The Mets had a John Franco Day on May 11, 1996 to celebrate his 300th save and Franco got kicked out in the fifth inning for his part in a benches-clearing brawl with the Cubs. Now every year on May 11 we honor John Franco by fighting Scott Servais in defense of Pete Harnisch.

Imagine if you did this in any other journalistic context

"Did the Tigers or Mariners Win Game 5? In Detroit, Depends on the Narrator."

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

Yes, but without having thought about this much at all, I feel like landing Alcantara+ might also cost Luisangel Acuna, who would quite obviously get off to a torrid start with the Marlins while Alcantara gets hit hard in his first couple of outings.

Once you realize the Mets are inevitably going to trade Mark Vientos to the Marlins for 1-2 pitchers they don't want to pay anymore, you know exactly how it'll play out, all the way down the line.
