Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium is set to trade gorillas with Boston’s Franklin Park Zoo.
Frankie, Pittsburgh’s 7-year-old male western lowland gorilla, will head to Boston, and in exchange, Boston will send 33-year-old Little Joe the silverback @TribLIVE 🦍

If the Mets hope to save their season, and they attempt to do so at "any cost," they'll have to get creative
Could one option be targeting a veteran around the sport who looks uncomfortable with their current team? What about Trevor Story with the Red Sox?
SNY's Chelsea Janes explores the hypothetical situation:
"Trevor Story is struggling, even as he is vocally frustrated with Red Sox management. Could the Mets pair a deal for him and his contract while grabbing an outfielder from Boston’s longstanding logjam?
...
If that sounds like throwing good money after bad, it might be. But if the whole season is going to be bad money anyway, might as well see if a fresh start for a player with a strong track record can help revive him and the Mets at once."
@MBoldiga85292 Roster/on-field personnel…yeah. Coaches…no. Craig likely goes in the offseason. Firing Cora & Co was the attempt to light a fire and tell the players this is unacceptable. If they’re still bad in a month they’ll probably eye being deadline sellers rather than more changes
The Mets & Phillies are both 10 games below .500
To grab a WC spot, let's say you need 86 wins
There are 134 remaining & they need to win 77 of those
That's a .580 winning %...which is that of a 94 win baseball team...
Do you think either team has that in them at this point?
