Mets' Griffin Canning sends message to New York fans after Achilles injury
The post Mets' Griffin Canning sends message to New York fans after Achilles injury appeared first on ClutchPoints. The New York Mets' rotation, which entered Friday with an MLB-best 3.18 ERA, suffered a devastating blow as right-hander Griffin Canning was diagnosed with a ruptured left Achilles tendon, officially ending his 2025 season. The injury occurred during the third inning of Thursday's 4-0 shutout win over Atlanta at Citi Field, witnessed by a sellout crowd of 42,646. Advertisement Canning, 29, fell to the ground after stepping off the mound to field a routine ground ball. An MRI confirmed the rupture, and he underwent surgery the following day before being placed on the 60-day injured list. A typical recovery timeline for such an injury is at least nine months, though each case varies in severity. Before the injury, Canning was delivering the best season of his six-year MLB career. Over 16 starts, he posted a 7-3 record, a 3.77 ERA, a 1.38 WHIP, and recorded 70 strikeouts across 76 1/3 innings. His strong Spring Training performance earned him a spot in the Mets' rotation after signing a one-year deal with the team in December. In response to the injury, Canning recently addressed Mets fans on social media. 'Unfortunate way to end my season but looking forward to the challenge of getting back better and stronger. Appreciate everyone reaching out. LFGM!!,' he wrote. Advertisement Canning had been a steady force for a Mets rotation already thinned by injuries. Tylor Megill (elbow), Kodai Senga (hamstring), and Sean Manaea (oblique/elbow) are all sidelined. Manaea is expected to make a rehab appearance soon, with hopes he and Senga return around the July 14–17 All-Star break. With Griffin Canning out, rookie Blade Tidwell was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse. Tidwell, ranked the Mets' No. 14 prospect, has a 9.82 ERA in two big-league starts but has posted 73 strikeouts in 62 1/3 Triple-A innings this season. The Mets are now exploring trade options to fill Canning's void. Former Cy Young winner Sandy Alcantara has emerged as a possible target. Though his 2025 season ERA sits at 6.69, he has rebounded with a 2.74 ERA in June, making him a viable candidate as the July 30 trade deadline approaches.

3 Mets prospects who must be untouchable in trade talks
The post 3 Mets prospects who must be untouchable in trade talks appeared first on ClutchPoints. The New York Mets are competing for the National League East and are looking to make it to the World Series this season. While they are playing well, some injuries are taking their toll, and their lineup is still struggling. Because of this, New York might make a move, and the Mets' trade market might open up. If the team does make a trade, they absolutely cannot unload three Mets prospects who will be very valuable for a long time. Advertisement The Mets just lost a starting pitcher for the season, which will significantly hinder them. It gets even worse. Recently, the Mets endured a sweep at the hands of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Much of this has to do with a struggling lineup, as they combined for just four runs over three games. While the Mets finally ended their losing streak by beating the Milwaukee Brewers, there are significant concerns. This has opened up the floodgates for trade rumors regarding numerous Mets' prospects. While the Mets' trade market is open, the club has to be careful. They have a lot of excellent prospects, and some of these guys will help New York stay a contender for years to come. Brandon Sproat is one of the Mets' prospects with potential Brandon Sproat is one of the top prospects in the system. The early profiles on him were that he was a solid No. 2 starting pitcher and someone who could reach the majors in 2025. Unfortunately, things have not worked out that way this season. Advertisement Sproat is just 4-5 with a 5.43 ERA in 16 starts for Triple-A Syracuse. This is after going 7-4 with a 3.40 ERA across three levels over 23 starts and 24 games overall last season. Alarmingly, his stats have ballooned, and he has not figured it out yet. But Sproat just had his best start, hurling six shutout innings while allowing two hits in a win over Triple-A Rochester. Sproat thrives on his elite velocity, which has reached up to 101 MPH, as well as a plus changeup and slider. Conversely, his fastball shape and spin have been hittable. His changeup has been less effective this season because the velocity has climbed. His curveball needs improvement, and some observers have noted that it may be holding him back. Regardless, Sproat has the tools to become a good starting pitcher for the Mets, and they cannot trade him until they see what he can do. The Mets can't trade Jett Williams Of all the Mets trade prospects, Jett Williams could