However, Montero was done in by the long ball as the A’s launched three solo home runs by Khris Davis, Marcus Semien and Matt Chapman. Regardless, he has...

The Mets just can’t help but make an easy spare look like a 7-10 split. For the sixth time this season, the Mets won the first two games of a home series, and for the sixth time this season, the Mets failed to complete the sweep, dropping a 3-2 decision Sunday to the last-place A’s...

This time, there would be no comeback for the Mets, as the A's held them off for a 3-2 victory Sunday afternoon at Citi Field to foil the New York's attempt at a sweep.

The Mets' roster could look very different by the time they return to Queens in nine days. NEW YORK - When the Mets take the field against the Oakland A's on Sunday afternoon, it will be their final game at Citi Field before the July 31 trade deadline. And considering the Mets currently sit third in the National League East and 10 games out...

The Mets have a half a dozen guys on the disabled list, the pitching is in shambles, the infield defense is terrible and the general manager has all but admitted that half the team is available in trades. Meanwhile, the team is playing its best baseball of the season. In their last 23 games, the Mets are 14-9, including 6-3 since the All-Star break. Sandy Alderson is seemingly...

As the trade deadline approaches and the Mets continue to play around .470 baseball, it has become clear that it isn’t in the cards for New York this year. The good news is, the Mets have tradable assets that should net some decent returns, including bullpen arms Jerry Blevins, Addison Reed,  infielder Astrubal Cabrera and of course, Jay Bruce who is putting up monster numbers...

When Mets ace Noah Syndergaard reported to spring training, he looked much bigger than he had looked in his previous two years with the team. With his new muscular physique many were concerned Syndergaard would suffer an injury during the 2017 season. Syndergaard shrugged off the critics, and when he was lights out to begin the season, fans began to shrug it off as well. Then disaster...

The last time — the only other time — Wilmer Flores had clubbed a walk-off home run came on that unforgettable July 30 night two years ago against the Nationals in the wake of his tearful near-trade to the Brewers. This time, when he hit one into the first row of the lower left-field stands...

Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez break down the Mets’ 6-5 win over the Oakland Athletics.

Despite proving themselves to be the best team in the National League, the Los Angeles Dodgers are always looking for upgrades. The team has been linked primarily to starting pitchers leading up to the July 31st trade deadline.But Los Angeles is now reportedly looking into the viability of landing New York Mets closer Addison Reed. Reed, 28, is set to become a free agent following...

The Oakland Athletics are in Queens taking on the New York Mets. If Yoenis Cespedes gets his way, it will not be the last reunion with his former team.In an interview with Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, Cespedes said that he wants to finish his career with the A’s.“I wish that happens,” he said, per Slusser, referencing a conversation with another former Oakland...

In a way, Tim Tebow’s evolution as a baseball player is hard to explain. Who gets better as the competition improves? But to hear Tebow explain it, it makes sense.“I think I’m more comfortable seeing more pitches,” Tebow said, via Jon Santucci, TCPalm. “Playing baseball for longer, I think that helps. Also (hitting coach) Luis (Natera) and (manager) Chad (Kreuter), getting...

On SNY's Daily News Live, the panel discusses what they think the New York Mets can get back in a deal if they decide to move relief pitcher Addison Reed before the MLB trade deadline.

After acquiring Andrew Miller at last year’s trade deadline, the Cleveland Indians may be making a similar splash again this year.According to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports on Thursday, some believe the Indians could become interested in New York Mets outfielder Jay Bruce.The 30-year-old Bruce has had a strong 2017, hitting .266/.332/.529 with 24 home runs and 63 RBIs in 87 games...

The New York Mets on Saturday will hold Noah Syndergaard as Thor Bobblehead Night at Citi Field. The first 15,000 fans through the gates will receive the aforementioned bobblehead in a promotion fittingly sponsored by Marvel. Given the injured Mets ace’s uses the Norse god’s name as his moniker (here and here), it makes perfect sense to depict on-the-mend pitcher as Thor.It also...

The New York Mets are struggling, so Yoenis Cespedes is trying a bold new look to change their fortunes. The Mets’ official Twitter shared a photo of the star outfielder, whose hair is now a distinctly Mets-like shade of blue. Cespedes does enjoy making a statement. It would probably work better if he had longer hair, but you take what you can get. This is, perhaps, an attempt...

The New York Mets are 41-50 this season, and they’re bad in the worst possible way: with and old, uninspired, injured and underperforming roster that has fans feeling silly for believing before the season that their team could contend for the playoffs.So with that in mind, it’s hard to blame the team’s broadcasters from feeling like they’d rather be somewhere else. During...

The New York Mets (41-50, 15 games out in the NL East) very well could be sellers leading up to the July 31 MLB trade deadline. But even if that’s the case, Mets skipper Terry Collins is attempting to keep the clubhouse together by pointing out that until a deal is made, every player on the roster should be committed to the organization, saying, “You’re a New York Met until...

This Wednesday baseball slate is a pretty sturdy one, with three aces in isolation and a pair of pretty interesting secondary matchups as well. Check ’em out! Aces in Isolation RHP Carlos Carrasco (CLE) versus San Francisco RHP Matt CainCarrasco’s up-and-down stretch continued last time out, as he lasted 6.1 innings in a loss to the A’s. Carrasco fanned 10 batters, walked just...

Chris Christie’s trip to Citi Field on Wednesday included a cascade of boos after he was shown on around the stadium. During the third inning of the Mets’ game against the Cardinals, St. Louis shortstop Paul DeJong fouled a pitch from Rafael Montero towards third base that ended up in the stands. As coincidence would have it, the ball ended up in the hands of the New Jersey governor...

Governor of New Jersey Chris Christie is one of the least popular governors of all time. His approval rating is so low that, as Five Thirty Eight put it, “Chris Christie is still more popular than governors who were literally criminals, but nearly no one else.”Christie is in such “screw it” mode that he closed a beach to the public and hung out there with his family, then...

New York Mets manager Terry Collins talks to SNY's Steve Gelbs about how he evaluates young talent like shortstop prospect Amed Rosario.
