It won’t be easy for Mets to snap out of this long funk
NY Post
The worst team in baseball since Friday the 13th of June caught a rare break when Tuesday night’s game versus the consistently feisty and perennially overachieving Brewers was postponed. The surprise cancellation spared the sagging Mets another potential loss, and for 18 more hours halted the worst kind of negative momentum an alleged playoff team could possibly have.
The second straight day off might also help the team from Queens forget some of what’s gone wrong the past 19 days, when they mysteriously transformed from close to unbeatable to baseball’s most beatable team.
No one could have foreseen such a sudden slump. It’s not just one thing, it’s everything.
Everyone but the $765 million man Juan Soto, who is back to being himself, is struggling at bat.

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
