Adcock, 28, has a fairly limited big league track record. He has thrown a combined 23 innings over the three most recent seasons with a 5.48 earned run average. His 20.4% strikeout rate in that sample is a bit below par but he has only walked 4.3% of opponents. His minor league résumé provides a larger batch of data to look at. He has shown some flashes down on the farm but hasn't been having a great season.
People got to step up. People got to do their job. We just got to get Hels right, manager Carlos Mendoza said. He has too good of stuff for them to take some really good swings on fastballs, really good takes on sliders. So we have to look back and see what we're missing, because for teams to have comfortable at-bats like that, something's going on here and we have to figure it out.
Cuomo, a co-defendant with the state, opposed Commisso's request to discontinue the lawsuit. Relatedly, he sought to make public text messages produced under discovery he claims refute Commisso's allegations. Cuomo attorney Rita Glavin had told a judge that potentially ending the case is a matter of "enormous public interest" as Cuomo runs for mayor. Hartman allowed Commisso to drop the civil suit and denied Cuomo's motion on the texts.
Yesterday, star catcher and AL MVP candidate Cal Raleigh enjoyed a multi-homer game where he crushed his 48th and 49th homers of the season. That pair of dingers saw him tie and then claim sole possession of the record for most home runs hit by a catcher in a single season, eclipsing the efforts of Salvador Perez back in 2021. With that record now claimed, the wait begins for Raleigh to establish himself as the first 50-homer catcher in MLB history.
The Rangers signed Jackson to a one-year, $1.5MM free agent deal back in February, plus he added another $450K to his salary by reaching innings-based incentives thresholds. Jackson was designated for assignment and then released in late July, then quickly joined the Tigers on another guaranteed deal. This tenure in Motown lasted just three appearances and 4 1/3 innings before Jackson was DFA'ed again, and he elected to become a free agent rather than accept an outright assignment to the Tigers' Triple-A affiliate.
It was only a matter of hours before Sánchez found a new landing spot. The Mets placed Francisco Alvarez on the injured list this week. He's dealing with a thumb injury that'll require surgery at some point, though he and the team are holding out hope that can be delayed until the offseason. That leaves them with a catching duo of Luis Torrens and Hayden Senger.
Wright mentioned, 'The biggest compliment, honor that I can receive is when the true heroes of the community come up to me and want to shake my hand.'
