The Mets should take a look at their young arms
Photo by G Fiume/ Essentially, there’s nothing to lose. It’s no secret that the Mets’ rotation outside of Jacob deGrom has been awful this season. Even with the best pitcher in baseball leading the way, Mets starters have run a cumulative 5.18 ERA. Injuries and opt-outs decimated what was supposed to be the core of the rotation—Noah Syndergaard, Marcus Stroman, and Steven Matz—and both Rick Porcello and Michael Wacha have failed to fill those holes as free agent band aids. This glaring roster problem has really hurt the Mets’ postseason chances. After entering the...

The potential Steve Cohen effects on Mets roster: Sherman
The Wilpons, through the trade deadline actions of Brodie Van Wagenen, have signaled how they want to handle their waning days of ownership: No surrender. Go for it. In 2019, when that could have been the Wilpons’ final year of ownership, the Mets used prospect capital and money to land Marcus Stroman in what appeared...

Why Brodie Van Wagenen is unlikely to make major Mets splash at trade deadline
Don’t expect any big splashes from Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen before next Monday’s trade deadline. Van Wagenen, who traded prospects for Marcus Stroman at last year’s deadline, said Monday he expected a quieter deadline around MLB — and in Queens, as teams figure to be cautious due to the uncertainty of the season....
