Mets sign Chuck James

Last week I completed this post on the budget, basically were sitting at about $93M unless they take into consideration the entire 40 man roster. Here's a look at when this group will be leaving or at least need to be re-signed to be kept. The Mets currently have 8 players who are under major league contract, who are out of options, the year next to their name indicates the...

The Mets have re-signed Mike Baxter to a minor-league deal. Baxter, who was born in Queens, played in just 22 games for the Mets last season, while splitting time in left and right field.

The difference between the #2 and the #3 Top Mets Prospect is so small, you can’t even see it from here. You would need some extreme magnification to see the difference between these two players. And since someone has to be 3rd, I flipped a coin, of course I’m kidding, I studied long and hard. I crunched the number’s, I poured over reams of scouting reports, made...

It was a catch no one could forget, and for his efforts, Ben Revere was honored with a Greatness in Baseball Yearly Award for the Play of the Year.

It was only fitting that on the same day the Twins officially introduced Josh Willingham as their new starting right fielder, the Rockies reportedly reached an agreement with Michael Cuddyer on a three-year deal worth $31.5 million.

The Minnesota Twins welcomed former A's outfielder Josh Willingham to the team Thursday, a move that could prompt Michael Cuddyer's departure. Willingham agreed to a three-year, $21 million contract, giving the Twins a...

Amid all the joy around the news that Michael Cuddyer and the Rockies have (reportedly) finally consummated their off-season romance with a three-year contract worth $31.5 million, there is also a keen sense of loss. What will fill the void left in our hearts? What will replace the excitment we have felt over the past few weeks while waiting for hourly updates full of will-they-don...

The Pirates have agreed to sign right-handed reliever Ryota Igarashi to a split contract, according to a Jiji Press article passed along by Patrick Newman of NPB Tracker. Igarashi, who spent the past two seasons with the Mets, is a Wasserman Media Group client. Igarashi posted a 4.66 ERA with 9.8 K/9, 6.5 BB/9 and a 45.6% ground ball rate in 38 2/3 innings for the Mets in 2011...

Bridge load, meet bridge ballplayers. Andres Torres (under team control for two more years) and Ramon Ramirez (one year) will be gone by the time the Mets are ready to contend. Their stay in Flushing coincides with a transitional period for the franchise, both on the field and financially, and they will be asked to help keep the team out of last place during the bridge years.

Just two years removed from a World Series championship, new Mets acquisitions Andres Torres and Ramon Ramirez know the expectations will not be as high in New York as they were in San Francisco. They also know they have the power to change that.

New Mets center fielder Andres Torres knows about struggles.
