Continue reading...The first half of the Mets' 2025 season is in the books. New York lost Sunday's finale at the Kansas City Royals, 3-2, after a ninth-inning comeback fell short and the home team walked it off. The Mets enter the 2025 MLB All-Star break with a series win, however, after Friday's 8-3 comeback and Saturday's 3-1 triumph.

After Tuesday's All-Star Game, the second half of the Mets' season starts Friday at 7:10 p.m. on SNY with New York's three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds at Citi Field.
Another day, another home run for Francisco Alvarez.
The Mets' young catcher continued to hit the ball hard at Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday with three extra-base hits as he makes the case to rejoin the big league club after the All-Star Break.
Alvarez socked a home run for the third straight game, giving him six for the month of July, after he smacked two on Saturday afternoon.
In Alvarez's first at-bat on the afternoon with two down in the bottom of the first, he got a 2-2 curveball over the middle of the plate from Andrew Painter (the Phillies' No. 1 prospect and No. 9 in baseball per MLB Pipeline) and smacked it – 108.2 mph off the bat – into the left-center gap for a double.
With a runner on first and nobody out in the fourth, Alvarez was again in a 2-2 count against Paitner. This time, the 22-year-old right-hander went with a fastball, but the 98 mph offering at the top of the zone was clobbered for a 402-foot homer to center (109.6 mph).
In his final time up in a driving rain, Alvarez worked a count full against righty Devin Sweet and got a 77 mph changeup over the plate and roped it 100.6 mph for a double to left.
He came around to score on Joey Meneses' double to right before the umpires halted play. The game would end there with Alvarez going 3-for-3 with eight total bases, two RBI, and two runs scored.
In the 16 games since he was sent down in late June, the 23-year-old has 16 hits in 57 at-bats (.281) with three doubles, eight home runs, 18 RBI for a 1.114 OPS.

Speaking before the Mets took on the Royals in Kansas City, manager Carlos Mendoza said he's been getting good reports on the young catcher, praising his work ethic and how positive he has been since arriving in Syracuse.
"Willingness to listen to the feedback in some of the things, where it is defensively or offensively," Mendoza said, adding that he's speaking with the Triple-A manager Dick Scott and the minor league coordinators, "and everything has been phenomenal."
"He's doing everything we're asking him to do," the skipper continued. "He continues to put himself in a position like, 'hey, I'm here.'"
Mendoza, who said he's been watching all of Alvarez's at-bats, said the Mets "want him to do damage."
"Be ready for the fastball, make some good swing decisions, and when he's getting pitches to hit, not missing them. And that's what we're seeing," he said. "We're seeing him pull the ball, we're seeing him go the other way, we're seeing him go dead center. And that's a sign of a good hitter when he's feeling and going well.
"It's not necessary that you have to pull the ball or you have to go the other way. No, you hit the ball where it's pitched."
Mendoza said that when Alvarez is at his best he's capable of doing all that. "Watching the films, he's driving the ball to all fields," he added.
On the defensive side of things, the manager said there has been "a lot of improvement, as well."
"The receiving, the blocking, we know the throwing has been there," he said. "Again, a lot of good things happening from Alvy."
When asked if Alvarez could be back right after the break, when the Mets open up a three-game set with the Cincinnati Reds on Friday at Citi Field, Mendoza said he would have to talk with president of baseball operations David Stearns.

It’s difficult to talk about the Nashville Predators’ 2024-25 season without re-hashing the disappointments that plagued the team from start to finished.
What began as a season of high hopes and expectations quickly faded to a 30-44-8 record and 68-point seventh-place finish in the Central Division.
While this off-season has seen the additions of promising prospects in Brady Martin (fifth overall) and Ryker Lee (26th overall) in the 2025 NHL Draft, along with veteran blueliners Nick Perbix and Nicolas Hague, it certainly didn’t match the splash of last summer’s acquisitions of Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Marchessault and Brady Skjei.
As the Predators prepare for the 2025-26 season, there are plenty of burning questions facing them. Here are five.
There’s nowhere to go but up. The Predators finished 31st in total goals (212), 31st in shooting percentage (4.24) and 30th in goal differential (-62), just to name a few.
