Carlos Beltrán says that he had conversations with a few mambers of the Mets' organization about their manager position after Carlos Mendoza's departure:

"I just didn't feel it was the right thing for me to do."

The Mets are 79-112 (.414) record since June 13, 2025. 3rd worst in MLB during span, per an SNY graphic.

Jim Duquette tweet:

Update : The Mets have been telling teams that, unlike the ‘23 deadline where they took on over $85 million to move the Scherzer and Verlander contracts for better prospects, they have no desire to pay down contracts to that extreme at this year’s deadline.

Former Mets RP Adam Ottavino reveals the Mets used an AI program to pick their pitches 😳

"The Mets were the main team that got cracked down on it. They had an AI program helping them pick pitches but MLB got wind of it and shut that down."

The air quality index is 246!

Jim Duquette tweet:

On Lindor, I was told that the Mets would listen on him in a deal. But two teams that are “buyers” told me it’s a difficult trade to consider because of the length of contract, his lmtd NTC and that he has not played well so far this season. So the Mets would have to take back a considerable amount of money. Another team called him “immovable right now “

But as the second half begins Thursday night, it seems the time has come: A rival executive said the Mets informed their team that the sale is on, and that everyone but young stars Carson Benge, AJ Ewing, Christian Scott, Nolan McLean and the obvious, Juan Soto, is available. That doesn’t mean everyone will go. But it means the Mets will listen on just about everyone, which is in keeping with what people familiar with their thinking have signaled for weeks.

Mets Weather tweeted:

Much like the rest of the Northeast and Midwest, air quality is poor in Philadelphia due to smoke from Canadian wildfires. Pretty good chance tonight's game gets postponed, but we will have to wait and see how MLB and the Phillies handle this

This one is super interesting. When healthy, Wiggins arguably has the best fastball in the class, averaging 98.7 mph with late hop and carry. He has a 70-grade slider to go along with it, but he didn’t pitch all year following internal brace surgery. He did come back to throw some bullpens, including at the MLB Draft Combine. His brother, Jaxon, is a top pitching prospect in the Cubs organization.

The Mets by far have the biggest negative difference between there Opening Day playoff odds and their current playoff odds.

Red Sox are awaiting transportation to Citi Field, so the expectation is they'll still play at 7:15 p.m. ET.

Sonny Gray did not fly ahead, so he's not here yet, for those wondering.

Max Goodman tweet:

Braves fans have been booing Juan Soto loudly all series. There was a huge group down the LF line in the upper deck with tarps off chirping at him tonight.

Looks like he blew them a kiss while rounding second after his go-ahead moonshot in the ninth.

Screengrab of Soto indeed chef kissing the tarps off people as he rounds second.
