Sigh. Yup. https://t.co/osROQL7LrJ

[Ben Yoel @Ben_Yoel]

Reminder that the Mets once interviewed Pat Murphy and instead hired Mickey Callaway. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Almost A Met Newsletter @Almost_A_Met]

For no reason at all... Just thinking about one of my favorite Halo maps: Lockout.

[James Schiano @James_Schiano]

Right now, 15 of the 30 teams are spending less on player salaries than that proposed $171.2M number, yet they agreed that it would be the salary floor in their first proposal

So, I guess those owners have more money to spend? Interesting, funny, very interesting

Today’s newsletter is out! With the latest Correa injury news, I thought it would be a good time to look at the #Mets and their ill-fated contract agreement with the infielder. It’s filled with intrigue and martinis. Hope you enjoy!

The whistling game. Lindor/Stanton etc.

[Andy Martino @martinonyc]

Audience brainstorm time. Plenty of Subway Series (regular season, not just 2000 World Series) have been told and told and told.

What’s a Subway Series moment you’d enjoy listening to an episode about ?

[Almost A Met Newsletter @Almost_A_Met]

Today's newsletter is about how Corey Kluber was almost a part of Brodie Van Wagenen's wild #Mets offseason in 2018. Check it out!

Today's newsletter is out! I took a look at the #Mets having a secret meeting with SS Jhonny Peralta before getting spooked at his price tag. Hope you enjoy!

Today's newsletter is about the... unique way the #Mets deal with Japanese slugger Norihiro Nakamura fell through in late 2002. Check it out below!

No notes. 💯

[Grimace @CookedByGrimace]

My opinion on what the Mets uniforms should be:

Home:
White Pinstripes (current)
Black (with the white outline)
White New York Jersey’s (ones they wore on 9/11 in 2021)

Road
Grey (current)
Blue (2013-22)

[Hagen Snell @HagenSnellBB]

The Mets signed Francisco Lindor to a 10 year $341M extension 5 years ago today

Ranks among SS in that span:

fWAR — 30.0 (1st)
HR — 141 (2nd)
SB — 117 (6th)
wRC+ — 124 (6th)
WPA — 12.13 (2nd)

Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, & Juan Soto are the only MLB players with more WAR

[Mike Mayer @mikemayer22]

I’m old enough to remember when the Mets had a hitting coach who wanted Francisco Alvarez to stop pulling the ball so much.

[Tobey Schulman @tschulmanreport]

WELCOME TO THE SHOW CARSON BENGE

FIRST CAREER HR IN HIS MAJOR LEAGUE DEBUT!!

What an Opening Day for the Mets!

[dianna @runwildkian]

HOW COULD YOU NOT BE ROMANTIC ABOUT BASEBALL

[Mike Mayer @mikemayer22]

No GKR on Opening Day should be a crime.

[Almost A Met Newsletter @Almost_A_Met]

Happy #OpeningDay! 💙 Truly the best day of the year. To celebrate, I thought it would be fun to do a two-part special edition newsletter. I simulated the 2026 #Mets season in @ootpbaseball . Here’s what happened.

[Almost A Met Newsletter @Almost_A_Met]

Today's newsletter is more recent, since you all seemed to enjoy a recent "almost" a few weeks ago. I looked back on a potential #Mets trade that would have swapped Starling Marte for Hunter Harvey. Check it out!

In high school I would listen to Opening Day on my walkman and hide my headphones with a hoodie. Howie is the best in the business.

[James Schiano @James_Schiano]

Man, this is sad. Howie is the best. I don’t know this team without him. It’s been a blessing to have someone who’s literally a walking encyclopedia on Mets history call games and bridge generations of fans together. I’ll really miss him. Congratulations to him on a great career

[Almost A Met Newsletter @Almost_A_Met]

With the WBC underway (I’ve been really enjoying it!) I thought I’d tie it to the #Mets today. Team USA’s manager Mark DeRosa had a somewhat hush-hush managerial interview for the team with Sandy Alderson. Read more about it!
