Carlos Beltran back in New York?

The Mets are thinking about it right now, which is different from last year.

In any case, the stars of the club like the idea.

An under-the-radar big deal yesterday when Carlos Beltran returned to Citi Field for the first time since … you know.

In the aftermath, Mets stars Francisco Lindor and Edwin Diaz tell me they want Beltran back with the organization full time.https://t.co/UwN3WPvKZs

Chaim Bloom on Xander Bogaerts

He still says he wants to keep it… but concretely, this is not what he demonstrated in the last year.

‘I will put it this way: Normally when you look at players at the point in their career that he is getting to, on paper that is usually the time to get off the bus. It’s because of all those things he brings that he is the type of guy you want to have here for a long time.’ https://t.co/BjfJ6QX0Ye

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and her long progression

His fitness is not going as well as expected.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. working out at #BlueJays‘ player development complex in Florida. Hitting & throwing drills. Running further behind at the moment. Gurriel Jr. expected to meet the Jays at the Trop. May well take longer for him to be activated though depending on progress

Putting things in perspective

Nathan MacKinnon earns almost as much money per year as Yusei Kikuchi.

The family of Roger Maris in the stands

It will be exciting to follow Aaron Judge in the coming days.

Roger Maris’ sons, Roger Jr. and Kevin, will be at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night as Aaron Judge closes in on 61. Other family members will arrive starting Wednesday, Roger Jr. told me.
