It was time to move David Peterson, but he was better than most people realize.
In 42 starts from May 2024 through Aug 2025, he had a 3.29 ERA in 268 IP - which puts him about 25th-35th in MLB over that span (on par with Max Fried, Chris Sanchez, Logan Gilbert). No doubt he will benefit from improved infield defense in Chicago. #RunPrevention
Zach Short is a career .172 hitter who hit .167/.527 in 23 games w Detroit this season. He has 15 career HRs.
In related news, Wilmer Flores is slashing .311/.891 in the Mexican league right now. He had 16 HRs w SF last season.

The Mets have claimed infielder Zack Short off waivers from the Tigers.
Short has played for five MLB teams and appeared in 10 games for the Mets in 2024.
@Swirl213 Did they need to be three different west coast trips all in the first month? How about playing those same games, if you must, but by compiling them all into one (or two) trips instead? And you don’t think it’s bizarre that they didn’t play a divisional opponent until May 18???
Idea: If the Mets are so desperate to stockpile aging righty hitters, how about old friend Wilmer Flores? Won’t be worse than Ibáñez. And gives us a beloved, familiar face to root for.

Ron Darling’s insights are great. He pointed out that the prior pitch was tight inside, and McLean offered Buxton a “my bad”. Ron said the apology tipped Buxton off that the next pitch wouldn’t be inside - and then he homered on an outside pitch.
Keep in mind it is a cold Tuesday night, but this is what the crowd looks like 20 minutes before game time (with the team‘s best pitcher taking the mound)
Mets fans;
The players are already expecting to get booed when they return on Tuesday and Lindor himself said it’s going to be “loud.”
Let’s Flip the energy!
Instead of being on the wrong side of loud, let’s make Citi Field roar for the right reasons and cheer this team on.
The boos have been nonstop, yet they haven’t delivered a single win. Maybe it’s karma.
Time to change the energy we’re putting out into the universe and see if we can help right the ship. I’m committing right now. I’ll be at the ballpark on Tuesday.
It’s tough being a Mets fan right now, we all feel it. But this is exactly when we need to come together. 🫶🏽 #LGM
🚨IDEA for fans coming to Tuesday’s game: Obviously this season has been a disaster. But…
Imagine how much a Standing O would change the vibes & flip the script. This has worked before. What do you say, @just_mets@The7Line@Metsmerized@TheAppleNYM@PSLToFlushing@HowieRose?
