Here ya go...

"This approach avoids run differential as a tiebreaker for a few key reasons:

• Preventing teams from intentionally running up the score:

With run differential, stronger teams might pile on runs against weaker opponents to boost their margin, which can lead to unsportsmanlike conduct or escalate tensions.

The runs-allowed focus rewards run prevention and discourages blowouts, keeping games more competitive and respectful.

• Accounting for the mercy rule:

WBC games end early if a team leads by 15 runs after five innings or 10 after seven, limiting opportunities to inflate scores.

Run differential could unfairly penalize teams that trigger the mercy rule without allowing them to maximize their advantage, while runs allowed normalizes for actual defensive play time.

• Historical precedent from past incidents:

In the 2013 WBC, a game between Canada and Mexico devolved into a bench-clearing brawl after Canada kept scoring in a 9-3 game to improve their run differential for tiebreaker purposes, resulting in ejections and suspensions.

This prompted a shift away from differential to emphasize defense and reduce such motivations.

This system is standard in many international baseball tournaments and aligns with the WBC’s goal of fair, high-stakes play without encouraging excessive offense.

Exciting!

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Within the last week, the New York Mets have added the frontline starter they needed, the big bat they needed and the center fielder they needed.

Offseasons are long. A slow November and December does not preclude a monster January. And that's exactly what the Mets unleashed.

Full trade, per ESPN sources:

Mets receive: CF Luis Robert Jr.

White Sox receive: IF Luisangel Acuña and RHP Truman Pauley

WHAT? This is sad. Mets are being frugal now? Make it make sense! #Mets #LGM #LFGM #baseball #MLB 💙🧡

[SNY Mets @SNY_Mets]

The Mets' offer to Edwin Díaz was for three years and $66M with "modest deferrals," per @Joelsherman1

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Reliever Devin Williams and the New York Mets are in agreement on a three-year contract that guarantees more than $50 million, sources tell ESPN.

First on the agreement was @WillSammon.

Wow, did not think this one would happen. Nimmo is my son's favorite and one of my favorite Mets player. I understand the move from a baseball perspective, but this one hit a little harder. #Mets #LGM #LFGM #baseball #MLB

[SNY Mets @SNY_Mets]

.@martinonyc confirms that the Mets are trading Brandon Nimmo to the Rangers for Marcus Semien in a one-for-one deal.

Nimmo has a full no-trade clause and must approve the deal for it to go through.

@Citizen_baker May she rest in peace. 💔

[Mets Matters @Mets_Matters]

Well, that was predictable. Unfortunately the only thing this team did consistently was fail to beat bad teams. Doesn't hurt any less. #Mets #LGM #LFGM #baseball #MLB

If the Mets make the playoffs today I’ll buy everyone that likes/retweet this post a bobblehead of their choice
