New York Mets

Former New York City mayor Eric Adams snapped as he was harassed on a Dallas jet bridge on Tuesday, telling a heckler, Go f*ck yourself in a video that has since gone viral. The confrontation, filmed by another passenger and originally posted on Reddit, shows Adams trading barbs with a masked flyer as they disembark a flight from New York to Texas.

A Brooklyn power-broker threw another wrench into a multimillion-dollar court case now on its fifth judge - by personally phoning the latest jurist, the judge revealed Tuesday. Former borough Democratic Party Chair Frank Seddio - who has been ripped in a federal lawsuit tied to a state case involving more than $2 million in missing investor money - recently called the judge handling the state case, Francios Rivera, on his personal cell phone, the jurist said in court. An exasperated Rivera said Seddio called him to tell him a lawyer who used to work for the judge as a legal secretary was being made an acting supreme court judge.

Azocar had a brief stint on Atlanta's MLB roster this year. He signed a big league deal on May 30 and spent a little over two weeks on Brian Snitker's bench. He was limited to two appearances, both as a late-game substitute, and flew out in his only at-bat. The Venezuela native also got into 12 games with the Mets earlier in the year. He made five starts and went 5-18 (all singles) with a pair of walks and a stolen base.

The Mets had been too troubled by injury and addiction and natural attrition to come close to repeating in the years after '86. Getting to watch that utterly dominant and worryingly disinhibited team so early in my life as a fan was disorienting and set some very strange expectations; watching it fall apart, little by little and then all the way down to stinking rubble, was my first and most painful lesson in what being a fan is mostly like.

These statements are not indicative of who I am. As the mother of Jewish children, I feel a profound sense of sadness and remorse at the harm these words have caused,

Well Miami Marlins fans, are you of the glass half-full or glass half-empty persuasion? Or to put it more simply, just how much do you hate the New York Mets. For there's no question that the suffering that started with Miami eliminating them from the playoffs in the final weekend of the season has continued into the offseason for fans of the Metropolitans. Pete Alonso? Gone. Edwin Diaz? Not just gone, but a bleeping Dodger.

Not too concerned just yet. There's a lot of winter left, and the Mets are going to make moves. They have the money and the prospects to add elite talent. It's clear that Stearns believes the Mets' core wasn't good enough after such a disappointing season. Losing Díaz and Alonso -- on top of trading Brandon Nimmo -- is certainly tough to swallow for Mets fans because those three players were so beloved. The Mets aren't going to stand pat.

For the past several cycles, despite our population's size, economic and cultural importance, and deep diversity, New York's role in picking our nation's presidential nominees has been relegated to the sidelines by a primary date that arrives too late to matter, said Skoufis, whose district is based in Orange County in the northern suburbs. With this bill, our votes will count.

Amongst the Mets' lengthy to-do list this winter is to address a starting rotation that needs a significant overhaul after last season's collapse. So anything linking former Houston Astros ace and free agent Framber Valdez to Queens would be understandable. According to MLB insider Hector Gomez, the Mets are trying to get a six-year, $200 million deal over the finish line for the veteran right-hander, who is coming off a down year in which he went 13-11 with a 3.66 ERA.

1962 - The Milwaukee Braves trade slugger Joe Adcock and pitcher Jack Curtis to the Cleveland Indians for pitcher Frank Funk and outfielders Don Dillard and Ty Cline.

That means significant interest in two of the top talents in Kyle Tucker and Cody Bellinger, both of whom will cost a pretty penny. Bellinger, who spent last season with the Yankees, is projected to receive a shorter-term deal of five to six years, which will come in at a value north of $140 million. Tucker, meanwhile, could secure a decade-long deal worth over $400 million.

But there's another level the Blue Jays 'pen can reach and Toronto seems ready to dish out some cash to make it happen. They have previously been linked to Edwin Diaz, while they were also in talks with Raisel Iglesias before he re-signed with the Braves. Now, a Blue Jays beat reporter says Toronto is interested in a reliever who was one of their targets at the trade deadline this past season.

Will anyone speak up for Jewish New Yorkers against brazen antisemitism and hatred in our midst? Where is the anger and revulsion over the rhetoric used in Wednesday night's demonstration outside the historic Park East Synagogue on the Upper East Side, where pro-Palestine protesters converged to rally against a presentation from Nefesh B'Nefesh, an organization that assists with Jewish immigration to Israel.

A more consistently robust, perhaps less finicky team Hall of Fame - the kind of institution that steps to the forefront with some regularity before mysteriously fading from view between releasing its intermittent puffs of orange and blue smoke - would have already included the three members the Mets recently announced as their 2026 inductees.
