Of note from David Stearns at the GM meetings, it’s too early to read the markets for Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz. He believes that Alonso can improve defensively. Also said the same about Juan Soto’s outfield defense.

Cleveland’s MLB Field Coordinator and director of defense, base running, and game strategy.
CLE was a top-4 defensive unit by FRV, top-10 by DRS. The Guards also had MLB’s second-best win percentage in close games (.595) - compare that to Mets’ 2025 mark of .487 (19th)
Sounds like a good hire 👌

A little league team that appears to be called the Mets is on the field at Marlins Park. The kids were absolutely geeked to be on the field, one of them turned to me and asked, “is this real? Am I really on a Major League Baseball field?”
These kids are fans for life.

Brooks Raley was told by other teams that he was too much of a risk to sign as a 37-year-old coming off Tommy John last winter. He knew he would prove them wrong when he re-signed with the Mets.
He just struck out the side to hold the lead in a crucial game.

The reports from Kodai Senga's live BP session in Port St. Lucie were just "OK," according to Carlos Mendoza. His velocity was down around about 93 MPH, and he was bothered by the hot weather in Florida.
He's staying in Florida for now, but the team will be there Thursday night anyway.
