Overview
- Bartolo Colón replied on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, that he “might have more in the tank” after the Mets celebrated the 10th anniversary of his lone MLB home run.
- Fans flooded the replies urging a return, with some tagging owner Steve Cohen to sign him for fun or to help the club.
- The Mets are 14-22 and rank 14th in the National League in scoring at 3.67 runs per game.
- The pitching staff has allowed 4.33 runs per game despite an MLB-high $357.6 million Opening Day payroll.
- Injuries to Francisco Lindor, Luis Robert Jr., Jorge Polanco, and Kodai Senga and talk about manager Carlos Mendoza’s job set the scene, and Yahoo Sports framed Colón’s tease as levity rather than a real roster plan.
