Cooperstown shifts: nine-vote Hall of Fame ballot signals a new era

On his 2026 Hall of Fame ballot, the author explains nine votes (returnees Carlos Beltrán, Andruw Jones, Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley, David Wright, Dustin Pedroia, Andy Pettitte; newcomers Félix Hernández, Torii Hunter) and why he passed on Hamels, Abreu, Buehrle, and Francisco Rodríguez. He argues voting is shifting from counting numbers to star power and peak greatness that changed teams, citing Jones, Utley, Pedroia, Rollins and Wright as examples. He defends Beltrán despite sign-stealing controversy, praises Pettitte’s durability and postseason impact, and uses Hunter vs. Jones and Hernández vs. Hunter comparisons to illustrate evolving criteria. He also notes Posey on deck and the ongoing redefinition of a Hall of Famer.

Assessing the Mets' Prospects and Struggles: A Recap.

New York Mets general manager Billy Eppler has said that prospect Mark Vientos is on the team's radar, with special assistant Carlos Beltran scheduled to watch him play at Triple-A Syracuse this weekend. Vientos has an OPS of 1.148 with nine doubles and nine homers in 27 games with Syracuse. However, Eppler added that they don't want to promote Vientos or anyone else and then not have him play regularly. The team is also hopeful that Brooks Raley will be able to come off the IL when he's eligible on May 13.
