What would a #Mets off-season be if not for management indulging in yet another "high upside," "low risk high-reward" "athletic" outfielder? This guy had a 5-for-65 -- yes, you read that right -- stretch last year. Seems like he's fodder for AAA depth.

This is sad and an absolute shocker. I remember him well because of his unique role and it being deployed in the 2015 WS, much the same as how in the '70s, A's owner Charlie Finley utilized former track star Herb Washington. Gore was only 34. And NO ONE in the U.S. should die during routine surgery.

@almostamet.bsky.social Credibility counts. I'm flabbergasted that in your newsletter you posted about April '22, you wrote that the worst GM in MLB history, Brodie Van Wagenen, was with the #Mets. He absolutely was NOT. Steve Cohen -- in a Nobel Prize-worthy move-- fired his sorry ass in Nov. '20.

This is insane. Federal agents have now arrested a second journalist who covered the protest at a Minneapolis church at which an ICE director is a pastor. First, former CNN anchor Don Lemon and now, Minneapolis TV reporter Georgia Fort. Freedom of the press is being removed before our very eyes.
