Much more than a throw-in, Myers is already impressing Mets' biggest star PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Juan Soto was wandering through the Mets’ clubhouse on Wednesday when he strolled past the locker of Tobias Myers, who happened to be standing there. About 20 minutes earlier, ...

Red Sox take blame for jersey spacing issue, call Fanatics β€˜outstanding partner’ In a series of statements Wednesday, the Red Sox explained who was at fault for their jerseys not looking right.

Speaking of this issue, is it just me or does the "New York" on #Mets great road jerseys look a bit too small and does "Mets" on home whites and blacks look too big and the number too small? Red Sox take blame for jersey spacing issue. www.nytimes.com/athletic/705...

You or I might be a better add than Melendez. Maybe other teams were put off by Tauchman’s age. Is he better than Marte defensively?

Don't know much about him. He certainly played a lot last year, though, and put up decent numbers, to be cut loose.

Mets’ new pitching coach on plans for Sean Manaea, Kodai Senga and beyond Justin Willard offers an overriding philosophy for a staff in need of a tune-up: "I am a firm believer in throwing nasty stuff in the zone."

Our Minor League affiliate clubs must need some catching depth.

😁 No, I get it now. Mendoza first brought that term up a couple of weeks ago. Think he just meant that the clubhouse last year felt less joyful and more businesslike. Another player, I forget who, said the team put more pressure on itself down the stretch to win, rather than just go out and play.

Maybe that's why I pay it no mind, because Bill Pecota was such a dud with the Mets.

And DΓ­az has that silly, Little League-looking one-digit number as a pitcher, too! Can't wait 'til he pitches against us with runners on base and we steal bases on him like it's going out of style!

a man is sitting in the back seat of a car . ALT: a man is sitting in the back seat of a car .

Absolutely NOT. He can’t field, his hitting has dropped off, his feuding with managers has made him a malcontent, and he admitted to bringing alcohol into the dugout during a game. None of that fits the new clubhouse culture #Mets are trying to create.

He doesn’t need an interpreter, either! He’s more English proficient than more than a few native speakers I’ve heard.

If you live outside NY-NJ-CT tri-state area, MLB At-Bat subscription with Mets as your chosen team works fine, as you also get SNY programming 24/7, and radio feed for any and all devices.
