Brandon Sproat, a top Mets pitching prospect, pitched six innings allowing three earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four batters.

David Stearns mentioned, "I think it's always a combination of when, developmentally, those guys are ready. And also when there's the need and how to fit it on the roster." He indicates that promoting top pitching prospects is considered when necessary and timely.

The New York Mets possess a strong farm system with several Top 100 prospects, giving them leverage at the trade deadline to strengthen their team.

The Brooklyn Cyclones are hosting their first-ever "PURRRRfect Game" at Maimonides Park on July 29, inviting fans to bring their cats to a baseball game.

Robert's production at the plate has rapidly diminished since winning a Silver Slugger in 2023 to the point where he's barely valued as a replacement-level player even with his stellar baserunning and glovework in center field.

Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns noted the team is looking for outside help to strengthen a depleted bullpen due to significant injuries. He acknowledged the possibility of promoting top pitching prospects Brandon Sproat and Nolan McLean as relievers if trade efforts fail before the July 31 deadline. Sproat has recently thrived with a 23-inning scoreless streak, while McLean boasts a solid 3.08 ERA and 71 strikeouts in Syracuse.

David Stearns acknowledged that if the Mets do not secure a center fielder by the July 31 deadline, he is comfortable with Jeff McNeil taking on a primary role in the position for the rest of the 2025 season. Stearns expressed confidence in the current distribution of roles, citing McNeil's progress in adapting to center field. The Mets have struggled in center field with a .608 OPS, ranking 25th in MLB, a challenge heightened by injuries to key players.