The previous season, the Predators scored 266 goals (10th overall), finishing fourth in the Central before losing in six games to Vancouver in the first round of the playoffs. On paper, they were projected to be even better in 2024-25, only to fall way short of that mark.
Stamkos tallied 27 goals in 82 games this past season, 13 fewer than in 2023-24, when he had 40 in 79 games with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Marchessault’s goal production dropped from 42 over 82 regular-season games in 2023-24 with the Vegas Golden Knights to 21 over 78 contests this past season.
There were other factors that contributed to the Predators’ offensive struggles than the two star veterans. But as the 2025-26 season unfolds, success will depend on their production.
It’s difficult to fathom that Stamkos, 35, and Marchessault, 34, both mysteriously aged so significantly over a season. The only way they will prove doubters wrong is to get some semblance of their old form back. If that happens, the rest of the offensive problems should take care of themselves.
On the flip side, Nashville’s defense finished 27th in goals against with 274. Quite a drop from the 248 (13th) the previous year.
Predators general manager Barry Trotz pledged to go younger and bigger on defense. True to his word, he traded for Vegas Golden Knights blueliner Nicolas Hague June 29. The Predators sent defenseman Jeremy Lauzon and center Colton Sissons to Vegas. Hague then inked a four-year contract extension.
Trotz also signed defenseman Nick Perbix to a two-year, $5.50 million contract on the first day of free agency.
Hague mainly played with Zach Whitecloud on the Golden Knights’ third pairing last season, scoring 12 points in 68 games. As a 6-foot-6, 245-pound left-shot defender, he will add much-needed size and physicality to the Predators back end. At 26, he also gives the team more youth on the blueline.
Perbix scored 19 points in 74 games with the Lightning last season. He’ll also add size at 6-foot-4, 205 pounds.
Perbix provides the Predators with a right-shot option on the blueline, and could be an ideal third pairing with Hague. His +8 was higher than any Nashville player last season.
Great defense may win championships, but so does great goaltending.
Last season, Saros went 20-31-6 in 58 games with a 2.98 goals-against average and an .896 save percentage.
In 2023-24, Saros posted a 35-24-5 mark in 64 regular-season games with a 2.86 GAA and .906 SP. In six post-season games that year, he was 2-4 with a 2.02 GAA and .900 SP.
Saros, who signed an eight-year, $61.92 million contract last summer, has appeared in 128 games over the past two seasons, counting the playoffs in 2023-24. His drop-off in performance could be due to wear and tear, but it’s unlikely his workload will change drastically next season.
Perhaps a longer off-season will recharge Saros. The Predators are certainly counting on it.
While talk of winning a Stanley Cup has lessened considerably since last season, getting back to the post-season is not out of the realm of possibility.
At his introductory press conference earlier this week, Hague recalled the disappointment Vegas felt in 2022 when they missed making the playoffs by just three points.
The following season, the Golden Knights won the 2023 Stanley Cup.
"We were very hungry and felt like we had something to prove that next year," Hague said.
That hunger, coupled with the presence of previous Stanley Cup champions Stamkos, Marchessault and Hague, could be just what the Predators need to get back to the post-season.
Is Andrew Brunette On The Hot Seat?
Trotz told reporters back in May that Andrew Brunette would be retained as head coach for next season.
"(Brunette) is a good young coach,” Trotz said. “He had a tough situation this year. But like a good young player, you have to stick with a good young coach."
Such votes of confidence have often been the kiss of death for a coach’s job security. Another slow start by the Predators could lead to major changes, and it’s not far-fetched to think that Brunette, and even Trotz, for that matter, could be on the receiving end of those changes.
The Vancouver Canucks announced they have traded 2025 Calder Cup MVP goaltender Arturs Silovs to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for forward Chase Stillman and a 2027 fourth round pick.
Silovs had a 14-5-2 record with a .908 SP in 21 appearances with the Abbotsford Canucks and a 2-6-1 record with a .861 SP with the Vancouver Canucks in the 2024-25 regular season before turning it on in the playoffs.
