Mets Poised to Dump Talent Before Deadline
The Skinny: Jon Heyman dropped the hammer—Mets should shop everyone except the core five (Ewing, Benge, McLean, Scott, Soto). That’s a green light to unload young, cheap assets like Lindor (yeah, he said it). Market’s heating up, and Cohen’s already catching hell at home—wife Alex is not thrilled with the rebuild talk. If the Mets don’t move fast, they’ll get pennies on the dollar.
The Numbers: Soto’s the only big-money guy off-limits. Everyone else? Fair game. That’s a roster overhaul in the making.
Yankees Desperate for Arms and Gloves
The Skinny: NY Post’s got the Yankees’ shopping list: a starter, a catcher, and two relievers. They’re reeling, and the deadline’s their last shot to salvage a season. Twenty names are floating around—expect Cashman to pull the trigger on at least one big move. No more ‘wait and see’—this team’s in win-now mode, injuries be damned.
The Bet: Yankees land a starter first. They can’t afford another collapse, and the rotation’s a mess. Watch for a mid-tier arm with upside—they’ve got the prospects to pay up.
