We are mortified by the decision to fire our brave Patriot leader, Alex Cora. America continues to slide into a state of disarray due to the demagoguery of tyrants like Craig Breslow and John Henry. More here: https://t.co/qALXpbpjYF

Alonso had indicated he would only consider participating in the HR derby if he was selected to the All-Star game. Asked Sunday if he will be in the derby, Alonso said: "You guys will see."

And D-Rob, well, they desperately need back-end relief. Robertson was well-liked last year, and the Mets would be open to bringing him back, as they’d be open to bringing on any reliever who could take some of the burden off Díaz/Núñez/Garrett.

SOURCES: Mets exploring possibility of reunion with some, or all, of David Robertson, Max Scherzer, and Jacob deGrom. Reasoning is clear🧵

[The Horizontal @TheHorizontalV]

On deGrom, well, the upside is just too high to pass up. Worst case, he gets hurt and you’re on the hook for the money. Best case, you have an injury-prone ace for three and a half years. Not so bad.

There were some slight delays to the process, but this will still be happening. He’s always been the guy, and Bill O’Brien will be the next coach of Boston College, according to sources.
