Why Francisco Lindor Will Be Better for the Mets Soon

One of the early stories this season for the New York Mets has been the play of superstar shortstop Francisco Lindor. The 30-year-old started the season going hitless in seven of his first eight games, and has spent most of the season with a batting average well below the Mendoza line.

Tonkin joins his third organization of the young season.

The Yankees have claimed right-handed relief pitcher Michael Tonkin off waivers from the Mets, marking the second time that New York’s National League franchise has lost Tonkin after designating him for assignment during the 2024 season.

Tonkin broke camp with the Mets but found himself in a couple of less-than-ideal situations, as Carlos Mendoza twice deployed him in extra innings. Neither...

It’s been discussed on the team’s broadcasts, broken down in Allison McCague’s excellent weekly pitcher performance meters, and garnered the attention of several other outlets.

Mets relievers have combined for a 2.95 ERA that...
