The New York Mets have signed right-hander Bryce Conley to a minor league deal.  The 31-year-old was originally drafted in 2017 by the Oakland Athletics in the 22nd round. Making it as far as Triple-AAA numerous times, Conley has appeared in 160 minor league games with 76 games being starts. Overall, the hurler has a 21-33 record and has pitched to the tune of a 4.53 ERA in 491 innings. The 31-year-old righty worked mainly as a starter last season, recording 118.2 innings bet

The New York Mets have more former Yankees on their roster amongst all levels compared to every other team that are not the Yankees themselves. Sunday saw the Mets add Ben Rortvedt off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Rortvedt is graded as an above average catcher in terms of blocking and framing pitches, but he has a below average arm when trying to throw out base runners. Rortvedt will be the team’s third-string catcher behind Francisco Alvarez and highly-regarded defe

Jose Siri had the worst statistical season in New York Mets franchise history for a position player since Billy Hamilton’s 2020 season with the Mets. Billy Hamilton, who was one of the fastest players in the league at the time of him being in New York, appeared in 17 games for the New York Mets. In those 17, Hamilton had 22 at-bats and recorded just a single hit to bat .045, which is the worst in franchise history for a position player. Hamilton’s OPS was a mere .129, but som

The New York Mets have desperately tried to fill the gap on the pitching rubber left by Jacob deGrom, and it hasn’t worked whatsoever. Obviously at this point in time, deGrom is entering his age 37 season and likely will end his career in Texas so a reunion is out of the question. The most hype a Mets pitcher has gotten since deGrom was Jonah Tong, who was clearly rushed to the majors and as of now is a flop with a 7.71 ERA. Tong, who is just 22-years-old, has time to develop

In early November, the New York Yankees parted ways with international scouting director Donny Rowland. The split ended Rowland’s 15-year tenure in the role and overall over 20-years with the Yankees organization.  The Yankees have suffered fallout since Rowland’s departure, although it will be unclear if any negative or positive affect will occur in the near future. Highly ranked Dominican shortstop Wandy Asigen cut ties with the Yankees shortly after Rowland’s departure.  A

Kodai Senga was a prized free agent signing when acquired by the New York Mets in the 2022 offseason. Now, with three years under his belt in the majors, Senga has pitched to a flat 3.00 ERA in 285 innings. Despite Senga’s great production, one undeniable factor is that he simply cannot stay healthy. Senga’s time on the injured list has limited him to just 52 starts, with just one start in 2024 making up his entire season of 5.1 innings. With Senga’s health woes and frankly i

The New York Mets have released Frankie Montas to clear space on their 40-man. Montas was entering the final year of what was a two-year deal when DFA’d by New York. Montas battled with injury all season long and eventually had it prematurely ended in August with a UCL injury. The injury, which led to elbow surgery, will sideline the 32-year-old for 2026. So the Mets releasing him to open up room on their 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 Draft makes perfect sense. In seven s

As seen in TDA Baseball . See the original article here. Every year we hear about a player winning the World Series with a team that they only played a handful of games with. But out of all those champions, there is one name that stands out: Terrance Gore. Gore is retired from professional baseball at 34-years-old, but is a two-time World Series champion. Last appearing in 2022, the former 20th rounder from 2011 only recorded 85 plate appearances throughout 112 games. The low

One of the first moves this offseason for the Mets has them once again looking at players from their cross-state rivals. The New York Mets have signed Jose Rojas to a minor league contract with an expected invite to spring training. Rojas, 32, is coming off of a 2025 season where he belted 32 home runs and dominated Triple-AAA SWB for the Yankees. A .287 batting average with an OPS that nearly hit 1.000 on the season gave Rojas one of the best campaigns of his professional ba

Jonah Tong got a taste of the major league lights as a late-season call-up to help support the Mets crippled and inconsistent pitching staff. Tong, a top three prospect and draftee of the Mets organization in 2022, would ultimately struggle at the big league level after sheer dominance in the minors. 2025 would see a combined ERA of 1.43 in 22 starts between Double and Triple-A before being called up for his major league debut. Tong was undoubtedly rushed to the majors, and i
