Mets drop series to Angels as bats stay quiet in disappointing start to road trip
ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Mets didn’t lose a series in July, but the heat at the start of August made it a struggle.

Several Angels insiders suggested superstar Shohei Ohtani would have stayed with the Angels if the team had accepted the $700 million, 97 percent guaranteed offer it offered to the four finalists. The Dodgers, Giants and Blue Jays are known to have accepted championship offers, but the Angels did not. “That’s the word,” Angels All-Star Tyler […]
Reds’ Jonathan India, Angels’ Luis Rengifo could be Yankees fits
The Yankees are investing in their pitching, especially their relief pitchers, but there are only two pitchers who are position-appropriate — Jonathan India of the Reds and Luis Rengifo of the Angels — and it’s pretty questionable whether either of them can play anywhere in the infield. India is in top form and his leadership […]
