17 hours agoWith Juan Soto ill, Mets can't find cure for sickening offense
Fever signals an immune response, and the Mets face flu symptoms while struggling to generate hard contact and baserunners.
There is no Juan Soto in MLB free agency this year. There is definitely no Shohei Ohtani. But although there might not be a player who will inspire people to track the flight paths of private jets on social media, it's an intriguing class of free agents nonetheless -- one especially deep in power hitters. Players are ranked in order of their Baseball-Reference WAR from 2025.
The Mets in their entire history have as many wins by the score of 12-7 as Nolan McLean has wins by any score in his week-old career. The franchise required 64 seasons and a leaky bullpen to post a second win of exactly this kind, while each milestone for their newest starting pitcher appears to be the briefest of stopping-off points before he accomplishes bigger and better things.
