7/10/25 | Mets-Twins trade idea would bring All-Star infielder to Queens. The New York Mets could be in the market for some second base help at the trade deadline.

7/07/25 | Jeff McNeil's major adjustment boosting Mets' offense. New York Mets utility man Jeff McNeil is never going to lead the league in exit velocity or home runs.

Jeff McNeil, arms clasped behind his back, tossed his bat and shouted toward the New York Mets dugout, starting up the first base line as his go-ahead, two-run homer in the seventh inning off Luke Weaver sailed into the second deck at Citi Field. Twenty-five minutes later, the second baseman sprinted a half-dozen steps to his left, sprawled onto the outfield grass and with an outstretched glove angled toward the right-field corner snagged DJ LeMahieu's one-hopper. McNeil popped to his feet and threw to first for the second out of the ninth. “The homer was sick,” McNeil said after the Mets overcame a pair of two-run deficits to beat the New York Yankees 6-5 on Friday in the opener of this season's second Subway Series.

As the 2025 season has officially reached the halfway point, the New York Mets have relied on their depth to narrowly lead the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East.

Charles Wenzelberg/NY Post It was back in April, when the best player in the National League was Pete Alonso, when Luisangel Acuña looked like a .300 hitter, when questions persisted about a slow-starting Juan Soto and when the Mets' pitching was the envy of baseball. “We're not even close to hitting on all cylinders,” co-hitting coach Eric Chavez said then about his offense. “Right now we're still kind of feeling through some things to get to where Source: https://nypost.com/2025/06/27/sports/what-would-me... |

6/11/25 | Reese Kaplan -- Starting to Think More About Roster Changes. David Stearns is not going to have an easy time figuring out which minor league resources will be worth sacrificing in upcoming baseball trades. Yes, there are plenty of major league players who could make for presence on the trading block, but none are performing well enough for Stearns to get much in return. For example, Jeff McNeil is on a bit of a recent hitting tear (including three recent home runs). While he's never going to be a huge RBI guy, if he returns to his career average for batting and getting on base and sports the ability to play any of three outfield positions as well as second base and third base, he most definitely has value not just to the Mets but to other clubs as well.
