Mets Morning News: Verrett struggles in loss as Mets wrap up 2016 MLB Draft

Meet the Mets

Logan Verrett's gem of a start last season in Colorado seems like a distant memory. He struggled mightily with his command and gave up three home runs Saturday, putting the Mets in a hole from which they couldn't dig themselves out. The Brewers will try to earn a series split this afternoon.

This year's MLB draft is over, and here's a list of everyone the Mets picked.

Around the Majors

This Date in Mets History

Fans don't remember June 12 especially fondly, and for good reason. On this date in 2009, Luis Castillo blew a Subway Series game when he dropped a pop-up that would've been the game's final out. The game-tying and game-winning runs came around to score, resulting in an improbable loss.
