Today's newsletter is an Almost A Met (Manager) edition. I look into why a certain segment of #Mets fans always want Wally Backman to manage the team. Check it out here: almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/wally-backma…

one of the more unique wrinkles of being a Mets fan was experiencing the joy and awe of watching John’s cinematic influences coming out in game broadcasts. his brilliance at his craft will be missed greatly.

Hope everyone is safe and warm on this snowy Sunday. If you are looking for a bit of a long read before you shovel show, maybe check out the history of Wally Backman and his interviews to manage the #Mets? almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/wally-backma…

Yeah the white piping on the black jerseys is so much better... its not even close. I also love the home jersey with "New York" they wore against the Yanks, would love to see those come back.

I wasn’t planning on this, but I now root for a team that features Bo Bichette, Luis Robert, Jr., Freddy Peralta, and, if his minor league deal amounts to anything, Craig Kimbrel. Fine. Great. Maybe wonderful. But I wasn’t planning on it. faithandfearinflushing.com/2026/01/28/its…

In today's newsletter I'm taking a look at the blockbuster trade that fizzled out that would have sent Eric Hosmer (and more) to the #Mets. In hindsight, is the proposed deal something they should have done? (...Kind of?) almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/mets-eric-ho…

Feels like a good day to remind folks that there are plenty of people working in sports journalism putting out good content, so you don't need to consume AI-produced slop.

Today's newsletter focuses on the 2015 trade deadline — a #Mets period we are all very familiar with. But there's something of a forgotten rumor: The team's reported pursuit of OF Gerardo Parra. Take a look! almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/mets-gerardo…

The journalism industry has been in a spiral for years, but it recently has felt so much worse. I'm fairly new to sports journalism (tho I did cover the Mets 2015 postseason!) and started this newsletter after a layoff. But I am excited by what I've seen from independent creators

Today’s newsletter is out! One former #Mets front office executive said the team was “going to sign” either Matt Holliday or Jason Bay. They chose Bay. We all know how that turned out. Check it out here: almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/matt-hollida…

Today's newsletter is out! I looked at how the #Mets really wanted to acquire Sammy Sosa (twice). Hope you enjoy! almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/mets-sammy-s…

I do the same - gotta run out and get the preview magazines every year. Unfortunately, there are less and less of them each season.

Happy #Mets first Spring Training game day! I'm excited to watch some baseball (especially as a snowstorm looms). If you wanna read more Mets content before the game, perhaps you missed my latest newsletter about Sammy Sosa and the Mets? almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/mets-sammy-s…