The 24-year-old had a dominant playoff run finishing with a 16-7 record, .931 SP, 2.01 GAA, and five shutouts, three of which came in series clinching games. His performance helped Abbotsford win their first Calder Cup in franchise history and earned Silovs the 2025 Jack A. Butterfield Trophy as Playoff MVP.
Originally a sixth round pick of the Canucks in 2019, Silovs has a 59-35-13 record with a .906 SP in 110 career AHL appearances and an 8-8-2 record with an .880 SP in 19 career NHL regular season appearances.
The Riga, Lat., native led his country to a bronze medal at the 2024 World Championship, earning tournament MVP and Best Goaltenders honors.
The Penguins have acquired goaltender Arturs Silovs from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for forward Chase Stillman and a 2027 fourth-round pick.

Stillman recorded nine points in 46 games with the Utica Comets and three points in 19 games with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins last season.
A first round pick of the New Jersey Devils in 2021, Stillman has 36 points in 119 career AHL games, he has yet to make his NHL debut.
Prior to this deal the Canucks had eight goaltenders under contract in the organization after re-signing Nikita Tolopilo, this move allows Silovs the opportunity to find regular playing time in the NHL.
The Canucks have now lost Silovs, Sammy Blais, and Phil Di Giuseppe from their championship winning team.
With this acquisition the Penguins also have a logjam in net and may be forced to make another move.

The Vancouver Canucks have cleared up some room in their goaltender department by trading Arturs Silovs to the Pittsburgh Penguins. In return, the Canucks receive Chase Stillman and a fourth-round pick in the 2027 draft.
With this trade, Canucks GM Patrik Allvin clears up a logjam in their goaltending depth. They have Thatcher Demko and Kevin Lankinen under contract for at least the next four seasons. In addition, Lankinen has a full no-move clause for the next two years, and Demko has one for three years beginning after next season.
Vancouver drafted Silovs in the sixth round of the 2019 draft. Since then, the Latvian goaltender has played 19 regular-season contests. In that span, he registered an 8-8-2 record across parts of three NHL campaigns.
Silovs has been a force for the AHL’s Abbotsford Canucks, playing 109 games for them over the last four years. Furthermore, the 24-year-old won a Calder Cup with Abbotsford last season, recording a 2.01 goals-against average and a .931 save percentage in 24 post-season appearances.
“We would like (to) thank Arturs for everything he has done for the hockey club, including helping Abbotsford win the Calder Cup,” Allvin said in a statement. “We wanted to give him an opportunity elsewhere as we feel we are very well positioned in goal at the NHL, AHL and developmental level.”
Silovs made a name for himself in the 2023-24 playoffs, where he stepped up to be the Canucks’ No. 1 goaltender. He helped Vancouver close out the Nashville Predators in the first round, including a shutout in Game 6’s series-clinching win.
Now, Silovs will likely be battling with netminder Joel Blomqvist to earn some NHL starts for the Penguins next season. In addition to Blomqvist and Silovs, Tristan Jarry will be looking to bounce back between the pipes after a relatively disappointing season last year.
Silovs is entering the final year of a two-year contract carrying a $850,000 cap hit. He is a pending RFA who is eligible for salary arbitration at the end of the 2025-26 season.

Sanchez pitches a gem to send Phillies to All-Star break on top of NL East originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
SAN DIEGO — Phillies pitcher Christopher Sanchez going out and pitching a gem against the San Diego Padres was about as surprising as the weather being 72 and sunny at Petco Park to begin the game. Both are so expected and neither failed in producing as Sanchez kept his magical season rolling with 7.1 strong innings of work in a 2-1, series finale win for the Phillies.
Sanchez has now allowed just 14 earned runs over his past 10 starts, amounting to 65.2 innings for a 1.92 ERA during that time. He finishes the pre All-Star break at 8-2 with a 2.50 ERA.
While Major League Baseball disrespected Sanchez with an All-Star snub, the Padres showed the lefthander the ultimate respect in the first inning when after Fernando Tatis Jr. led off with a single to right, they had Luis Arraez bunt Tatis Jr. over to second. That’s saying something, as Arraez is a lifetime .318 hitter. Sanchez did struggle through the inning with a pair of walks but got out of the jam by striking out Jose Iglesias with a nasty changeup on his 19th pitch of the frame.
