Contrasting GM styles fueling Mets-Phillies deadline battle for NL East
The NL East race grew more fascinating Wednesday as the Mets and the Phillies played a game of 'any relief pitcher you can get, we can do better.' The Mets landed Tyler Rogers, the Phillies countered with Jhoan Duran, and the Mets fired back with Ryan Helsley. And in many ways, it also was a mano a mano of David Stearns and his new-school baseball operations philosophies versus the old-school tactics of the Phillies' Dave Dombrowski.

Sign up Now All that is at stake for who got it right is the NL East title — and perhaps more. Steve Cohen hired Stearns for his big-picture discipline so that he might turn the Mets into serial championship contenders. And even with a strong club in a heated race in a huge market for a franchise title-less since 1986, Stearns was willing to give up plenty of supplementary depth to upgrade the pen with lefty Gregory Soto and now Rogers and Helsley.

Emma Raducanu eases into third round in Montreal
Emma Raducanu continued her run of good form as she booked a place in the third round of the National Bank Open in Montreal with a straight-sets win over Peyton Stearns. The world number 33 proved too strong for the American 32nd seed, a couple of breaks in each set clinching a 6-2 6-4 win. Raducanu, who arrived at the WTA 1000 event fresh from an impressive semi-final showing at the Citi Open last week, had won her two previous meetings with Stearns and an early break put her in control of the first set. Raducanu Magic 🪄 @EmmaRaducanu moves into the next round as she defeats Stearns 6-2, 6-4. #OBN25 — wta (@WTA) July 30, 2025 She broke again in a lengthy eighth game to seal the set, but fell a break down midway through the second as double faults crept into her game. The British number one broke back to level at 4-4 and a final break completed a run of four successive games to clinch a place in the last 32. Raducanu said in quotes broadcast on Sky Sports: 'I know Peyton is a really tough opponent, we've played two times in the past and always had really long matches. I'm really happy with how I came through in that match. 'I kind of lost my focus at some moments in the second set and she took advantage, but very happy that I came through against a top opponent and happy to extend my stay in Montreal. 'I just want to say thank you (to supporters), I saw the Union Jack in clutch moments and I was actually born in Canada, so to come back and to me it means so much to do well here and very happy to be into the next round.'
