After learning that the Giants were hosting Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders for a private workout on Thursday, Canty, who’s part of the 2011-12 Super Bowl winning team, used the ESPN airwaves to beg Mara not to take the quarterback with the No. 3 pick. “I’m pleading. Please, John Mara, don’t do this,” Canty said on “Unsportsmanlike,” via ESPN.

When right fielder Juan Soto left the Yankees to sign with the Mets, he knew he was leaving behind one of the most precious spots in any batting order in baseball — the No. 2 hole, in front of slugger Aaron JudgeAhead of Monday’s 5-1 win against the Minnesota Twins, when Soto featured a decent .409 on-base percentage with a lackluster one home run and four RBIs, the Mets’ $765 million man talked about what it’s like not having Judge’s lineup protection.

Initial x-rays were negative, but an MRI revealed a fractured tibia, manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters after the game. “We gotta get more information before we know how long he’s going to be out,” Mendoza said.

As “First Take” host Stephen A. Smith continues to tease a potential presidential run in 2028, a former ESPN star — and MSNBC host — is calling bull. On Sunday night, Meidas Touch Editor-in-Chief Ron Filipkowski posted a screenshot of Smith from ABC’s “This Week” X/Twitter account. The post features Smith saying if someone doesn’t step up to be a viable presidential nominee in 2028, he’d “consider” running himself.

Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is reporting for duty. Judge has previously avoided participating in the World Baseball Classic. 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.

Luis Severino has pitched in New York — with the Yankees and the Mets — his entire pro career. Then, this winter, he signed a three-year deal to be the face of the (don’t say Sacramento) Athletics. On Friday, the 31-year-old right-hander revealed that he tried his best to stay with the Mets, where he had a resurgent season last year. But the Mets front office had other plans. “I actually asked for less money to stay there,” Severino told reporters. How much less?

NEW YORK — Mets shorstop Francisco Lindor knows how difficult it is to start a season slowly. He was 1-for-31 in his first eight games (38 plate appearances) last season before delivering an MVP-worthy season. After going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a throwing error in the Mets’ 5-0 loss to the Miami Marlins at Citi Field on Wednesday, infielder Brett Baty is now 3-for-27 in his first nine games this season — and fans have had enough.

NEW YORK — Mets’ bats were silent against the Miami Marlins at Citi Field on Wednesday. It wasn’t until the sixth inning that the Mets recorded their first hit. A one-out linedrive single by shortstop Francisco Lindor broke up the Marlins’ no-hitter. Before that, they’d only managed to get on base twice via walks. Lindor’s single would be fruitless as right fielder Juan Soto followed by grounding into an inning-ending double play.

NEW YORK — Unlike Saturday’s walk-off affair, the Mets’ 3-2 win on Sunday provided lots of stress for different reasons. The only runs the Mets scored came in the third inning, when Pete Alonso hit a sharp RBI single to center field, putting the Mets on the board first. Hayden Senger scored from second and Juan Soto advanced to third on the hit. Left fielder Brandon Nimmo followed with a sacrifice fly to left field, allowing Soto to score and giving the Mets a 2-0 lead.
