New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor has been named a finalist for the National League MVP. 

After a rough start to the season, Lindor was one of the men responsible for the Mets major turnaround which ended with a NLCS appearance, which is the farthest the Mets have gone since the 2015 World Series appearance.

Lindor this season had a batting average of .273, 33 home runs, and 91 rbi’s. Lindor also produced many clutch moment’s throughout the season, most notably a two-run homer in the ninth against the Atlanta Braves to clinch the Wild Card.

The NL MVP Finalists are Francisco Lindor, Ketel Marte, and Shohei Ohtani.

Despite missing the postseason, Marte put up a .292 batting average, 36 home runs, and 95 rbi’s. Ohtani, a former two-time AL MVP, had a historic season with being the first player to hit 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases. Ohtani had a .310 batting average, 54 home runs, and 130 rbi’s

The question to ask is who will walk out with the NL MVP.

After the New York Yankees lost the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-1, the question is now where Juan Soto will end up.

Juan Soto, 26, has been titled as the number one target for many teams to chase after during free agency. Soto, a four- time all-star, played with the Washington Nationals from 2018-2022, with whom he won a World Series with in 2019, and played with the San Diego Padres from 2022-2023.

Many teams looking for the services of Soto are the New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays, and the Phillies. The Yankees are looking to re-sign him, and the World Series champions Dodgers are looking to add him to their already stacked roster.

Soto had a pretty fair postseason with 4 homeruns and 9 total RBI’s. Soto also hit a homerun in game 2 of the World Series.

Teams are ready to offer Soto contracts that are around in the range of more than 600 million dollars. These contracts would make him among one of the most highest players in the league.

 

Do The Jets Turn it Around After First Win in Five Games

by | Nov 2, 2024 | Football

The Jets win their third game of the season, and break their five game losing streak against the Houston Texans. 

The Jets started the first half roughly, not being able to score a single point in the first half. Rookie Malachi Corley committed a very critical mistake when he dropped the football at the one-yard line before entering the endzone. 

In the second half is when the Jets all of a sudden came to life, when they were able to score three touchdowns, Aaron Rodgers had one of his best games this season going 22/32 with 211 yards and three touchdowns.

Garrett Wilson caught for 90 yards off of 9 receptions and two touchdowns. Wilson caught his first touchdown off a one-handed catch and ran it in the endzone. His second touchdown marked a spectacular potential catch of the year candidate that included a one handed catch in the endzone that almost did not count. After reviewing the catch, his shin hit the endzone, thus counting the touchdown.

Davante Adams caught his first touchdown as a New York Jet. Adams caught 91 yards off of 11 receptions. Adams at one point exited the game after being injured off a play.

The Jets the next few weeks have the Cardinals, Colts, Seahawks, Dolphins, Jaguars, Rams, Bills, and Dolphins once again left on their schedule. Considering the record of some of these teams. The question is if the Jets can take advantage of the situation to make a potential playoff push.