“All the experience that we’ve gotten and how we’re working out and the preparation we do before games I think is what’s put us in this spot,” said Sanchez. “We’ve been able to perform better in those spots, too. Staying healthy, having those numbers and most important is helping the team win. That’s the most important thing right now.”
A microcosm of the game came about in the eighth inning with the score tied, 1-1. The Phillies sent up their two, three and four hitters (Trea Turner, Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos) against Padres’ left handed reliever, and All-Star, Adrian Morejon. The Padres sent their same part of the lineup against the Phils in the bottom of the inning.
After Turner lined out to center, Harper doubled down the leftfield line. David Morgan replaced Morejon and Castellanos struck out on a 3-2 pitch way out of the strike zone. J.T. Realmuto then laced a double to left-center to knock in Harper and take a 2-1 lead.
Sanchez returned in the eighth to face Luis Arraez, whom he got on a liner to first to end his day. Orion Kerkering then came in and allowed a single to Manny Machado, threw a wild pitch to allow him to second before walking Xander Bogaerts. Kerkering recovered nicely by getting both Jackson Merrill and Jose Iglesias to fly out to center.
It was a very small battle among many of late for the Phillies, who struggled mightily in times just like that one, particularly on this six-game road trip. But the Phillies won it and it helped them finish the road trip with their second win in six games, putting them a half-game ahead of the Mets in the East.
“In the last at-bats for both those guys (Machado and Bogaerts) it looked like they were seeing him pretty good,” said Thomson of removing Sanchez after 86 pitches. “I just decided to go to Kerk.
“I’m just so proud of (Sanchez) from where he started and where he’s at right now. Not just stuff, but command, poise and composure. He gets through the first inning there. When we first had him he’s not getting through that first inning, it might affect the rest of his innings. Now he’s learned to slow the game down, able to handle adversity, keep grinding and keep pitching.”
Catcher J.T. Realmuto played a huge part in the team climbing to 55-41 on the season. In the bottom of the seventh he threw an absolute dart to Trea Turner to get Tatis Jr. on a steal attempt to end the inning. Then in the eighth, his double scored Harper from second for the game-winning run. Realmuto finished the day 2-for-4 and is now 11 for his last 25 at the plate.
“I thought I had a chance at him,” Realmuto downplayed his throw. “I knew it would take a quick throw.”
It did and it was. As for his turnaround at the plate, it’s not all that complicated.
“Just trying to get good pitches and put the barrel on the ball,” he said. “Simplify my approach and just do less really. That’s what it comes down to.”
As the music blared in the clubhouse and families waited outside of it so that this mini vacation can begin for them, Thomson had just one rule for his club. “I just think everybody needs a break right now,” he said. “I just think we’ve been grinding. There haven’t been many games where you felt really comfortable. Everything’s been a close game, whether we’re down, we’re up. I think everybody just needs a little break. The only thing I tell them is to move around a little bit. Pitchers play catch, some of the guys I know are going to do bullpens. Just move around a little bit. Just don’t lay around for four days and get stiff.”
Red Sox select Oklahoma pitcher with No. 15 pick in MLB Draft originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The Boston Red Sox added a promising pitching prospect to their pipeline with their first-round pick in the 2025 MLB Draft.
With the 15th overall pick, the Red Sox selected Oklahoma right-hander Kyson Witherspoon.
“Kyson is a guy we valued highly entering the draft, and we believe he is one of the top college arms in the class,” Red Sox director of amateur scouting Devin Pearson said in a statement. “We think he fits in nicely with our development strengths and has the right makeup to pitch at Fenway park. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome him to Red Sox Nation.”
Witherspoon, 20, was ranked seventh on Baseball America’s draft board and 10th on MLB Pipeline’s board. The 6-foot-2, 205-pounder reaches 99 mph with his fastball and also boasts three above-average secondary pitches: a slider, cutter, and curveball:
Last season for the Sooners, Witherspoon posted a 10-4 record with a 2.65 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, 124 strikeouts, and 23 walks in 16 starts (95 innings). He is the first pitcher selected by the Red Sox in the first round since Tanner Houck (2017).
