Mets Player Performance Meter: Position Players, August 14-20
A quick review of how the Mets’ position players fared over the past week With the Mets having completed a bunch of waiver trades over the past couple of weeks, the player meter is going to look quite a bit different the rest of the way this season than it had all year—especially on the position player side. This season is now about the performances of the team’s youngsters and what types of players they might look like heading into the 2018 season. Perhaps still a candidate to be traded, Asdrubal Cabrera has an option for next year that might have the Mets interested...

Mets Morning News: Mistakes prove costly against the Marlins
Your Monday morning dose of New York Mets and MLB news, notes, and links. Meet the Mets No offense and shaky defense led to another lost Sunday afternoon for the Mets against the Marlins. The Marlins’ defense played a vital role in Saturday’s win, and on Sunday it was the Mets’ turn to give the game away. Only Cespedes’s error showed up in the box score, but crucial misplays by Travis d’Arnaud and Amed Rosario set the stage for Giancarlo Stanton to take Jacob deGrom deep. The offense could not get going against starter Adam Conley. They did attempt a comeback against the bullpen...

Mets vs Marlins Recap: Too little, too late
deGrom was felled by Stanton’s 45th dinger The Mets dropped the third game, and the series, to the Miami Marlins this afternoon at Citi Field, 6-4. Someone needs to change all the Mets calendars to just read “Second Saturday,” because their play on Sundays has been absolutely atrocious this year (6-14). Jacob deGrom started for the Mets, and looked reasonably strong through his first six innings. A pair of singles to Dee Gordon and Christian Yelich put the Marlins up 1-0 in the top of the first, but that lead was quickly neutralized by a Yoenis Cespedes home run in the...

Goodbye, Curtis
The outfielder certainly leaves a lasting impression behind. Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened. ~Dr. Seuss When word came down late on Friday night that Curtis Granderson had been traded to the Dodgers, I cried. Judging from all the Twitter posts, internet comments, Facebook comments, and quotes from teammates I was not alone in my reaction. That alone speaks volumes about the character of Curtis Granderson. Michael Conforto gave Curtis Granderson a ton of credit for his development. Can tell he's pretty upset today. #mets— Zach Braziller (@NYPost_Brazille)...
