Laura Albanese Newsday: The Mets need to find the spark thatpropelled them last season. Maybe a trip to Milwaukee can help. ”The Mets, one
of the coldest teams in baseball, will visit Milwaukee, home to the hottest
team in the sport, this weekend…they can’t hit at the moment, a starter
pitching six innings is a minor miracle and even small deficits feel
insurmountable. They’ve gone 18-28 since June 13, and it’s clear they’re simply
just . . . perplexed.”
Jon Heyman NY Post Sports+: How the Mets and Yankees cansave their sinking seasons — now. “Mets: Bring in hitting help. This was
supposed to be “the best lineup in baseball,” and though it’s not that, it
should be better than this…I’d suggest hitting savant J.D. Martinez, who helped
South Florida hitting partner Vientos become a 2024 star.” (Subscription Required)
John Harper SNY.TV: 3 ways the Mets can turn their 2025 season around. John Suggests the Mets “Hire J.D. Martinez as a sounding board/troubleshooter of sorts for the Mets’ hitters… Bring back Luisangel Acuña from the minors… Get Brandon Sproat or Nolan McLean up here pronto and put Frankie Montas in the bullpen as a multi-inning reliever.”
NY Post Sports+: Jonah Tong blossoming into bona fide ace — but hisnext Mets steps remain unclear. “The right-hander with both the hair and the over-the-top delivery that reminds of Tim Lincecum leads affiliated minor league baseball in strikeouts (and not by a few), in strikeouts per nine innings (14.29), in ERA (1.58) among pitchers who have logged at least 10 starts and in opponents batting average (.141). Among minor league pitchers with at least 90 innings under their belt, his 0.19 homers surrendered per nine ranked sixth entering Thursday.” (Subscription Required)

PRESS RELEASE: NEW YORK METS TO HOST THE BEATLES NIGHT AT CITI FIELD
Mets.com
- The stock for these 30 prospects -- 1 from each team -- is on the rise For the Mets it is A.J. Ewing - "The 134th overall pick in the '23 Draft had a solid first
full season last year between the Florida Complex and Florida State Leagues but
struck out 28.5 percent of the time as he found his bearings in pro ball. That
K percentage is down to 17.7 in year two, and by putting the ball in play more,
Ewing has been able to take advantage of his plus wheels to hit .312/.413/.436
with a 153 wRC+ in 93 games between Single-A and High-A. He also looks like a
potential plus defender in center, strengthening his value as an up-the-middle
talent."
