Torrealba To Agree To Deal With Mets

It's one of baseballs' great mysteries. The examples are few and far between. But they are there, and they are unmistakable. No doubt you've seen one. During tonight's All-Star Game, it was Edinson Volquez. My most memorable was Mike Cameron, as a member of the New York Mets. No matter where these men travel, their distinctive and completely inexplicable style...

On one hand, David Wright has taken the throne away from fellow New Yorker Derek Jeter as his Jersey sales have surpassed the smooth short-stop with the Yankees. He has brought in a variety of new fans, mostly including teenage girls ( and their moms...) He has set a new standard for the New York Mets and is receiving appropriate attention in doing so. As for Zito, a $126m contract...

I admit that if Marlon Anderson looked like the player who hit .210 in 2008 I was the first in line to cut him. I think players leave themselves vulnerable to criticism when they down play their injuries, everybody loves a gritty player who fights through injuries but a player who says he's fine ...

Here we are once again in a painfully all too familiar scenario. For the second consecutive year we are spending September looking over our shoulder. Yet again as October approaches, the Mets can not seem to do anything right. The hot breath we feel on the back of our neck is that of the Phillies. The team 90 miles to the south is threatening to thwart our post-season dreams for...

The Twins tried to make a last-minute offer to Johan Santana by offering him a five-year, $100 million offer. Santana and his agent, Peter Greenberg, rejected it so therefore, the team had no choice, but to trade their ace. Santana was sent to the New York Mets for pitchers Kevin Mulvey, Phil Humber ...

The WFAN reporter who initially reported this rumor, Sweeny Murti, was just on Detroit's WXYT with Doug Karsch and Scott Anderson to clarify whether or not the Tigers really offered Dontrelle Willis to the New York Mets. According to Murti, a formal offer wasn't made, but the Tigers - knowing t...

Dozens of seagulls dropped in on the Detroit Tigers-New York Mets game Sunday in Detroit. They interrupted play at least once, and some of them hung around the entire game. At least none of them were killed, not like some of the unlucky birds in the video below.

Unless his knee or elbow balloon to the size of, say, a grapefruit (get it, spring training, grapefuit … ok) today, Johan Santana is on schedule to throw his first live, in-game spring training pitch tonight at Tradition Field in Port St. Lucie.

- Is it me, or does Pedro Martinez at the 2009 bargain price of a John Smoltz, Brad Penny or Bartolo Colon make a lot of sense as the Mets? fifth - The way JOBA Chamberlain is pitching right now, he?d probably walk WILT Chamberlain, even with his expanded strike - With all due ...

Now that the Phils have given up on the uber-toolsy, former 1st-round pick Greg Golson (whose tools included not being able to hit a breaking ball, and no plate discipline) lets venture back to the 2004 draft, where Mike Arbuckle jumped on Golson with the 21st-overall pick. Golson was exactly the type of player Arbuckle and his staff coveted. Here's an excerpt from MLB.com'...

As if he didn't already have a hard enough time putting his baseball cap on properly, it appears flamboyant Mets shortstop and Spanish tutor Jose Reyes is finding it even more difficult to wear his hat straight with an apparent (but thus far unconfirmed) conversion to Hindi.

Manny Ramirez and Casey Blake will be the first two Dodgers featured on bobbleheads this season.  A third bobblehead will depict a player to be named later.   Casey Blake Bobblehead Night, presented by Carl's Jr., takes place Wednesday, May 20 vs. the New York Mets. The Manny Ramirez Bobblehead Night, presented by Kaiser Permanente, is Wednesday, July 22 vs. Cincinnati...

As the Mets worry about Johan Santana's elbow, and feel pretty good about John Maine, Mike Pelfrey and Ollie Perez in the middle, there are too many guys who can't seem to win that fifth starter's role. A fifth starter is a luxury until May 1, but not if someone gets hurt (or is already ...
