It’s early, but the results are encouraging.
If you’ve been following the Mets at all this year, it would be hard to miss just how good the bullpen has been through the first few weeks of the season. It’s been discussed on the team’s broadcasts, broken down in Allison McCague’s excellent weekly pitcher performance meters, and garnered the attention of several other outlets.
Mets relievers have combined for a 2.95 ERA that...
The New York Mets will be without rising star catcher Francisco Alvarez for two months, leaving them with a need for an extra body at the position. Patrick McAvoy of Fan Nation’s Inside the Mets identified Jorge Alfaro as an attractive free agent for the Mets to consider signing off of the free agent pile while Alvarez recovers.

The Mets have faltered of late. They have dropped three straight games and scored just three runs total in those losses. A contribution to the blue and orange’s recent woes has been the loss of starting catcher Francisco Álvarez.

Both runs came in the first inning- first baseman Kyle Manzardo hit a two-run homer- but Syracuse came roaring back quickly, tying the game in the second with a Jose Iglecias two-run homer.

Every Met not named Starling Marte had absolutely no answer for Logan Webb, as the Mets offense continued to keep cool since their Sunday loss to the Dodgers.
The story of this game has little to do with the Mets, and everything to do with the starting pitcher for the San Francisco Giants.

The Mets have reinstated right-handed pitcher Max Kranick from the injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse. Back in late February, Kranick suffered a hamstring injury that cost him the shot at making the Mets’ Opening Day roster.
Not too long after Opening Day, however, Kranick started his rehab assignment with the Single-A St. Lucie Mets. After he made two appearances at that level, the Mets...