Boston selected another college pitcher, Tennessee righty Marcus Phillips, with its No. 33 pick. The club has two more picks on Day 1 of the draft: Nos. 75 and 87.
LAS VEGAS — In his second game in Las Vegas, Cooper Flagg showed he was too good for Summer League, dropping 31.
No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg dropped 31 points... and was a HIGHLIGHT REEL in his 2nd game of Vegas action ️ pic.twitter.com/wafUeM1lxx
— NBA (@NBA) July 12, 2025
The Mavericks agree and are going to shut Flagg down for the remainder of Summer League, reports Marc Stein.
This isn't a surprise, top picks who perform well (or, sometimes even when they don't) only tend to play a couple of Summer League games. For teams, the risk of injury to their new multi-million-dollar investment outweighs what they might learn in what can be a chaotic, relatively unstructured game. Expect a few more of these announcements.
Flagg struggled with his shot in his opener against the Lakers, shooting 5-of-21. That's the concern heading into the season for him, the consistency of his ability to create space and knock down jumpers against NBA defenders. He looked better against the Nets, despite being hounded by a quality defender in Carter Bryant, and finished the game with 31 points on 10-of-21 shooting and 13 trips to the free throw line.
Flagg got better game-to-game, and that's what the Mavericks wanted to see. And they have seen enough.
The Florida Panthers second straight summer with the Stanley Cup has officially begun.
It was exactly one year ago when we were treated to an incredible two months of hometown visits, parades, parties, golf trips, fishing journeys and more as the Panthers players, coaches, executives and other team members spent their special days with the Stanley Cup.
Now, starting on Sunday, those awesome stories will start coming fast and furious once again.
The first Panthers players to have his day with the cup this year was forward A.J. Greer.
It makes sense, as the Cup was just engraved with all the names of the Panthers, a process that took place in Quebec.
That’s the same province where Greer’s hometown of Joliette is located.
According to NHL.com, that’s where a parade was held to honor Greer, and thousands of people were in attendance.
Greer also set up an opportunity for fans to take photographs with the Stanley Cup in exchange for a donation the charity Clemente House, which is a non-profit that benefits families with disabilities.
Additionally, NHL.com also reported that Greer is hosing three days of youth hockey clinics that cost kids only $25 to attend, with all proceeds benefitting Maison Oxygene de Quebec, which helps “make a difference for fathers and their children” by offering “accommodation, accompaniment and community support,” according to the charity’s website.
Greer said the camps sold out in 15 minutes, per the story.

The Los Angeles Kings haven't been overly active recently, but their division rivals, the Vancouver Canucks, made a surprising trade, moving out young goaltender Arturs Silovs to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Chase Stillman and a 2027 fourth-round pick.
Silovs, who is 24 years old, played 10 games with the Canucks last season, posting a 3.65 goals-against-average (GAA) and a .861 save percentage (SV%). He won a championship with the Abbotsford Canucks in the American Hockey League (AHL) last season as well, also winning playoff MVP.
The Canucks are looking to be a competitor in the Pacific Division next season, so they're staying active on the trade front in hopes of climbing into a playoff spot, and they will likely have to climb over the Kings to have a chance at doing so.
Making small moves like this will be what they continue to do this summer, and the Kings may have to react to remain competitive this season.
A Missing Edge: LA’s Quiet Transition Away from EnforcementEL SEGUNDO, CA — The Los Angeles Kings have made an impressionable summer thus far under Ken Holland. Impressionable in the sense that things could go as scheduled or very badly. Their push for 'contender' status has left many in doubt about their ability to prevail under an array of dubious circumstances left behind by a different administration. The team sought to bolster its size and experience, and while that was achieved, significant gaps remained, including enforcement.
Report: Ontario Reign Hiring Andrew Lord As New Head CoachThe Los Angeles Kings’ American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Ontario Reign, have been searching for a new head coach, and have found one as they announced Andrew Lord would be taking over the job in the 2025-26 season.
Kings Should Have Pursued Forward Isaac HowardThe Los Angeles Kings have been picked apart for their moves in free agency this summer, and while they still have a competitive team and seem poised to make another run to the playoffs, they missed out on a potential youngster addition who could've made the jump to the NHL this season.
