Baseball America Which MLB Teams Are The Best And Worst At Drafting Pitchers? Mets came in as one of the worst - "The Mets have spent a lot of draft capital on pitchers since 2012, but they don’t have much to show for it. The Mets are 27th in innings pitched (2,468), 25th in RA/9 (5.05) and 29th in FIP (4.73). Paul Sewald and David Peterson are the best pitchers the Mets have produced over that stretch."

Tom Verducci Sports Illustrated.com: What to Expect From the Mets’ Brewer-fication Under David Stearns. "Stearns is signing placeholders to keep the Mets somewhat competitive while ramping up the behind-the-scenes processes. And for him, that means a huge emphasis on pitching and defense. His Brewers teams from 2016 to ’22 never ranked higher than 17th in Opening Day payroll but ranked eighth in wins, seventh in ERA and seventh in strikeouts."

This hasn't been an easy year for 1986 Met Ed Hearn. He underwent his fourth kidney transplant, which was a success. But in recent months, his cancer reappeared. He and his wife have a great way to keep fans updated on his health. https://t.co/kTShQoWl6b

2005 |
Carlos Beltran (.267, 38, 104) becomes the tenth $100-million
player in major league history when the 27-year-old native of Puerto Rico
agrees to a seven-year deal for $119 million with the Mets. The five-tool
outfielder, who had his market value increase with his postseason performance
with the Astros, goes to New York after Houston refuses to include a no-trade
clause in their very generous offer to keep him on the club. |
