That bone-chilling Saturday afternoon the Mets ALMOST signed "the greatest player in the world"...and the frigid Saturday night he ascended to the Angels. @andrewwyrich.bsky.social captures the pure, uncut angst in his essential @almostamet.bsky.social newsletter. I adored being a part of this.
Hey #MetsSky! Today's newsletter is out - and it's a fun one! I spoke with the (very awesome) @gregprince.bsky.social about the #Mets almost signing Vladimir Guerrero in 2004. It felt like a distinct possibility there for a second. Check it out!

Congrats to Pat Murphy on winning his second Manager of the Year award in a row! In case you missed it, I wrote about Murphy being a "mystery" candidate in a #Mets managerial search a few years back.

Good morning, #MetsSky! The 2022 #Mets are a team defined by “what-ifs.” Like what if they went harder at the trade deadline? Would DH Nelson Cruz have moved the needle? I take a look at that in today's newsletter. Check it out here ➡️ almostametnewsletter.substack.com/p/the-mets-t...

Truly devastating. UniWatch was one of the greats. I loved it so much.
This one's a gut punch.
I can honestly say there would be no Beauty of a Game without UW. Kudos to Paul and Phil for what they created and have done over the years. To say they will be sorely missed is an understatement.