become very valuable. At just 21 years old, he has all the athleticism to succeed whether it's being a shortstop or an outfielder. Teams crave that flexibility, and that is why he is one of the best Mets' prospects around. However, New York must resist the urge to trade him. Advertisement Williams has been doing well this season, batting .280 with a .394 on-base percentage, and six home runs, 25 RBIs, 46 runs, and 24 stolen bases. Amazingly, he has been all over the basepaths and all over the field, making opponents pay for their mistakes and creating havoc all over the diamond. With Francisco Lindor still holding the reins at shortstop, the Mets can afford to let Williams marinate a little. Williams can take the next step and move on to Triple-A in his development. After he completes that tour, he will be ready to move on to the big leagues. With Juan Soto holding down the fort in right field, there might be an opening in center for the emerging Williams. Nolan McLean could become elite Nolan McLean was initially supposed to be a power reliever. Yet, there is a good chance he might emerge as a starting pitcher. If the Mets continue to deal with injuries to the rotation, they might have McLean available. Advertisement McLean is going solid work at Triple-A Syracuse, going 5-5 with a 2.55 ERA over 14 games and 12 starts. Ultimately, he is getting his shot in the rotation, and it's working. Because of his success, he could be turning him into one of the better Mets' trade prospects. New York must not send him away. McClean has six pitches, including the four-seam fastball, the sweeping slider, and a cutter that makes hitters think twice. Notably, the sweeper is his strongest pitch, and it's one of the reasons he has been dominating. His powerful fastball has been successful, and his low three-quarter arm slot makes him very deceptive. The only weaknesses in McLean's arsenal are his command inconsistencies and potential starter stamina. The Mets would be wise to foster McLean's development and help him become the elite pitcher he is trending toward. Furthermore, Sproat and Williams could also become centerpieces for the Mets over the next few seasons.

Juan Soto completes extremely rare Mets feat last done by Darryl Strawberry in 1987
The post Juan Soto completes extremely rare Mets feat last done by Darryl Strawberry in 1987 appeared first on ClutchPoints. Juan Soto turned around a disappointing debut season with the New York Mets by knocking the cover off the ball in June. Soto has been on fire this month, displaying his prodigious power. The All-Star right fielder tied Jimmie Foxx for the most multi-homer games before turning 27 with two blasts in an 11-4 win over the Phillies Saturday. In Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves, Soto again hit two home runs, surpassing Foxx for the all-time record with his 27th multi-homer game. Advertisement In addition to adding his name to the MLB record book, Soto's June run has made Mets franchise history. With his two home runs against the Braves, Soto joined Darryl Strawberry as the only Mets players with 10 home runs and 20 walks in a calendar month, per Sarah Langs. Strawberry accomplished the incredible feat in May 1987. Juan Soto makes history with red-hot June Mandatory Credit: Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images Soto now leads the Mets with 19 home runs. He also has a team-high 58 runs scored and MLB-best 66 walks. The four-time All-Star is finally looking like the player Mets fans thought they were getting when he signed a $765 million contract with the team over the offseason. Soto got off to a slow start as he adjusted to his new club. He slashed .231/.357/.413 with 9 home runs, 27 RBI and 36 runs scored through May 31. Advertisement But when the calendar flipped to June, Soto caught fire. He entered Wednesday's contest slashing a scorching .315/.485/.685. He now has 10 home runs, 18 RBI and 22 runs scored in 23 games this month. In addition to making Mets history with a historic June and surpassing Foxx for multi-homer games before the age of 27, Soto also recently joined Mickey Mantle and Mel Ott in an exclusive club. He's now one of only three players in baseball history with 1,000 hits, 200 home runs and 700 walks before turning 27 years old. Soto picked up his 1,000th career hit against the Braves on June 19. Despite Soto's hot streak, the Mets have gone cold this month. Just two weeks ago New York held a 5.5 game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East. But the team has lost 10 of its last 12 games, a span that included a seven-game losing streak. The skid cost the Mets control of the division as the Phillies overtook them for first place. New York closes out its four-game series against the Braves Thursday hoping for a 2-2 split. Grant Holmes will take the mound for Atlanta while the Mets send out Griffin Canning.
