ALLEGEDLY, Steve Cohen is to sign an agreement at some point today to take majority ownership of the Mets which will be approved at the November owners meeting.

The odds of the Mets making the playoffs decreases by the day, but there are some things the Mets could do to help themselves over these next two weeks.

Steven Matz has come off of the injured list while Drew Smith has been banished to the land of Brooklyn.

Jeff McNeil’s early departure from Sunday’s game was attributed to “gastrointestinal discomfort.”

Around the National League East
