Who should be untouchable for the Mets at the trade deadline? Just 4 guys - Soto, McLean, Benge, and Ewing. Watch the short. Drop a sub for all my shorts: https://t.co/rvs1fdjk4P
I found this Andy Green answer really telling. Since taking over as manager, he’s generally emphasized the positives, even after tough losses. But in his player development role, he also firmly believes players need to be challenged and pushed to reach their full potential. For him to speak this way after five shutout innings from Christian Scott tells you exactly how high the Mets believe Scott’s ceiling is.

Steve Cohen told fans on social media Sunday that he will be “speaking soon,” as frustration continues to mount around the Mets’ disastrous season.
It came during a flurry of posts on X in the wake of manager Carlos Mendoza’s firing Friday and the team’s continued slide, including another lost series to the Phillies.
“Steve what’s the plan moving forward,” a fan asked. “Do you plan on speaking? I know many, many fans want to hear you speak. This season has been soul crushing.”
Cohen did not give a timeline for when he would address fans or the team’s direction.
He also responded to online discussion about a viral video involving a fan and a “Fire Stearns” sign, defending the ballpark staff’s handling of the situation.
“I’m cool with fans expressing themselves and carrying signs,” Cohen said. “I’m not cool when fans around him are complaining that he was ruining their day at the ballpark. He was belligerent and was asked to be more considerate to paying customer around him. Unfortunately, he refused.”
When another fan questioned the explanation, Cohen replied again:
“Other than from my head of ballpark operations. Why let the facts get in the way of a narrative,” Cohen wrote.
The Mets have now dropped their fourth straight series and sit 35–49, 15 games out in the NL East and 9.5 back of a wild-card spot despite one of baseball’s highest payrolls.
