What is the Mets’ plan? Inside the mind of David Stearns

Some 8½ years after his big break, though, there are times when Stearns’ youth seems to bubble closer to the surface than it ever has before. Why? He’s excited. “I had a very good idea of what I was stepping into,” Stearns said, speaking on a sleepy March day in the dugout of the Mets’ […]

Inside Corey Seager’s battle for the perfect MLB swing

THE BASEBALL SWING is a puzzle, an ever-changing riddle. Even for the best hitters in the world, the fragility of the swing is palpable. Every minuscule detail matters. Batters are not machines, built to replicate the same action countless times before they are replaced. They are human beings aiming to be their most machine-like and […]

Mets avoid arbitration with Jeurys Familia, Matt Harvey, 4 others

Familia will make $7,425,000, according to multiple reports, up from $4.1 million last season. Starters Matt Harvey and Jacob deGrom, who both had season-ending surgery, also settled on one-year contracts and avoided arbitration. Harvey got a raise to $5,125,000 from $4,325,000 and deGrom’s salary increased to $4.05 million from $607,000, according to reports. In addition, […]

Travis d’Arnaud to concussion DL

Juan Centeno has been promoted from Triple-A Las Vegas to take d’Arnaud’s spot. Centeno caught right-hander Jacob deGrom‘s major league debut on Thursday night against the New York Yankees at Citi Field. Centeno and Anthony Recker will form the Mets’ catching duo for the next week. Because d’Arnaud already has sat out Wednesday’s game, he […]

Yankees’ Gerrit Cole a contender for top fantasy pitcher in 2020

Two thoughts instinctually come to fantasy managers’ minds whenever the Yankees ink a pitcher, and they can be somewhat contradictory: First is the effect of the boost in run support inflating the pitcher’s wins, and second — and much more important — is the adverse impact of their homer-happy ballpark on the pitcher’s numbers. To […]

Thirty years later, 2016 Mets have some of that ’86 swagger

They boast a star-studded, young rotation, with Matt Harvey, Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard and Steven Matz, and ageless Bartolo Colon is a capable fill-in to round out the group until Zack Wheeler completes his rehab from Tommy John surgery. Meanwhile, with the unexpected re-signing of Yoenis Cespedes, the Mets have a legitimate lineup that should […]

Buy or sell? Strasburg’s injury leaves Nats scrambling at deadline

Back in February, manager Dave Martinez brought camels to spring training, a living and breathing metaphor intended to help the Washington Nationals get over the playoff hump. Five months later, Stephen Strasburg‘s injury woes could be the knockout punch that kiboshes the team’s postseason chances and maybe — just maybe — morphs them from buyers […]

‘Twas a year to forget in N.Y. sports

Looking back, the photo of those two legends could represent bookends for Big Apple misery. Namath debuted in 1965, one of the worst years in New York sports history; Jeter, of course, closed out his career this year. Five decades ago, Namath’s emergence provided a glimpse of a sunrise in a gloomy sports scene, just […]

Max Scherzer feels ahead of schedule in return to Rangers

As a result, the three-time Cy Young Award winner has felt ahead of schedule for a return since the moment he got home following surgery. Nearly four months later, Scherzer still feels that way, as does manager Bruce Bochy. “I really feel like we’re kind of turning the corner here in terms of rehab,” Scherzer […]
