Meet the Mets
Hey, remember Francisco Lindor? He’s back, in leadoff form!
While Lindor won’t officially commit to being ready and in the lineup on Opening Day
, he isn’t saying he won’t, either.On Tuesday night as Team USA goes for the gold, Nolan McLean will be on the mound.
He may not get the attention or have the pedigree of McLean, Tong, and Scott, but Zach Thornton is having himself a nice Spring Training.
The Mets made another 11 cuts to their Spring Training roster, bringing the number on the big league side
of things down to a very football-ish 53 players.
Around the National League East
Over at The Good Phight, more than half of the fans who responded think that 2026 is a season of winning or getting the heave-ho for Rob Thomson.
Is the Washington Nationals’ lack of offense this Spring just another thing to chalk up to the randomness of the month-long warm-up or an actual problem that they’ll have to face?
Around Major League Baseball
The United States took down the dominant Dominican Republic team in a 2-1 game and punched their ticked for a third consecutive trip to the World Baseball Classic finals.
Italy and Venezuela will collide tonight to determine who gains entry to the finals to battle it out with the Americans.
It seems likely that Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena will get into game action before the end of Spring Training, but nobody will know if he’s ready to play in the regular season until he tests out his finger on the field.
One out away from a perfect game, the Giants proceeded to lose the perfect game, the no-hitter, and the shutout all in a row.
They’ll still have to do some tests to make sure it isn’t anything structural, but Jose Ramirez is day-to-day for the time being with what the Guardians are describing as shoulder inflammation.
Just a week into his stint as a Texas Ranger, Andrew McCutchen is more motivated than ever before and winning people over with his performance out of the gate.
Designated by the Rangers at the start of the weekend, Alexis Diaz went unclaimed and has been assigned outright to Triple-A.
Venezuelan Francisco Cervelli will be managing for Team Italy against Team Venezuela. Weird.
Yesterday at Amazin’ Avenue
