There is no outfielder on the current New York Mets roster that is making more than $497,218. That total belongs Lucas Duda, who has been with the team for the past three seasons. But that doesn’t mean he is the highest paid outfielder that the Mets are paying. That honor belongs to Jason Bay, who will make $18.12 million from the ridiculous buyout the Wilpon’s decided to use...

It looks like Lenny Dykstra is going for that old Brian Wilson look while he is behind bars. A mugshot of the gray-bearded Dykstra, once known as "Nails" for his all-out playing style, was obtained by TMZ and shows the former New York Mets centerfielder sporting a ZZ Top starter face. It bears little resemblance to the "Dude" of old. Dykstra, who was a key...

The Mets are playing an intra-squad game today and MetsBlog posted the lineups for both sides. We are used to seeing stars not making road trips but apparently they do not play intra-squad games, either. No Wright, no Santana, no Tejada, no Duda. Not even a Buck to be found on either team. That’s okay, there are still a bunch of interesting things to be gleaned from this exhibition...

We are at the end of one of those brief two-week periods each year when there is actually very little to talk and write about when it comes to MLB and the New York Mets. The news of the day is generally not compelling and what little news there is (i.e. the injury to Daniel Murphy, the visa issue with Jenrry Meija and the daily d’Arnaud/Wheeler watch) is constantly analyzed and...

This week, Terry Collins and David Wright provided their annual sound bites that they believe the Mets, yes the group that has found its way to Port St. Lucie this spring, have it in them to make a run to the playoffs. I know what your thinking. How could a team that won only on seventy-four games last season with a Cy Young Award winning knuckleballer that has since been traded...

We're only scant days away from actual games involving the New York Mets. Thank heaven and hell for that. You might have figured out that I've been focused on the banality of spring training relatively recently. The worst time to put Mets happenings into meaningful context is spring training, and the worst time within that time is the space between the moment the team reports...

Bryce Harper is going to be the Nationals' every day left fielder in 2013 after spending nearly all of 2012 in center. Of course, after the team traded for Denard Span, Harper was shifted to left to accomodate the new acquisition. Anyway, in today's Spring Training opener against the Mets, Harper got a rough introduction to his new full-time position. In the bottom of the...
