Less than a day after facing ridicule online over a new sponsorship patch, the Mets announced on Friday their decision to go in a different direction ahead of debuting the rebranded jerseys. Except, the club’s plan may not exactly do it any favors when it comes to avoiding more criticism from MLB fans.
Mets general manager Steve Cohen addressed the commentary (and jokes) that went viral following Thursday’s unveiling of a buzzworthy, red and white uniform patch in partnership with New York-Presbyterian Hospital.

Over 235,000 Major League Baseball games have been played in the history of the league, but somehow the sport still manages to give fans things they haven’t seen before—or have rarely ever seen, at least. That was the case with the outing for Marlins starter Edward Cabrera against the Mets on Friday afternoon.
Cabrera was chased out of the game early, throwing 85 pitches in just 2.2 innings before exiting. He struggled to find the strike zone, throwing just 47 strikes on the day.
Phil Mickelson, who shot a second-round 69 on Friday and is 4 under after 36 holes at the Masters, said he’s “close to going on a tear.
Zion Williamson won’t be back from his hamstring injury in time to appear for the Pelicans in the play-in tournament. Williamson has been out since Jan. 2.
Forget about missing the cut at the Masters for the third consecutive year. At 12 under through two rounds, his focus is on winning his first green jacket.
As the Packers and Jets continue discussing a deal for Aaron Rodgers, the future Hall of Fame quarterback made noise on social media Friday courtesy of an intriguing picture with a former teammate and one of New York’s top offseason acquisitions.
An Instagram post shared by Proactive Sports Performance, a training center in Westlake Village, Calif., showed a shot of Rodgers being chased around a practice field by new Jets receiver Allen Lazard, his teammate for five seasons in Green Bay.
A disastrous second round sent Rory McIlroy sliding down the leaderboard and eventually out of the tournament.
Biaggio Ali Walsh competes later Friday in an amateur lightweight bout for the PFL.
It stands out as one of the most intriguing fights on the card. While he is not a household name, Walsh is the grandson of the legendary Muhammad Ali.
“It’s a great opportunity,” says the 24-year-old Walsh. “This is a chance to fight in Vegas, where I grew up. My friends and family are coming. I hope people tune in. It is going to be a fun fight.”
Walsh now has the chance to lay the foundation for his own success in the cage.
It’s not hard to imagine a future in which this past week is seen as one that changed women’s basketball.
The NCAA championship Sunday represented the biggest television audience ever for a women’s college game. It spurred discussion that kept going for days: The conversation about LSU forward Angel Reese and Iowa guard Caitlin Clark represented a rare instance of women’s basketball capturing sustained, mainstream attention (which made it all the more unfortunate that so much of the dialogue had to rebut ugly double standards around who gets to talk trash and why).
For the fourth time in their combat sports careers, and the second time in the UFC, Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya will face off against each other. Pereira is now 3-0 against the former champion, with two victories coming in the Glory of Heroes kickboxing promotion. In their last bout, “Poatan” once again was victorious, defeating “Stylebender” via stoppage in the fifth round to claim the UFC middleweight title. Despite his dominance over Adesanya, the oddsmakers at SI Sportsbook have Pereira (+115) as the underdog as he attempts to defend his title for the first time.
