Mets' Tyrone Taylor delivers another incredible web gem: ‘He's one of the best in the game'
Tyrone Taylor has been terrific for the Mets this season. With Jose Siri remaining sidelined due to a tibia injury, the veteran outfielder has gotten his opportunity to start just about every day in centerfield and he's taken full advantage of it. Advertisement Even on days he doesn't start, he keeps finding ways to make his mark. On Wednesday night, Taylor entered the game as a late-inning defensive replacement and he gunned down Luis Garcia Jr. trying to score on a single to center, helping keep David Peterson's shutout alive. A few hours later, he was back in the lineup for Thursday's series finale -- and he came through again. With a man on first and two outs in the sixth, Taylor ranged deep into the right-center gap and layed out to make a tremendous diving grab to rob Garcia of an extra-base hit and keep Washington off the board again. These are just the latest additions to what's been a season-long highlight reel for Taylor. 'At this point nothing surprises us with him,' Carlos Mendoza said. 'As soon as the ball was hit, looking at him and [Juan] Soto and how far both of them went into the gap, I thought it was going to be at least a double. Advertisement 'He kept closing the gap and then for him to make that spectacular play like that, it's not the first time we've seen it from him but that goes to show you he's elite out there -- he's a special player and a special defender, one of the best in the game.' Statically, Taylor is up there among the best in baseball -- he's currently ninth among CFs with four defensive runs saved and ranks in the 89th percentile with three Outs Above Average, according to Baseball Savant. If he's able to stay healthy and can keep this rolling, there's no reason he shouldn't at least be in the mix to take home his first career Gold Glove award come season's end. 'He works so hard at his craft and is such a good defender,' Brandon Nimmo said. 'He's really saved a lot of games and a lot of runs for us. Just look at this game and how we ended up winning by one run, that catch was extremely important, what an amazing play. "You know you're getting the best effort Tyrone has every single game -- he's doing great, I couldn't be more proud of the center fielder and the baseball player he is.'

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Wear Matching Outfits at Stanley Cup Final
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce just made their first official (meaning: not blurry fan pics) public appearance together since January, showing up at the 2025 Stanley Cup Final in Florida wearing matching red and beige outfits. And yep there are videos: This comes amid a source telling Us Weekly that Tay and Trav are making fewer public appearances together "because [their relationship] brings too much unwanted attention. But there isn't trouble in paradise." You also might have noticed that tonight's surprise appearance is going down in Florida, where Travis happens to be training for the upcoming NFL season. "Florida has been the perfect escape for them," another insider told the outlet. "Taylor has been coming and going to Florida and is still spending a lot of her time in NYC." Meanwhile, a third person added that Taylor "is trying to spend as much time with him as she can by going to Boca. They are doing stuff separately out of necessity because of his training, but when they find time to connect, it's intentional and meaningful." The couple were also recently spotted at a wedding, and in case you missed the photos they are v. sweet: Can't wait to see where these two pop up next. And as a reminder: they have yet to make their official red carpet debut, so keep an eye out....
