Ten years after helping the Mets make their last World Series appearance, the 52-year-old says 'I might still have something left in the tank'

It also happens to be true. Although it was never close -- or even close to close -- to becoming a reality, the Pete-for-Pete discussion is a fun one to chat about. The magnitude of both players, who will be National League teammates at next week’s All-Star Game, is what makes it so.

The New York Mets could look to upgrade their bullpen by swinging a shocking trade with the Texas Rangers to acquire lefty Hoby Milner.

Still, because of MLB’s policy that every team must be represented, a player like Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers gets in instead of Soto. While Stowers is having a good season, batting .279 with an .859 OPS, including 16 home runs and 48 RBIs, he trails Soto, virtually, in every category except batting average — Soto’s batting .264.

BALTIMORE — Jordan Westburg homered and drove in three runs as the Baltimore Orioles defeated the New York Mets 7-3 on Thursday to sweep a doubleheader.

The New York Mets have teamed up with the popular streetwear brand Born X Raised to create this unique MLB apparel collection.

It turns out baseball announcing can be a dangerous profession. During the Mets’ second game of Thursday’s double-header against the Orioles at Camden Yards, broadcaster Keith Hernandez was nearly drilled by a foul ball off the bat of Baltimore outfielder Cedric Mullins.

The downside of spending hundreds of millions in free agency each offseason is that it tends to leave teams devoid of top Draft picks. So it is with the Mets, who (for the third year in a row) had their first-round selection docked 10 spots.

Between the two, the Mets have a player in Senga whose 1.47 ERA going into Friday was the lowest of any starter with a minimum of 60 innings pitched, and a lefty in Manaea that emerged as the de facto ace during last year's postseason push.
