Sorry Mets fans, Dicky Lovelady is taken
It's nearly impossible to not raise eyebrows with the name Richard 'Dicky' Lovelady. The 29-year-old lefty made headlines when he reached an agreement Monday on a major league deal with the Mets after opting out from his minor league contract with the Twins — and his flashy name added intrigue for many. For those who are wondering, Lovelady is taken — he's a husband and a father. Advertisement 4 Richard 'Dicky' Lovelady and his wife Madison. Instagram/Madison Lovelady The pitcher and his wife, Madison Lovelady, welcomed a baby boy, John Tyler, in February 2024 They tied the knot at Mountain Shadows Resort Scottsdale in November 2019 after getting engaged in March 2018. Advertisement Madison, an alum of Arizona State University, works at Lululemon activewear company as a key leader, or career coach, according to her LinkedIn. Earlier this season, Lovelady pitched for the Twins' Triple-A St. Paul affiliate and produced a 1.31 ERA in 19 appearances. 4 Richard 'Dicky' Lovelady and his wife Madison with their son John Tyler.

Instagram/Madison Lovelady Lovelady lives by a few rules when it comes to his nickname, according to The pitcher prefers to be Dicky on the street or at the ballpark — and he wants to be called Richard in all formal communications, such as on the scoreboard, on television and in print. 4 Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Richard Lovelady (58) throws against the Baltimore Orioles during the sixth inning at Rogers Centre on March 27, 2025. Nick Turchiaro-Imagn Images Advertisement 'On a baseball card, I go by Richard Lovelady,' he said. 'On the scoreboard, Richard Lovelady.' Lovelady goes by Tyler, which is his middle name, to some of his family members in order to differentiate him from his father, who's also named Richard. Lovelady signed with the Mets after flirting with the team during the past two offseasons. He played in two games for the Blue Jays this season after bouncing between the Cubs and Rays last year.

Ronald Acuna Jr. Offers 3-Word Response to Hostile Mets Fans
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Mets are enduring a harsh stretch of the season and fans are getting frustrated. Taking on the division rival Atlanta Braves on Monday after the team had lost eight of its last nine games, the Mets faithful unleashed some of those frustrations on Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. as he powered a win for his team and another loss for New York. "The win was thanks in no small part to Acuna, who scorched a leadoff home run to center field in the third inning and appeared to get in the heads of the Mets' players and fans," David O'Brien wrote for The Athletic. "When Acuna did various celebrations that are part of his routine home run trot, boos rained down from the crowd of 38,593. And when he struck out an inning later, one man in a Juan Soto Mets jersey stood and flipped both middle fingers at Acuna while screaming profanities." Those hostilities might be enough to elicit a frustrated response from some players. But Acuna, who is slashing .396/.500/.713 with nine homers in 28 games since returning from injury this season, seems to thrive on the negative reactions. ATLANTA, GA - JUNE 18: Ronald Acuña Jr. #13 of the Atlanta Braves celebrates hitting a home run during the first inning against the New York Mets at Truist Park on June 18, 2025 in...

(Photo by Matthew Grimes Jr./) More Grimes/Getty "It feels good," Acuna said of the hostile reaction, per O'Brien. "It feels like whenever I kind of hear those boos or anything ... it's hard to describe it, it's almost like I get more confidence, you know?" Even as Acuna propels some Braves wins and the Mets endure a harsh slump, the National League East division remains a two-team race. The Philadelphia Phillies hold a slight lead over the Mets, who are up more than 10 games on the third-place Braves. But if Acuna can continue to thrive on support from his home fans and hate from those of the team's rivals, things could get much more competitive soon.
