Almost A Met Newsletter

Meet the Mets' New Submariner One of my favorite hurlers is finally on my team.

There's a reason Tyler Rogers cost the Mets so much: he's just that good.

Finally got a moment to write about one of my favorite pitchers in all of baseball, who also happens to now play for my favorite team. New on Piazza Party today 🍎

Who was 'Almost A Met' at the 2025 trade deadline? A special edition newsletter for the trade deadline.

$3 million. Too much for the Wilpons. _SIGH_ 😩

Ichiro was the Mets 'legend who got away' Almost A Met: Ichiro Suzuki

Got a fun edition of Almost A Met today! I looked at how Ichiro was the Mets “legend who got away.” Were the Wilpons the reason he wasn’t inducted into the Hall of Fame with a #Mets cap last weekend? Maybe.

Cedric Mullins is a solid pickup for the #Mets. Not as good defensively as Taylor, but should give us more offense. Prospects they gave up are are lottery tickets. This is what a team going for it does. No issues. #LGM #MetsSky

Definitely depends on the price for all of them IMO. But Kwan would be a difference maker for sure. I'm worried the Phillies are gonna grab him.

The more I think about the more I'm intrigued by Luis Robert Jr. I think a change of scenery would do wonders for him.

However, Kwan is right there also.

Mets bullpen is awesome now. Went from a perceived liability at the beginning of the year to one of the best. 🔥

It’s interesting to find out that relievers are worth A LOT considering they are not paid a lot.

I wouldn't be shocked. He looks real good.

Also things to consider re the Rogers trade:

1) Butto has no options left
2) Gilbert wasn't acquired by Stearns / Benge is probably better / maybe Jett Williams plays CF?
3) Tidwell wasn't acquired by Stearns / At least 3-4 prospects are better (Tong, McLean, Sproat etc.)

At first I was kinda shocked at the price for Rogers. However, having some time to think about it, the trade feels like "quantity over quality" in terms of prospects. The relief market prices are clearly steep. But everyone we gave up has flaws / is blocked in some way. It's all-in kinda move. #Mets

Can't wait for this. David has a knack for finding stories like this and is one of the best public records reporters I know. This newsletter is gonna be 🔥

So stoked for this. @davidcovucci.bsky.social is the best at public records.

Today's newsletter is out! We deep dive into how Barry Zito was *almost* a #Mets starting pitcher. Was it a blessing in disguise that he didn't sign with the team? almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/mets-were-...

Hey #MetsSky who is one player you'd like to see the Mets acquire at the trade deadline?

I'll start: David Bednar. Would love to see some help in the backend of the bullpen.

I'd love if Pablo became the #Mets Grimace this year. Imagine hearing his walk up song at a game?

If they play like they did last night, I don't care if they wear them the rest of the season 😂

I'll be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the City Connects, but the proof is here. Praise Grimace 🙏

Last week’s post about David Wright almost being traded by the #Mets became our most read post since we’ve launched! I can’t thank everyone enough for all the support! I've loved writing it! #LGM #MetsSky
