The New York Mets, despite spending over $3.5 billion on player payroll since 2022, are struggling with a disastrous 2026 season and a 2% playoff chance. A new report suggests the team may trade Francisco Lindor amid ongoing roster overhauls and poor performance, with owner Steve Cohen backing front office decisions.

Braves left-hander Martín Pérez was hit on his left forearm by Juan Soto’s line drive during a game against the Mets, likely resulting in an injured list (IL) placement. Manager Walt Weiss confirmed Pérez would miss his next start and require further testing, with the team planning to adjust their bullpen if he lands on the IL.

Eli White and Michael Harris II led the Atlanta Braves to a 3-1 victory over the New York Mets with key hits, including White's career-high three-hit performance and Harris's long homer. Martín Pérez pitched effectively for the win, and Raisel Iglesias secured the game-ending double play.

New York Mets fans blamed Mayor Zohran Mamdani for a 12-game losing streak after he hugged the team's mascots, leading to angry social media reactions. The Mets ended the streak with a win but remain winless in 13 games since Mamdani's visit. The team's poor performance, including a league-low 78 runs, has fueled fan frustration.

The New York Mets are enduring an 11-game losing streak, the longest in franchise history, dubbed the 'Curse of the Mambino' by the New York Post. Mayor Zohran Mamdani humorously accepted the nickname, while the team faces injuries to key players like Juan Soto and Jorge Polanco, contributing to poor offensive and pitching performance.
