Max Kranick will begin the year on the IL, possibly serve as rotation depth for the 2024 Mets

Max Kranick will begin the year on the IL, possibly serve as rotation depth for the 2024 Mets

Photo by Elsa/ The 26-year-old suffered a hamstring injury in spring training. Back in mid-January, the Mets claimed 26-year-old right-handed pitcher Max Kranick on waivers, a move that might not have registered with most Mets fans ahead of his brief stint in spring training that ended with a hamstring injury. With the team’s Opening Day rotation set, Tylor Megill will begin the year at the major league level with José Butto and Joey Lucchesi starting in Triple-A Syracuse. As things stand, the rotation there figures to be pretty crowded, and whenever Kranick is ready...

Tylor Megill makes Mets’ Opening Day rotation, José Butto optioned to minors

Jim Rassol-USA TODAY Sports The 28-year-old has claimed a spot in the team’s rotation. Earlier today, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza announced that 28-year-old right-handed pitcher Tylor Megill had made the team’s Opening Day rotation, taking the spot that opened up when Kodai Senga got hurt early in spring training. The spot always seemed to be Megill’s to lose, but he wasn’t alone in trying to claim it. Max Kranick was said to be in the mix before suffering an injury of his own, José Butto pitched very well in spring training after putting up good numbers in...

David Peterson is a rotation question mark in 2024

David Peterson is a rotation question mark in 2024

Photo by Jim McIsaac/ An injury is robbing him of the first couple months of the season and a prime opportunity. A relatively quiet offseason has come and gone for the Mets, with a few pitching additions that on a good day should bump the Mets’ rotation depth to just that: depth. However, Kodai Senga’s injury and its unknown duration create an opening, with familiar names (Tylor Megill, José Butto) trying to claim the final open slot. One name that has spent the last few years lingering around that final rotation spot, though, is not even in the mix. Long before...

Joey Lucchesi will be a valuable depth piece for the Mets this season

Joey Lucchesi will be a valuable depth piece for the Mets this season

Photo by Daniel Shirey/MLB Photos via The southpaw is coming off a solid 2023 season. Heading into camp this year, Joey Lucchesi’s role on the team was a bit undefined with the additions of Luis Severino, Adrian Houser, and Sean Manaea in the offseason. With Kodai Senga and José Quintana returning, the rotation seemed set to begin the year, and Lucchesi, Tylor Megill, and José Butto would serve as depth pieces for the 2024 season. Now with Senga’s injury things have opened up a bit and Lucchesi and his unique churve could grab the final spot in the rotation to...

NYY @ NYM: Tanner Tully vs. Tylor Megill

Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports The Bombers head to Port St. Lucie to take on their crosstown rivals. After a day of being deprived of our beloved Yankees, we’ve got an authentic, televised Grapefruit League game to bring you. The Bombers may not have their Opening Day lineup heading to Port St. Lucie, but any game against the Mets should be exciting. Tanner Tully makes his second appearance of the spring after previously pitching two innings of scoreless relief. The Yankees invited him to camp after he started his career with the Guardians, had a stint at...

Will Tylor Megill’s “American Spork” make him a different pitcher in 2024?

Will Tylor Megill’s “American Spork” make him a different pitcher in 2024?

Photo by Elsa/ The answer to this question may say something about where the Mets’ pitching development stands. There’s been a common running theme to season previews for pitchers like Tylor Megill over the past few years. The general gist of it would be that if Pitcher X—someone who has largely looked like a sixth or seventh starter, i.e. a guy who will occasionally show some promise but more often has been thoroughly mediocre throughout their baseball career—can just take a minor step forward, they can establish themselves as a starter the Mets can rely on...
