much. When we feel that his strength and stamina is back, we’ll get...
