NY Post: Steve Cohen: Mets ‘left it all on the field’ in failed Yoshinobu Yamamoto pursuit. “I think the whole organization tried our hardest, and someone was going to win and someone was going to lose and that is the way it goes,” Cohen said, interrupting a Caribbean vacation. “I feel good about our efforts and I left it all on the field. Life goes on.”
NY Post: How Mets can build out rotation after Yoshinobu Yamamoto snub. Lucas Giolito, Shōta Imanaga and Sean Manaea are some of the proposed alternatives.
Jon Heyman NY Post: Yoshinobu Yamamoto whiff more disastrous for Mets than Yankees.
NY Post Sports+: How pitch-data technology helped inform the Mets’ ill-fated $325M bid for Yoshinobu Yamamoto. “When teams see spin rate and vertical drop, then it’s not, ‘Oh, sure, he struck that guy out because it was a Japanese hitter,’ ” said former Mets manager Bobby Valentine, who had two stints managing in Japan and still visits the country regularly to scout players. “It’s more like, ‘He struck him out because it was a quality pitch on the computer,’ and that’s how things are viewed these days.” (Subscription required)
