Paxton will take no hitter to the 9th in Toronto.

Dylan Bundy faced 7 Royals. 2 walks, 5 hits- 4 homers.

If Adolfo has Tommy John in September, when is he ready to play again as an outfielder?

Mesoraco is active for the Mets and in uniform in Cincinnati tonight.

Funny deal. Glad that chapter is closed. Reds need a catcher?

Good. Can’t believe the Mets got that much, but not our problem.

https://mobile.twitter.com/NYPost_Mets/status/993960866231013376 Soooo Kevan Smith? Welington Castillo, but we get more back?

Happy he isn’t being called up yet...if it’s a done deal. I wouldn’t put it past them to put off an announcement as long as possible...say Thursday.

Ah, ok. I was late to the party here.

If Eloy was coming up, wouldn’t they just do it now? It’s gotta be about a pitcher.

Granted he ended up having a bad rookie season, but Brandon McCarthy debuted at Wrigley in May, 2005, and he didn’t do too badly. I’m hoping they wait until next year for both he and Jimenez and get the extra year for both, but it’s not happening.

Rosenthal says the Mets are confident they’ll trade him. I can’t imagine what teams are offering. If the Sox are offering anything, what? I can’t even guess it has to be so minimal.

Unlikely, but not ridiculous. If the Sox go 4-14 the next 18 before they’ve played one game against the Indians, I think they have it in them. .360 ball the rest of the season gets them at 56-106. There are three teams that could lose 100+ this year, and probably will.

I’m sure the Indians will have a great record, but I don’t think any team should be gifted a top-3 seed based on geography and having three rebuilding garbage teams in a 5-team division.

Nah. If the Sox have to rely on a bad division to make the playoffs, then just have a lower league like soccer, or whatever the hell they do.

I gave Renteria credit for having players that show up and try to win. He’s done a better job than Robin in that department. But the front office needs to be very careful about who they think can get this team over the top when the talent level is close to contention.

Just some of the comments made by Kopech about what he’s looking forward to in the next month, and also Hahn talking about him...and his season up until today...and the Sox need for quality innings. Maybe today’s start moves that back for now.

Jeanmar Gomez has got to be antsy to get back to the big leagues.

Probably true, but it seems like they’re leaning toward bringing him up soon. Might as well get him working with Coop. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind if they waited until next April/May for both Kopech and Jimenez to get the extra year, but probably won’t happen.

I’m not as anti-bunting as some, but that was downright dumb with Engel up next.

Indians 17-17, 7-2 in the crap division. Eliminate divisions, play a balanced schedule.

5 innings in 1:10. Buehrle special.

Call your sons, call your daughters...oh wait it’s only 4 innings.

Polo and Collins K Jimenez double, because that’s what he does!
