Mets manager Terry Collins missed today’s game due to illness and will remain in a Milwaukee hospital overnight for observation and further tests, ESPN’s Adam Rubin writes. Collins left Miller Park around a half-hour before the start of today’s Mets/Brewers game, with bench coach Dick Scott serving as interim manager in the 5-3 Brewers victory. Collins was already feeling a little better just before leaving for the hospital, though it isn’t yet clear if he’ll be ready to resume his duties on Tuesday when the Mets host the Pirates. We at MLBTR wish Collins a quick recovery and hope to see him back in the dugout soon. Here’s some more from around the NL East…
- The Marlins have explored the trade market for veteran relief pitching, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports, though they don’t have much to offer teams in return. It’s no surprise that the Fish are looking for bullpen help, with Carter Capps and Bryan Morris both lost to season-ending injuries.
- Also from Jackson’s piece, he writes that the Marlins aren’t yet overly worried about Giancarlo Stanton’s struggles and feel the outfielder “is simply [in] a slump.” Stanton has 12 homers but only a .192/.299/.415 slash line over 225 PA, with a whopping 79 strikeouts.
- There has been lots of buzz about Bryce Harper’s next contract crossing the $500MM threshold, though as Sportsnet’s Naoko Asano writes, some factors beyond pure baseball value could determine the final number, such as the terms of the next CBA or if broadcasting rights contracts stop growing over the next few years. That latter factor could be particularly noteworthy given how the Nationals’ MASN broadcast revenues are limited by their ongoing dispute with the Orioles, though that hasn’t stopped Washington from making a number of big signings that contain deferred money.
- Matt Belisle’s minor league rehab assignment can’t continue past June 22, so the Nationals will soon have a decision to make in their bullpen, MLB.com’s William Ladson writes. Belisle went on the DL with a calf strain near the end of April and has been rehabbing at Double- and Triple-A for the better part of three weeks, and MLB pitchers can only spend up to 30 days on rehab assignments.
- The Mets loaded up on pitching in this year’s draft, a strategy Ken Davidoff of the New York Post wonders is the first step towards the Mets shopping Matt Harvey this offseason. There has been a lot of speculation that Harvey won’t re-sign with the Mets when he hits free agency after the 2018 season, so bolstering the system with young arms could allow the Mets to consider trading Harvey if they feel they have enough pitching depth.

By the end of NEXT season I could see Stanton on one of the following teams: Tigers, Blue Jays, Dodgers, Pirates, Cardinals, Red Sox, Diamondbacks. Long list, I know. But teams that can afford him financially and have the assets and one team (Diamondbacks) who are willing to make big moves.
tigermr1
He has a no trade clause
angrypoptart99
Would love to see the jays replace jose bautista with him, and resign edwin encarnacion. I do think stanton beeing traded to the jays is unrealistic. Even with those numbers everyone knows he has mad power so he is not gonna be cheap
MB923
Pirates can afford him? I assume they have or will have a huge TV deal
padam
If Wheeler comes back strong, Harvey is gone. I’m sure teams like the Dodgers, Astros, and Red Sox can offer up the prospects to get it done.

Now see if you all can figure out who any one on either one on list are . I think you will be surprise who is who
MB923
“I think you will be surprise who is who”
I would be surprised if anybody can even read any of that and put it together. Exactly how much time did it take for you to make that?
bravesfan88
It is a bit difficult to read, but excellent, excellent job!! Well done bud, and yeah the hate on Teheran is real lol…
He has turned the corner this year, but those who don’t actually watch him pitch only have stats to go by…Teheran has consistently been a guy to out pitch his advanced metrics, but of course people just assume he is lucky and will regress…
He has been one of the better pitchers this year, and each game he goes out and shuts down the opposition. And we are also talking a out a kid that is only 25!!! He isn’t even in his prime yet, and is still learning his craft. He will get even better, and I think this season is easily just a sign of things to come!!
TBaggins
I’m assuming English is not your first language.
cjh815
The reason I did it was because all you stat geeks through out number and I’m old school guy and decide to through your number back at you to show you that you all don’t realize who is who if you didn’t see names and you just had to look at there number and try to figure out who you think are best pitchers truly are the media and the radar gun doesn’t make you great pitcher so take time look at numbers and if you want to know who each of them truly are then I post the answers
PhilliesFan012
Your grammar is absolutely atrocious.
tennreed
The numbers are still the numbers, they tell the story regardless of the names those numbers are attached to. Your point is moot…you can look at those numbers and see who is good and who is not; the player’s names should not really come as a surprise if someone really is a stat geek, as you put it…because those numbers don’t exist in a vacuum; they ARE attached to a player’s name. And what exactly does old school mean anyway? You mean like a scout looking at a player and saying he will be a superstar? Because I’m sure we all realize that the eye test is a test that more often than not fails miserably…which is the reason statistical analysis began in the first place…so again, I’m not really sure what you are trying to get across with the ridiculously long list of numbers you posted, but I think you may need to rethink both your argument itself and the way you presented it.
cjh815
Take time scroll down each row it not hard it just take iq and attention spand . bigger and longer then 5 year old to do so
MB923
You’re becoming worse than bigpapi4ever
jleve618
At least he makes me laugh. Between the formatting and the grammar all I see is someones wasted time with this. I’d have to get out a pen and paper along with some aspirin to decode that.
O Conchobhair
I take it you’re being ironic referring to old ‘school’?………..
Selkies
Woah, I’m not touching that.
cxcx
The Mets drafting pitchers this year in no way would lead to an increase in likelihood of them trading Harvey soon as those pitchers won’t be ready to contribute soon. It maybe increases the likelihood they won’t re-sign him in the years, but it was already unlikely they’d re-sign him.
LordBanana
You’d think baseball writers would know how long it takes to develop prospects and the coin flip they are anyways. Any GM that worked like that would be out of a job fast.
williemontanez
Marlins need to trade Stanton and give that money to Fernandez
