Mets are making pitchers take notice with their transformational work
NY Post
As Frankie Montas surveyed his options as a free agent, he gave his buddy and fellow free agent Sean Manaea a call.
He had questions about the Mets and Jeremy Hefner.
“How’s the pitching coach? How’s the training staff? How’s everybody?” Montas asked his former rotation mate with the A’s.
“[Manaea] had nothing but good things to say about Jeremy,” Montas said this weekend at “Amazin’ Day.”
In making an unexpected run to the NLCS last season, the Mets hope they have built a foundation for success year after year. With that foundation, they hope, comes a reputation.
In general, players want to play with teams that will pay them (which is where Steve Cohen helps); with whom they will win (last year was a good start); and with whom they will improve.

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.
