Good morning, #MetsSky and fellow #Mets fans! Today’s newsletter is out! I wrote about how the Amazin’s explored adding the “most underrated hitter of the 2000s,” Magglio Ordonez. Hope you enjoy! almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/magglio-or...

Good morning #MetsSky! Today's newsletter is out. Following the 2008 season, it was clear the #Mets needed a starting pitcher. On paper, free agent Derek Lowe made sense. Of course, the Mets tried to "Lowe ball" him an offer. almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/derek-lowe...

You know what one of my favorite Halo maps is? Lockout.

Happy 11-year anniversary to the first FOIA request I ever sent.

Scrolling early today, #MetsSky? ICYMI: Orlando Hudson 'dreamed' of being on the #Mets. Here’s why that never happened. Read it ➡️ almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/orlando-hu...

Good morning #MetsSky! Did you know 2B Orlando Hudson dreamed of being on the #Mets? Unfortunately for him, that never occurred. Can you guess which 2010 Mets player was the biggest "stumbling block" for that not happening? almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/orlando-hu...

good morning www.youtube.com/watch?v=krX_...

check it out!!!! unique. fun. well-researched and well-written. everything you want in a newsletter.

If you’re on Substack and you aren’t reading Andrew’s stuff already, you really should change that. Always a fun read and a chance to learn something new about franchise history - keep up the great work king 🤝

It has been one year since I pressed send on the first newsletter for Almost A Met! What a year it has been! I’ve written some fun deep-dives, seen subscriptions grow, talked to a lot of great people, and really have had a ton of fun writing a #Mets newsletter that is *mine.*

Good morning, #MetsSky! With the #SubwaySeries starting tonight, I thought it would be fun to look at a #Mets / #Yankees “what-if” scenario. The Mets made a “last-ditch effort” to try and land Hideki Matsui. almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/mets-hidek...

Hey #MetsSky! Today’s newsletter is out! With the latest Correa injury news, I thought it would be a good time to look at the #Mets and their ill-fated contract agreement with the infielder. It’s filled with intrigue and martinis. Hope you enjoy! almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/carlos-cor...

No newsletter today (I am quite sick at the moment). However… I want to point out that my @ootpbaseball.bsky.social sim from Opening Day had the #Mets finishing April 12-19 (close to current 10-21 record) and finishing the season 94-68. 👀 almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/mets-2026-...

Yeah Melendez batting 3rd jumped out at me when I saw today's lineup. I did a double take.

Reasons to believe!

Yes, things are bleak for the Mets. But there is at least a GLIMMER of hope...

Hello #MetsSky! Today's newsletter is a little different. It's our first Almost A Met (GM) edition about Kim Ng. Let me know what you think! almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/kim-ng-met...

Narrator: They did not.

Please win @mets.com. #MetsSky

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.
