Mets Notebook: Jose Quintana likely headed for more rehab starts before making team debut

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 15:10:59 GMT

Jose Quintana has been eager to start his season. But his timeline may not line up with the timeline the Mets have in mind.The left-hander, who underwent bone graft surgery on his left rib during spring training, made a rehab start Sunday with Single-A Brooklyn and was hoping he would only have to make one more. But the Mets would like to see him increase his pitch count to about 75, and to do so, he’ll need to work in about 15-pitch increments. This would mean two more rehab starts instead of one, and a post-All-Star break return for the veteran southpaw.This might be news to Quintana, who was hoping the Mets would let him get to 70-77 in his next rehab start.“I’ll look into it, but 70 seems a little ambitious,” manager Buck Showalter said Monday at Citi Field before the Mets opened a seven-game homestand. “But I’m not handling that rehab. He may know exactly what it is. I’d be surprised.”Quintana isn’t sure yet whether he’...

Kennedy a ‘common sense guy’ according to theoretical rival Trump

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 15:10:59 GMT

The apparent scion of the Kennedy political family is a good man whose heart is in the right place, according to the person ostensibly running against him for the White House in 2024, former President Donald Trump.Kennedy, arguably the dark horse candidate for the Democratic nomination, was the closing topic of conversation for the former president when he joined Radio Hall of Famer and Herald columnist Howie Carr for a brief interview Monday.“Just hang in,” Trump advised his potential opponent, before praising the man. “He’s been very nice to me, I’ve actually had a very nice relationship with him over the years. He’s a very smart guy, and a good guy.”Trump is by far and away the leading candidate in the Republican field, consistently polling more than twice what any other conservative White House hopeful can claim.Kennedy, on the other hand, has the benefit of name recognition but is without support in the party he courts for the nomination. The mass of Democrats have lined up beh...

Major studios drop out of Comic-Con: report

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 15:10:59 GMT

SAN DIEGO -- San Diego Comic-Con International is reportedly dealing with more cancelations from several major Hollywood studios. Marvel Studios was the first to cancel their appearance at the premier Comic-Con event known as Hall H, and now HBO, Netflix, Sony and Universal have all bowed out, Variety reports.“I’m curious more than fearful,” Jamie Newbold, owner of Southern California Comics, said to FOX 5 on Monday. Comic bookstore sellers say this might be a different type of year -- one that could bring a little more attention to the reason the convention started in the first place. “Whatever goes into Con now, if it’s centered on more of the comic book legacy realm, it’s all fun for me,” Newbold said. 9-year-old signs six-figure NIL deal with sports agency The cosplay, toys, video games and of course comic books will be wall to wall as usual, but without a signature franchise dominating Hall H, experts say this year might spread fans more widely. “Being an exhibitor there, it ...