The Yankees dropped their final game before the All-Star break, losing to the Chicago Cubs by a score of 4-1 on Sunday afternoon at Yankee Stadium.
-There wasn't a lot to like out of New York's offense on Sunday as it got just two hits from the lineup. One of those hits was a home run by Giancarlo Stanton which tied the game at 1-1 in the second, but after that the Yankees were completely shut down by Shota Imanaga who went seven innings.
The only other hit on the day by the Bombers came from Austin Wells who singled to lead off the sixth. He was quickly erased on a double play by Paul Goldschmidt.
-Chicago took a 1-0 lead in the first inning against Will Warren on a Michael Busch leadoff home run. The Cubs kept the pressure on Warren and got the next two batters on, but the right-hander got Pete Crow-Armstrong to flyout before Carson Kelly ended the inning with a double play.
Warren had to deal with more traffic in the second and fourth, but managed to get out of each inning unscathed. He went back out for the sixth and Kelly got even with a leadoff double. After a groundout to advance the runner to third, Warren's day was done.
His final line: 5.1 innings, six hits, three walks, two earned runs, one strikeout on 88 pitches (52 strikes).
-Replacing Warren was Ian Hamilton who immediately surrendered a two-run shot to Dansby Swanson that broke the tie and gave Chicago a 3-1 lead.
-The Cubs scored again in the seventh, this time off Tim Hill after Seiya Suzuki doubled and Crow-Armstrong singled him home. They had 10 hits.
After allowing a game-tying home run in the second, Imanaga found his groove and took apart New York's lineup over seven innings.

Former New Jersey Devils first-round pick Chase Stillman is on the move again.
The Vancouver Canucks have announced that they have acquired Stillman and a 2027 fourth-round pick from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for goaltender Arturs Silovs.

Stillman was traded by the Devils to the Penguins only four months ago in the deal that brought Cody Glass to New Jersey. Now, after a brief stay with the Penguins organization, Stillman is heading to Vancouver.
Stillman, 22, will now look to take that next step in his development. At this point in his career, the former first-rounder has yet to make his NHL debut, but he will aim to change that with the Canucks following this move.
Stillman began his American Hockey League (AHL) career with the Utica Comets. In 54 games with Utica during his first AHL season in 2023-24, he posted 14 goals, 24 points, 72 penalty minutes, and a minus-2 rating. In 46 games with the Comets in 2024-25 before being traded by the Devils, he had three goals, nine points, and a minus-14 rating.
It will now be intriguing to see how much of an impact Stillman can make with the Canucks.
Devils Need Important Forward To Bounce BackNew Jersey Devils forward Dawson Mercer is undoubtedly a player to watch closely next season. When looking at the Devils' current roster, he is one of their most important forwards. Due to this, they will be hoping for the 23-year-old to have a much-needed bounce-back season in 2025-26.

The Vancouver Canucks have traded goaltender Artūrs Šilovs to the Pittsburgh Penguins. In return, Vancouver received winger Chase Stillman as well as a fourth-round pick in the 2027 NHL Entry Draft. In the end, the Canucks were able to get back assets for Šilovs, instead of losing him for free on waivers once the season began
In a press release, GM Patrik Allvin wrote "We would like thank Artūrs for everything he has done for the hockey club, including helping Abbotsford win the Calder Cup. We wanted to give him an opportunity elsewhere as we feel we are very well positioned in goal at the NHL, AHL and developmental level. Acquiring a future pick and depth forward will add to our organizational depth."
Stillman was drafted 29th overall by the New Jersey Devils in 2021. The 22-year-old played his junior career in the OHL, where he helped the Peterborough Petes qualify for the 2023 Memorial Cup. Last season, Stillman was traded from New Jersey to Pittsburgh at the trade deadline.
Over the past two years, Stillman has played 119 regular-season games in the AHL, recording 18 goals and 36 points. He can play on both wings and received some time on the penalty kill last season. Based on the Canucks current roster, Stillman will most likely start the 2025-26 season in the AHL with the Abbotsford Canucks.
