Red Sox survive travel chaos to beat Mets in late-start showdown

A grueling travel day for the Boston Red Sox—two mechanical issues with a Delta charter, a late-night hotel scramble, and a cockpit lightbulb problem—delayed their first pitch at Citi Field to 7:50 p.m. But they still rolled to a 6-2 win over the Mets, their seventh straight victory, aided by early homer support and six solid innings from Sonny Gray. The trip included a special moment when Ceddanne Rafaela was announced as an AL All-Star replacement, providing a lift amid the travel chaos.

Peralta Tests PitchCalls as Mets Pivot Toward Trade Value

Peralta Tests PitchCalls as Mets Pivot Toward Trade Value

Mets right-hander Freddy Peralta, a top trade chip, tried calling some of his own pitches with PitchCom for the first time this season in a 4 2/3-inning start against Atlanta. Despite a subpar overall line, he leaned on a broader mix (including a season-high number of sweepers) and averaged 95.1 mph on his fastball, signaling improved form that could boost his value ahead of the Aug. 3 deadline. With an $8 million salary and a strong track record, Peralta remains attractive to contenders (Cubs, Padres, Blue Jays, Rays, among others) as New York looks to sellers amid a difficult season.

Cohen backs Stearns, pledges to ride out Mets' five-year plan

New York Mets owner Steve Cohen publicly reaffirmed his support for David Stearns, saying Stearns will remain president of baseball operations for the full five-year contract despite a disastrous season that saw the team slump to 34-47 and Mendoza being fired. Cohen described Stearns as thoughtful and adaptable, emphasized a hands-off ownership approach, and indicated it’s too early to judge the plan’s overall success while also warning that changes could be on the table if performance doesn’t improve by year five. The piece notes underperforming signings and injuries as contributing factors to the Mets’ struggles.

Hill's spectacular catch lifts Phillies past Mets 2-1

Derek Hill’s game-saving catch robbed Juan Soto of a would-be two-run homer in the first inning, then he started the seventh-inning rally as the Phillies edged the Mets 2-1 in Queens. Zack Wheeler worked seven strong innings, and Philadelphia’s turnaround continues under manager Don Mattingly as Hill and Turner helped push the team toward a tighter race in the standings.

New York Mets Part Ways with Mendoza as Midseason Slump Continues

The New York Mets fired manager Carlos Mendoza at the 81-game halfway point (34-47), naming Andy Green as interim manager for the rest of 2026 after a season defined by a poor start and mounting struggles. The decision follows a franchise-worst slide since mid-2025, a 12-game April losing streak, and a tough loss to the Cubs that precipitated the move. With a high payroll and a roster overhaul now under scrutiny, the Mets may look to shake up the roster ahead of the trade deadline as they search for a path back to competitiveness.

Mets Shift Kodai Senga to Bullpen in Bid to Reboot His Season

Mets Shift Kodai Senga to Bullpen in Bid to Reboot His Season

The Mets moved right-hander Kodai Senga from the rotation to the bullpen after a dramatic downturn dating back to last year, highlighted by a lumbar injury and a rough 2026 stretch that included a 27 earned runs in 16 innings since returning. Despite a strong spring, his season has cratered with high walks, homers, and ERA spikes. The Mets will patch the rotation with Nolan McLean, Freddy Peralta, David Peterson and Sean Manaea while evaluating whether a relief role can salvage Senga’s value or lead to further roster moves.

Arm soreness shadows Braves’ opener as Strider exits in Mets loss

The Atlanta Braves lost 7-5 to the New York Mets in the season opener as Spencer Strider left early with right-arm soreness after his velocity dropped, allowing seven runs in just over three innings. JR Ritchie delivered five shutout innings in relief to stabilize the bullpen, but Atlanta’s rally fell short. The defeat extends the Braves’ slide, and Martin Perez is slated to start next game against an unspecified Mets pitcher.

Soto questions MLB’s cap plan as Mets’ massive payroll looms

MLB’s first salary-cap offer would set a $245.3 million cap and a $171.2 million floor for 2027 with a 50-50 revenue split. Juan Soto, the center of the Mets’ $765 million contract, would take up a large slice of cap space, prompting him to reject the idea and argue baseball is thriving without a cap. Mets teammates and the union oppose caps, warning it could worsen payroll disparity, while the current Mets payroll sits around $368 million and Soto accounts for about 16% of it. The debate underscores the difficulty of fitting huge preexisting contracts under a hard cap and may involve transition provisions.
