Mets Send Message to Juan Soto After Major News on Thursday
Mets Send Message to Juan Soto After Major News on Thursday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. New York Mets superstar Juan Soto didn't look like himself to start the season, but it was only a matter of time before he regained his powers at the plate. Advertisement The four-time All-MLB honoree slashed .232/.347/.345 in April and .219/.345/.448 in May, but he was slashing .340/.522/.700 in June ahead of Wednesday's 0-for-4 against the Atlanta Braves. If he continues to bat over .300 in the coming months, the Mets could run away with the NL's top seed. New York entered Thursday atop the NL East despite Soto slashing just .248/.387/.462 on the season. For context, his career slash line is .282/.418/.527. New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto (22)© Eric Canha-Imagn Images Soto reminded the baseball world what he's capable of with his latest history-making accomplishment on Thursday. The 26-year-old notched his 1,000th career hit, joining Mickey Mantle and Mel Ott as the only players to ever record 1,000 hits, 700 walks, and 200 homers before turning 27 (h/t Bob Nightengale of USA Today). He turns 27 on Oct. 25. Advertisement The Mets reacted to this news with a post on X. Soto signed with the Washington Nationals as an international free agent in 2015 before making his MLB debut in 2018. The native Dominican was the runner-up for the NL Rookie of the Year Award that season and helped lead the Nationals to their first-ever championship the following season. Soto won the NL batting title in 2020 with a .351 average and was the NL MVP runner-up in 2021. The Nationals traded him to the San Diego Padres in August 2022, who then sent him to the New York Yankees in December 2023. He then helped lead the Yankees to their first World Series appearance in 15 years before signing a record 15-year, $765 million contract with the Mets in December 2024.

Mets Make Move After Sixth Straight Loss
Mets Make Move After Sixth Straight Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Currently reeling from a six-game losing streak, the New York Mets are also dealing with the absence ace starting pitcher Kodai Senga who suffered a right hamstring strain during a June 11 win against the Washington Nationals. The injury occurred while Senga was covering first base in the sixth inning and reached for a high throw from Pete Alonso. Advertisement He exited after 5.2 dominant innings, having allowed just one hit and striking out five. With a league-best 1.47 ERA, Senga has been the anchor of a rotation now in flux. His absence leaves the team without its most dependable arm at a time when bullpen usage is already stretched thin. New York Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga (34) and first baseman Pete Alonso (20)© Brad Penner-Imagn Images Manager Carlos Mendoza and pitching coach Jeremy Hefner are left scrambling to find answers ahead of a pivotal series against the Philadelphia Phillies. The bullpen has been heavily taxed during this skid, and options are limited. The Mets' need for innings, stability, and upside has made their latest move all the more urgent. Enter Blade Tidwell. Advertisement Tidwell, the organization's top pitching prospect, has been recalled for a second stint in the majors (via Anthony DiComo of His debut last month against the St. Louis Cardinals was a mixed bag—3.2 innings, three walks, and an inflated 14.73 ERA—but also offered a glimpse of his potential. His fastball touched 96 mph, and his slider showed promise, though command issues derailed what began as a confident start. This second opportunity comes with real stakes. The Mets don't just need an arm—they need production. Tidwell now finds himself thrown into the fire, tasked with stabilizing a spiraling rotation and proving he's more than a prospect. His ability to adjust, execute in high-leverage situations, and limit base traffic will determine both his future role and the club's immediate fortunes. Advertisement With Senga's timeline unclear, the Mets must rely on internal reinforcements. That means young pitchers like Tidwell must mature quickly, because every game now holds postseason implications.
