MLB trade-deadline clock ticking on Mets: Sherman
NY Post
When the Mets traded for Marcus Stroman in July 2019, he had just one-plus year until free agency. That made him a strange acquisition because the Mets were five games under .500, hopelessly behind in the NL East and six back in the wild card.
There also was a good deal of industry buzz that too much was sacrificed in Anthony Kay and particularly Simeon Woods Richardson to pursue a Mets pipe dream. To date, though, the Mets have yet to be burned. Stroman actually accepted a qualifying offer to extend his stay an extra year while Kay has been ineffective in multiple major league stints and Woods Richardson has lost some velocity and pitched poorly at Double-A — albeit at age-20, so with plenty of time to right himself.
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.
