New York Daily News @NYDailyNews  Mar 27, 2024: 

Carlos Mendoza is the Mets’ 6th manager since 2017 — counting Carlos Beltran 

Trust can be hard to come by with so much turnover, but heading into his first season at the helm, Mendoza has made himself as visible and as vocal as possible to establish it

I got in a reference about Love is Blind in this one and had to rewrite it after J.D. Martinez was signed, so definitely read it!

Chris Hatfield @SPChrisHatfield Mar 27, 2024: 

Just learned that Noah Song, who went on the 60-day IL this morning, needs Tommy John surgery. More adversity for right-hander, who after his 2019 debut had a multi-year absence due to his military commitment, followed by a roller-coaster 2023 with the Phillies as a Rule 5 pick.

 

Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN Mar 27, 2024:

Max Scherzer progressing well. Chris Young says he’s guessing Scherzer won’t be placed on the 60-day IL. Which suggests a possible return in May. 

 

Jeff Passan @JeffPassan Mar 27, 2024: 

Nobody writes about Shohei Ohtani with the combination of precision, grace and insight like Tim Keown. Even before the gambling scandal, Ohtani was a man on an island, and this piece captures the separateness — which is now even more acute — wonderfully.

The Reds will be without second baseman Matt McLain for an extended period after he had left shoulder surgery on Tuesday. 

It was not immediately known when McLain would be ready to return. 

 

Ronald Acuña Jr. @ronaldacunajr24 Mar 27, 2024: 

I want you to understand the full picture. I want you to know about the whole person, and what’s important to me. About the things reporters never ask me about. Not just the baseball part. 

This is my story.

Chandler Rome @Chandler_Rome Mar 27, 2024: 

Alex Bregman has evolved from the brash 22-year-old kid who stared into dugout cameras and brought his bat to first base after a World Series homer. He's an entrepreneur, businessman, the closest thing his clubhouse has to a spokesman and, now, "at peace" -

Matt McLain, a key Reds piece, seriously hurt his shoulder in a “key moment for the 2024 pennant race”. Yes, he hurt it diving in a meaningless spring training game, when idiots forget that it’s meaningless-to-the-regular-season TRAINING TIME and instinctually go into Flying Wallenda mode. All it did was likely cost the Reds a shot at the playoffs. No biggie.

Now we have two Ninja Warriors in the organization. Scott is very impressive. Maybe this generation’s David Cone?
