Steve Cohen’s message to Edwin Díaz was something like, “We’re going to do everything we can to get you better and take care of you.”
At Díaz’s home, there’s a trainer, nutritionist and personal chef, courtesy of Cohen and the Mets.

- Brewers-White Sox probables for this weekend: RHP Freddy Peralta (7-3, 2.39) vs. RHP Lucas Giolito (8-6, 3.90) RHP Corbin Burnes (5-4, 2.16) vs. LHP Carlos Rodon (8-3, 2.14) RHP Brandon Woodruff (7-4, 2.04) vs. RHP Lance Lynn (9-3, 1.94)
- Asked if there was anyone he was especially looking forward to facing, Kodai Senga said in English, “Phillies lineup.”
- Before the Dodgers landed him, the Mets presented Yoshinobu Yamamoto with an offer of $325 million for 12 years, which Los Angeles matched, a league sources told @TheAthletic. @martinonyc was first on dollars from Mets; @JeffPassan first with LA terms.
- Mets owner Steve Cohen flew to Japan last week to meet with Yoshinobu Yamamoto, league sources told @TheAthletic.
- The New York Mets' collapse is one of the worst you'll ever see. Despite being 21 games over .500 in June and owning baseball's best record at the time, the Mets failed to make the playoffs. Making things worse, no one "chased" them down. They just blew it.
- The Mets are promoting pitching prospect Jonah Tong, league sources tell The Athletic.
- Where Corbin Burnes now ranks in baseball among qualified pitchers: fWAR: 1st (7.1) ERA: 1st (2.25) FIP: 1st (1.50) xERA: 1st (1.89) xFIP: 1st (2.30) SIERA: 1st (2.59) K-BB%: 1st (30.5) HR/9: 1st (0.30) Barrel rate: 1st (2.6) K%: 1st-t (35.4)
- Brewers are acquiring outfielder Mark Canha in a trade with the Mets, league source tells @TheAthletic.
- Emmitt Smith was asked about his son EJ Smith choosing Stanford, any advice he gave him after going thru processs, picking Gators. Emmitt put on UF hat, said his journey is his journey, his son’s journey is his son’s journey. Great message.
00:00 - Juan Soto's bat works everywhere. His numbers at Citi Field, though, are something else. In 35 career games at Citi Field (146 plate appearances), Soto has a 1.175 OPS with 12 home runs, including two of the five longest home runs in the stadium’s history (466 feet, 463 feet).
- Huge blow to the Brewers: Devin Williams fractured his pitch hand after punching a wall, he told media today. He’s out the rest of the year. If the Brewers make the World Series, there’s a chance he could be back for it, David Stearns said.
- Mets have traded reliever Dominic Leone to the Angels, league source tells @TheAthletic
- This is my final day on the Florida football beat before taking on a new role with The Athletic (more on that in a few days). The Athletic’s dedicated coverage of Gators football will continue. Thank you so much for reading and pushing me to give everything I had in every story.
