Meet the Mets
Mike Tauchman’s MRI revealed a torn meniscus that will require surgery to repair and keep him sidelined for the foreseeable future.
For at least the first two go-arounds, the Mets will run with a five-man rotation where Sean Manaea will be the odd man out, piggybacking when needed.
In his time as a New York Met, Francisco Lindor takes pride in the fact that you can break his bones and still not keep him off of the field for very long, if at all.
MLB dot com’s Anthony DiComo took to the Mets subreddit for an Ask Me Anything prior to the 2026 season’s kickoff.
Craig Kimbrel, for the moment at least, will not join Jose Valverde, Jason Isringhausen 2.0, David Robertson, and countless other elder closers in the realm of “Hey, He Was A Met?”
Around the National League East
Cristopher Sanchez and the Phillies ripped up his old extension from last season and agreed to a new one, adding up to $103M in new money over six years.
The Nationals acquired infielder Jorbit Vivas from the Yankees in exchange for minor league pitcher Sean Paul Liñan.
Just as 2025 ended, Marlins All Star Kyle Stowers will start 2026 on the injured list, this time with a hamstring strain suffered earlier in camp.
Around Major League Baseball
Despite Team USA’s loss in the World Baseball Classic, the tournament was a smashing success in America and beyond.
As the Yankees open the 2026 season with a four-man rotation for the first couple of turns, former Rookie of the Year Luis Gil finds himself as the man on the outside looking in.
In one of their final roster-cutting moves before the season begins, the Dodgers demoted Hyeseong Kim to AAA and decided to keep Alex Freeland on the roster.
Reportedly, the Orioles offered infielder Gunnar Henderson an extension at some point last Spring, but he declined and it’s unknown if talks have continued since then.
This Spring was the first time ABS has been used in active major league competition and it’s safe to say that the players have learned some lessons during this time.
Old Friend Michael Conforto officially made the Chicago Cubs Opening Day roster after Seiya Suzuki’s knee injury was deemed severe enough to rule him out for the season’s first games.
