About to finish @gregprince.bsky.social's book at probably the best possible spot. (It's absolutely incredible, Greg! I can't tell you how many snippets I've shared with family and friends).

Good morning, #MetsSky! Today's newsletter is about how Corey Kluber was almost a part of Brodie Van Wagenen's wild #Mets offseason in 2018. Check it out! almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/corey-klub...

Sorry @foiaball.com. I'm pretty sure this was my fault yesterday evening. (We had a fun meeting of the newsletter minds / catching up right after this was being sent out) 😬

The 2026 Mets have lived 10% of their regular-season life. They remain as blank in identity as they do on the scoreboard. www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2026/04/13/b...

Anyone at today's game? Let's say hi.

#MetsSky - I'm heading to my first game of the season tomorrow. Any food recommendations? I have my usual go-to but I'm wondering if I should branch out a bit. 👀

ICYMI: Yesterday I wrote about how the #Mets ‘clandestinely’ set up a meeting free agent SS Jhonny Peralta before getting ‘sticker shock’ at his price tag. Check it out! almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/mets-jhonn... #MetsSky #LGM

Happy Friday, #MetsSky! Today's newsletter is out! I took a look at the #Mets having a secret meeting with SS Jhonny Peralta before getting spooked at his price tag. Hope you enjoy! almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/mets-jhonn...

Jorge Polanco's replacement.

I'm mostly not a fan of any City Connect jerseys, but this Brewers grill / baseball patch goes hard.

I always like to remind myself that Francisco Álvarez is only 24 and he made his MLB debut when he was only 20 (far earlier than a lot of catching prospects). Yes, they’ll be growing pains but nights like last night are reasons why I continue to stay excited about El Troll. #LGM #MetsSky

ICYMI: This week's newsletter is about the #Mets and Norihiro Nakamura being very close to agreeing to a deal. Then it collapsed. open.substack.com/pub/almostam...

Good morning #MetsSky! Today's newsletter is about the... unique way the #Mets deal with Japanese slugger Norihiro Nakamura fell through in late 2002. Check it out below! almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/mets-norih...

Current weekend reading plans. Been looking forward to this book by @gittlitz.bsky.social for a very long time and pre-ordered it the second I saw it was announced. #LGM #MetsSky #Mets

ICYMI: I simulated the #Mets season in @ootpbaseball.bsky.social - there were early struggles, epic comebacks, and heartbreaking loses. Read on to see what happened! Part 1: almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/mets-2026-... Part 2: almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/mets-2026-...

Good idea. I know everyone wanted him to be hitting coach, but maybe this gives him some latitude. Seems like a no brainer.

Good morning #MetsSky! Part 2 of my special edition series of newsletters where I simulated the 2026 Mets season in OOTP is out! And, yes, we play ‘meaningful games in September’ 😏 almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/mets-2026-...

It's obviously just part of one game but you know David Stearns is smirking right now. #MetsSky #LGM #Mets

Today's OOTP newsletter is already wrong... And I'm happy about it. #LGM open.substack.com/pub/almostam...

Alvy is in the record books. That was the first successful ABS challenge in MLB history.

Good job Buster #oldtakesimmediatelyexposed

I did not have the #Mets scoring 5 runs in the first inning with Paul Skenes pitching on my bingo card. Let's gooooo.

What the fuck? I just assumed NetFlix would drop the whole MLB season at once so we could binge it.

Happy Opening Day #MetsSky! 💙🧡 Truly the best day of the year. To celebrate, I thought it would be fun to do a two-part special edition newsletter. I simulated the 2026 #Mets season in OOTP. Here’s what happened.

Hello #MetsSky! Today's newsletter is more recent, since you all seemed to enjoy a recent "almost" a few weeks ago. I looked back on a potential Starling Marte for Hunter Harvey swap. Check it out! almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/hunter-har...

My friend was the officiant at my wedding and ended the ceremony by saying "put it in the books!"

In high school I would listen to Opening Day on my walkman and hide my headphones with a hoodie. Howie is the best in the business.

Guess I'm going to be listening to the radio a lot this year. I'm happy for him retiring but this is the end of an amazing era. He will be missed in the booth.

Happy weekend #MetsSky! The #WBC is in full swing, so I thought I'd focus on that in today's newsletter and how Team USA's current manager Mark DeRosa interviewed for the #Mets manager job. Hope you enjoy! almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/mets-manag...

Hey #MetsSky! With the WBC underway (I’ve been really enjoying it!) I thought I’d tie it to the #Mets today. Team USA’s manager Mark DeRosa had a somewhat hush-hush managerial interview for the team with Sandy Alderson. Read more about it! almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/mets-manag...

In this week's FOIAball, we've got all the members of Congress who watched games from university presidents' luxury boxes. At a time when they are openly debating the sports' future, we thought it was only right to name names. www.foiaball.com/p/congress-c...

I am starting a 1986 Mets rewatch newsletter ... soon! I have 9 articles pre-written already. I'll be sharing one per week, maybe more every so often My #1 rule is that it will be fun. I don't have time for unfun projects It will also be free. Sign up! 1986-mets-rewatch.beehiiv.com

Good morning #MetsSky! Today's newsletter is out. Do you remember when the #Mets were targeting RP Brian Fuentes? I almost forgot. Check it out here! almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/mets-brian...

Yeah, this is nice. #MetsSky #Mets #LGM

Happy #Mets first Spring Training game day, #MetsSky. 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...

Hello #MetsSky! 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...

The whole “there will never be a captain” thing is *not* a big deal btw. Super normal to suggest that a locker room should determine its own leader. I’m not understanding why some of you are so bothered by that statement. Two teams in MLB have captains. Neither has won a WS in over a decade.

Ok, a Bobby Valentine disguise giveaway is hilarious. Good job #Mets marketing department. 💯

Morning #MetsSky! 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-holli...

This week's FOIAball is all about money, power, and influence. www.foiaball.com/p/head-coach...

@chelseajanes.bsky.social welcome to #MetsSky

I've done a little work towards a 1986 Mets newsletter that would be focused on rewatching bits and pieces of games and doing some reminiscing about the things that got me so hooked on baseball It would be 100% free of charge. Gauging interest: If you're interested, give a 'like' or reply

ICYMI: This week's newsletter looked at a forgotten part of the #Mets 2015 trade deadline. almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/mets-gerar... #MetsSky #LGM

Good morning #MetsSky! 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-gerar...

Get that Sluethy sticker, folks
