The Mets have expressed interest in lefties Alex Vesia and Tim Hill in their wide-ranging search for bullpen help, league sources said.
In the case of Vesia, more than half the league has registered interest in him. https://t.co/uSYBH8jzp2
Mets have checked in with Brooks Raley, according to a person familiar with the situation. Other teams interested, but makes sense to explore for New York given they need to rebuild and his success there.
Aaron Glenn said when you look at the 7 losses, 5 of them were playoff caliber teams and said that 5 of their losses were close.
Said it’s his responsibility to do whatever it takes to turn the corner.
JUST IN: Former NFL HC Rex Ryan, turned himself in to Nashville police Wednesday morning after allegedly striking two pedestrians with his pickup truck last week.
Police say the pedestrians were crossing Broadway with a walk signal when Ryan turned right, running over both victims’ feet and striking one in the leg.
Witnesses say Ryan continued driving before stopping at a red light, where the victims confronted him. Ryan allegedly got out, argued with them, then drove away.
Ryan faces six charges, including two counts each of leaving the scene, failing to provide information/render aid, and disobeying a traffic signal.
His bond was set at $6,000. He's due in court December 18.
Glenn says the Jets are "on the cusp." On why they were relatively quiet at the trade deadline:
"Listen, we're not going to hide from the fact that we're 2-7. We own that, but, man, we're still working our asses off to make sure we fix that. We feel like we like the players that we have in the building to be able to help us do that.
"When you look at the seven losses, and this is just the facts -- five of the teams (are) playoff-caliber teams. I think five of them were one-score games. I think two (of the losses were) three points, one five-point and two seven points."
The Jets have played the 23rd hardest schedule, per ESPN analytics. #Jets
Cleaning up what I posted earlier, after listening to the tape, Stearns said Marcus Semien would have “an opportunity to play a lot of second base.” Not necessarily that he is the starter heading to spring training. Mea culpa.
