New York Mets News, Scores, Stats & Standings | New York Post
- Mike Tauchman proving he’s more than Mets insurance policy in fight for roster spot "Mike Tauchman led off Thursday’s 7-4 loss to the Nationals at Ballpark of the Palm Beaches with a long double and also started the game in left field, again showing the defensive versatility that the Mets believe could make the lefty-swinger valuable."
- Mets’ Bo Bichette keeps flashing hitting prowess with another strong spring game
- Brett Baty, Jorge Polanco get more acquainted with new Mets roles "Baty, who played the outfield — but only left — in the minors, is still adjusting to balls moving in the opposite direction of what he’s used to seeing when he’s on the left side of the field. He agreed with manager Carlos Mendoza’s decision to keep him on the right side of the diamond for the foreseeable future, either at first base or in right field. "
- The key for Kodai Senga as he looks to shed his Mets enigma label "Through the early part of spring, the right-hander has felt and looked good. He’ll make his spring debut on Saturday against the Cardinals in Jupiter, Fla., looking to keep the positive vibes going."
- Jon Heyman: Top 15 rookies for the 2026 MLB season — with a pair of Mets riding high Nolan Mclean at #1 and Carson Benge at #6 make the list.

- Brett Baty smacks homer, Bo Bichette notches two hits in Mets' loss to Nationals
- Mets Notes: Sean Manaea, Kodai Senga set for spring debuts; Nolan McLean leaving camp to join Team USA “A pair of veteran starters will make their Grapefruit League debuts over the next two days, with Manaea set to start on Friday against the Miami Marlins, and Senga starting on Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals.”
Laura Albanese Newsday: Mets who will benefit most from thenew ABS challenge system. Laura notes
that in Triple-A last year and so far in Spring Training, the Mets were
successful 50% of the time on challenges.
Besides Juan Soto she thinks Clay Holmes will benefit from the ABS noting:
“The movement on Holmes’ pitches makes him hard to track, and that was the case
with umpires, too. Of the 2,766 pitches he threw last season, 2.3% were called
balls despite being strikes — among the highest such percentages in baseball
for pitchers with similar workloads.”
MLB.com:
There's a new No. 1 in farm system rankings. Brewers take the top spot, Mets come in at #7 - "The Mets have arguably the best pitching development group in baseball, and they also have the top pitching prospect to show for it. Tong, Jack Wenninger, Jonathan Santucci and Will Watson are also upper-level arms with strong results and the stuff to match, and that depth helped make Brandon Sproat movable this offseason in the Freddy Peralta blockbuster."
Spring Breakout is almost here 👀

2016 - The Commissioner's office overturns the two-game suspension handed to Dodgers IF Chase Utley for a dangerous slide that injured the Mets' Ruben Tejada in last year's NLDS. The decision is because the rules regarding sliding at the time were too vague; they have since been strengthened.
3/6/2016 Major League Baseball drops Chase Utley’s two-game suspension. Utley was initially suspended for breaking Rubén Tejada’s leg in the 2015 NLDS but MLB chief baseball officer Joe Torre stated that “there wasn't anything clear-cut to say that play violated a rule.” pic.twitter.com/AjW7k83nww
