The New York Mets are waving the white flag early, shipping left-handed reliever A.J. Minter to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for prospects Bruin Agbayani and Billy Amick. Minter was in the final year of a two-year, twenty-two million dollar deal, and with the Mets sitting in last place, sources say this could be just the first move ahead of next Monday's trade deadline.
Shifting to Washington, Day two of Commanders training camp brought more headaches for Jayden Daniels. The offense couldn't find its footing against a defense that brought everything but the kitchen sink, and the injury report isn't helping — center Nick Allegretti strained his calf, and receiver Treylon Burks sat out with a sore foot. Daniels looked fine, but he's running out of targets.
And a quick word on what's not news — a viral video claiming to show Caitlin Clark knocking down a Golden State Valkyries player is completely fabricated. Fact checkers confirm it's AI-generated, built around real footage from a May twenty-second game in Indianapolis. Clark had no such altercation, and the player involved is not Angel Reese. Don't believe everything your feed serves you.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
