NEW YORK — There‘s a thin line between love and hate — a pinstripe, actually. And Juan Soto, who decided he wanted piles of money — not a Hall of Fame bust with a Yankees cap, sitting on a Cooperstown pedestal next to Aaron Judge one day, not a plaque in Monument Park, not his pinstriped jersey retired, not the love and legacy of all eternity that is given to Yankees heroes — discovered what comes with that betrayal.

NEW YORK — The Mets played their fifth game of a 13-game stretch against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday. With no off days until next Thursday, May 8, New York will turn to a six-man rotation to give their starters an extra day’s rest. With starters Frankie Montas (lat strain) and Sean Manaea (oblique strain) still rehabbing from their injuries, the options are limited. So, who will take the ball when the Mets play their sixth consecutive game on Wednesday?

Minter, but he steered clear, avoiding having to use him on consecutive days.

Now, not only will he be playing for Team USA in the 2026 tournament, but manager Mark DeRosa announced on MLB Network on Monday morning that Judge is the team captain. Judge’s age likely played a factor in his decision to participate in the tournament. The slugger turns 33 next week and is dead in the middle of his prime. Is another Mets player headed to IL?

Mets outfielder Jose Siri briefly covered his face as he was being carted off the field in Saturday’s 3-1 loss to the Athletics at Sutter Health Park. Moments earlier, he’d fouled a ball off his shin, falling to the ground in visible pain. After being seen by Mets’ trainers, he was replaced by Tyrone Taylor and helped off the field. After the game, despite the x-rays coming back negative, Siri was seen in crutches. The next day wasn’t much better, according to Mets manager Carlos Mendoza.
