Gotta love it when a player #Mets have liberated from the Empire claps back at its fans! #Mets fans on Insta are LOVING what our new reliever Devin Williams just posted about the Empire's fan base:

So...the Rays have signed (briefly) former #Mets CF Cedric Mullins. Hope it works out in Tampa for him and he can rejuvenate his career.

I've now unlocked the secret of spurring the #Mets into action: leaving my phone charging in a room away from where I am. Last time I did that, we made the Nimmo-for-Semien deal. Tonight, it's the Devin Williams free agent signing.😉

@mets.com Please tell us that 2026 will be the year the club FINALLY does the right thing -- especially in the 40th anniversary of the '86 World Series Champion team -- and officially retires the late, great Gary Carter's No. 8. #Mets #GaryCarter #RetireCartersNunber8

Actually he didn't take his own life. He was murdered by his girlfriend, who then took her own life.

For any #Mets fans interested in video of the play that sparked the latest drama between Francisco Lindor and Jeff McNeil last June 20, if you have an Instagram account, check out Jomboymedia's latest post.

Would a kind #Mets fan out there PLEASE unplug the paywall on this story and post it? And I KNEW I wasn't crazy in thinking that Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor didn't get along well last year. You could sense that in watching on TV.

Looking forward to seeing these kinds of plays in '26 from Marcus Semien in a #Mets uniform. We sorely needed plays like this in '25. youtu.be/MoGfvJwVg9o?...

Good piece here by @nydailynews.com #Mets beat writer @abbeymastracco.bsky.social on new bench coach Kai Correa -- the pride of Hilo, HI! 🤙🏿-- and his working with infielders. I still hope Mets trade Vientos and upgrade 3B, though. www.nydailynews.com/2025/11/27/m...
