Mets Predicted to Swing Blockbuster Trade For $50 Million All-Star
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The New York Mets are tied with the Chicago Cubs for the best record in the National League, entering play on Wednesday. The Mets look like a team that can make another deep run in October, but still have holes on the roster. The Mets have gotten a .684 OPS from center field this season. Tyrone Taylor has seen most of the work there, but he is leaps and bounds better with his glove than with his bat. There should be plenty of outfielders available for the Mets at the deadline, but Talkin' Baseball's Jake Storiale predicted the Mets would trade for Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday's episode of the "Talkin' Baseball Podcast." "If I had to pick right now, I'd say the Mets," Storiale said. "Steve (Cohen), roll the wallet out there. You have to pay him and you don't have to give up a big price. He could potentially go nuts for three months."

KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI - AUGUST 22: Luis Robert #88 of the Chicago White Sox catches a ball hit by Michael Massey of the Kansas City Royals in the third inning at Kauffman Stadium on August 22, 2022 in Kansas City, Missouri. MoreRobert signed a six-year, $50 million deal before ever making his debut. He has $20 million club options for the next two seasons. However, he has struggled this season and has a lengthy injury history. In his lone healthy season, 2023, Robert was an All-Star and hit 38 home runs. This season, he has been healthy, but the results have not been there. He is slashing .190/.275/.305 on the year. He is more expensive than Taylor and does not look like an upgrade right now. However, his ceiling is higher, and the Mets may be willing to bank on his potential. Since June 6, Robert has been playing better, perhaps indicating that he has turned a corner. He is slashing .265/.324/.412 since then. More MLB: Braves Declare Decision on Chris Sale Trade That Effects Yankees, Dodgers, Other Contenders

Jac Caglianone's ‘super fired up' admission for Royals' home debut
The post Jac Caglianone's 'super fired up' admission for Royals' home debut appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Kansas City Royals lost a series to the Chicago White Sox over the weekend to fall to 34-32. But they had a big prospect make a splash on the big stage over the weekend. After brutal luck in his first games, Royals top prospect Jac Caglianone had a four-hit game over the weekend. Now, he is set to make his home debut with the Royals against the Yankees this week. He told Jay Cohen of The Associated Press that he is ready to greet the Kauffman Stadium debut. Advertisement 'I'm super fired up. I think I'm more excited for that than I was for the actual debut itself,' Caglianone said. 'I have a lot of family and friends coming to that, so I'm excited to see them, and I'm excited to see all the fans at (Kauffman Stadium).' On Sunday, Caglianone slapped three singles and a double to help the Royals beat the White Sox. They brought him up to help with their offense, which is exactly what they did in that game. With Salvador Perez and Michael Massey struggling at the plate, the pressure is on the youngster to produce immediately. The Royals drafted Caglianone sixth overall in last year's MLB Draft. He was a two-way star at the University of Florida, earning the nickname 'Jac-Tani' for his pitching prowess. But he's since dropped the pitching and focused only on the hitting. He hit .322 with a .982 OPS in 50 games between AA and AAA this year. In six MLB games, Caglianone has started four times in right field and twice as the designated hitter. He did pick up two innings at first base on Saturday against Chicago. This adds to the pile of players who can play first and DH for the Royals, including Freddie Fermin, Salvador Perez, and Vinnie Pasquantino. Expect Caglianone to play a lot of outfield as his rookie season continues.

Royals place Michael Massey on injured list, recall Tyler Tolbert before series-opener vs Yankees
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Royals placed second baseman Michael Massey on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left ankle and recalled utility man Tyler Tolbert from Triple-A Omaha before starting a three-game series against the Yankees on Tuesday night. Massey had served as the designated hitter on Saturday against the White Sox but did not finish the game, and he was out of the lineup for the series finale . He is hitting just .202 with two homers and 14 RBIs in 56 games this season. 'The same ankle injury that he's been dealing with since the last homestand. It's just not getting any better, or it's not improving enough to go out there and play at a high level,' Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. 'He got an MRI to show that things weren't healing as well as we would like. So, we needed to make a move to get him some rest.' In other news, the Royals expect to have reliever Lucas Erceg back before they wrap up their series against New York. He threw a clean inning against Omaha on Sunday night as he works his way back from a lower back strain. Erceg has appeared in 24 games with a 1.96 ERA for Kansas City this season. ___ AP MLB:
