Mets fans, this could be the year. At least, it should be better than last year.
After finishing fourth in the National League East, the New York Mets made some moves. New agent-turned-GM Brodie Van Wagenen shored up the bullpen with two closers: Edwin Diaz and Jeurys Familia. He also signed veterans Robinson Cano and Wilson Ramos to join rookie slugger Pete Alonso in the revamped lineup. But mostly they’ll rely on starting pitching, anchored by Thor (OK, Noah Syndegaard) and the best pitcher in baseball, 2018 Cy Young award winner Jacob DeGrom, to compete in a stacked division against the Brave, Nationals and Phillies.
Cord-cutting Mets fans have a number of ways to watch New York Mets games this season, whether you’re in the New York market or an out-of-market follower of the club.

Out-of-market Mets streaming
If you’re a Mets fan living outside of the New York area, then you can’t watch the club on SNY. You can, however, stream its games live with an MLB.TV subscription.
You’ve got two options:
- Pay $119 a year (or $25 a month) to be able to watch every out-of-market game live or on-demand, and the in-market (home) team with a 90-minute delay from the end of the game.
- Pay $92 a year to watch a single, out-of-market team. In this case, your Mets and nobody else.
Both MLB.TV plans also include streams of home and away radio broadcasts. The radio broadcasts aren’t subject to the blackout rule, so you can listen to home team games live.
