I've been mulling this newsletter idea for a long time. Given my current circumstances, I felt like why not launch it now. Sub here: almostametnewsletter.substack.com/about #LGM

It's here! Just in time for the Subway Series, here's our very first "Almost A Met": Alfonso Soriano. He was almost among the group of players who played for both the #Mets and #Yankees. Check out the full post below ⬇️ #LGM

We've got something super fun for tomorrow's newsletter! We spoke with Tim Ryder (of The Apple) about one of his favorite "Almost A Met" players—Barry Larkin! If you want to get this in your inbox tomorrow morning, subscribe now! almostametnewsletter.substack.com

Truly can't thank Tim Ryder enough for such a fun chat.

It's been a minute, so I thought I'd reintroduce myself: I'm Andrew, and each week I write the "Almost A Met" newsletter, where I research players who were *almost* #Mets. I'll post a few examples below, but please sub!

if you haven’t checked out Andrew’s newsletter yet, highly recommend. really fun.

I had a great time chatting with James Schiano for this newsletter! Thanks so much for taking the time to chat, James! #LGM #Mets

Today's newsletter is out. In honor of David Wright's number retirement this weekend, I thought I'd look at how he was almost traded. A scary thought indeed. almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/david-wright… #Mets #LGM

It’s been 7 months since I started this newsletter. (If you are new here, I write about players and coaches who were *almost* New York #Mets). Over those months, I've written weekly posts on star players and niche players and even spoke to Mets community members about them! 🧵
