Clase has now been put on non-disciplinary administrative leave in connection with an MLB gambling investigation. So Duran (or Ryan Helsley) it is?

Frank Francisco: only 73 career saves (and one dumb HBP of Jayson Werth).

In honor of our old pal* Billy W. being inducted into the HOF this weekend, we have here the list (if you can fill it in) of MLB players who (1) have at least 100 career saves and (2) played for the Mets.

The others are Trevor Hoffman, and, umm, Lee Smith?

Interesting theory! Two potential counterpoints: there was already (limited) replay review in place by this point, on potential home runs (fair/foul and homer/not). The Armando Galarraga shoulda-been-a-perfect game had occurred the year earlier. And like this one was a potentially game-ending bad call. In fairness, it was not a game-deciding call as this one was.

Ok. Let’s pivot and offer those prospects to Minnesota for Jhoan Duran instead.

Soto (does he have a “G. Soto” on his uniform?) is a good start for bullpen upgrades.

According to The Athletic’s “Big Board” of potentially available players: -Boston outfielders Jarren Duran and Wilyer Abreu P -Tampa 2B Brandon Lowe -Cleveland OF Steven Kwan -Baltimore 1B/DH Ryan O’Hearn Link here: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6507691/2025/07/23/mlb-trade-deadline-big-board-top-50/ My preference remains Suarez. I’d also call the Twins about Byron Buxton (not on The Athletic’s list). But there are other possibilities too.

On the offensive side, there are no concerns about playing time at all, since the DH slot is open for the taking. Winker hasn’t been able to stay on the field and Marte, while a nice guy who hits a lot of singles, has no power. They need to get the best possible hitter they can and they can figure it out afterwards. If that’s Suarez (my preference), play him every day at either DH or 3B, and fill in around him with the versatility the team has. The Mets are 8th in the NL (14th in MLB) in offense, behind all the teams they’re likely to need to beat to win the WS (LA, CHC, MIL, PHI, DET, TOR, NYY). They need more offense anywhere they can get it.

What should the Mets be offering to Cleveland for Emmanuel Clase? This is the guy the Mets should target: not only because he’s the best possible upgrade to the ‘pen, but also because he’s under contract for 2026, plus $10M club options for each of 2027 and 2028. Not only does he offer the best opportunity among potential reliever upgrades to add to the Mets win total this year, when Edwin declines his 26/27 options at the end of the year, the Mets have a potential replacement already available if they don’t want to meet Edwin’s price.

On November 15, Citi Field is hosting an “all star” exhibition of Dominican vs Puerto Rican players. Seems like a fun idea. But then I keep reading: “Rosters for the teams will be announced in the coming months, but former All-Star Robinson Cano is scheduled to play his last professional game on American soil. To honor Cano, every player on the Dominican team will wear his iconic No. 24 jersey.” http://www.mlb.com/mers/tickets/specials/dr-pr

If all it takes is Baty you do that deal in a second. (both Baty and Vientos have 4 years of team control after 2025).

The Mets have a .635 OPS at third base this year, ranking 26th of 30 teams.

Is this guy (part of) the solution to the Mets’ offensive woes? He’s in the final year of his contract with the Diamondbacks, at $15M for the year. He’s a good candidate for a qualifying offer (which he’d likely reject) if he remained with Arizona, so it’s not as if they’d get totally nothing by keeping him. He turned 34 a couple days ago and has been very durable (150 games in 2022, 162 in 2023, 158 last year, 98 of 100 this year). Oh, and he mashes homers, currently leading MLB with 35. (He averaged 28.5 from 2021-2024).

Indeed. I saw that the “true” cost to the Phillies is closer to $12M because of the luxury tax thresholds - so probably would be similar for the Mets. But even at $12M this seems like it would have been a good option, assuming the Mets were interested (I would surely think so) and that Robertson was (who knows?)

I’m sure there’s all sorts of considerations we’re not privy to, but that layout looks incredibly stupid, with home plate nowhere near any of the curves of the track, and thus basically everyone is a mile from the action.

Signed with Philly for $5.5M. (It’s a one-year $16M deal, prorated for the partial season remaining).

Alvarez being recalled says Mike Puma of the Post.
