Ten years ago today, #Marlins ace José Fernández and two others died in a tragic boating accident.
Don Mattingly, Christian Yelich, A.J. Ramos, Justin Bour and Tom Koehler share memories of that day, week and months afterwards that still impact them.

To Howie Rose, who became the friend you didn't know you needed, and gave you a chapter in the book you didn't know he was writing.
And yes, it was you. Specifically you.

It’s no secret Howie Rose is a Beatles fan, and today was punctuated by the band’s greatest hits. I tried to use some of their lyrics to sum up his illustrious career.
I’m named after a Beatles album, I had to do it!

I’ve never known a Mets team without Howie, and I’m not ready to live in a world without him broadcasting their games :( His voice filled countless car rides and summer nights with my dad, connecting generations through the team we love. Goodness, what a privilege it’s been ❤️
"Just know that I love you all."
@HowieRose signs off from tonight's broadcast, which could be his final one in the Mets radio booth 🫶

Howie Rose says goodbye from the Mets on Sunday. He never had to leave New York to become a legend. No voice has ever better connected us to our teams and our home...and no voice ever will.

Imagine calling yourself a Mets fan and spending your August twisting numbers to try and convince people the best home run hitter in Mets history is cooked… 🤦🏻‍♂️
Pete's hitting the ball harder than any year of his career. 4th hardest in baseball. Walking more than ever. Playing better defense. All while he'll still likely post 30+ HR and 100+ RBI.
And that's before you get to what he is in a room. 162 games in back to back years and never takes a day off. Walked into a last-place clubhouse in Baltimore and became its center of gravity. Told reporters he probably didn't deserve an All-Star nod because his April was bad. Proven leader. Oh and that team is now only 1.5 games out of a wildcard spot.
Seven years. 264 homers. Franchise leader. Heart and Hustle Award. Homers for Heroes. Service dogs for veterans. Honored a hero after every single game of the 2020 season. Imagine watching all that and rooting for the whiff rate.
What a 🔧

Pete Alonso regression is already showing in Year 1 of that 5-year, $155M deal.
2nd-lowest SLG of his career (.463) — basically matching his career low of .459
2nd-lowest OPS of his career (.808)
Career-low ISO (.213)
2nd-highest BABIP of his career (.293)
3rd-lowest wOBA of his career (.351)
3rd-highest K% of his career (24.7)
2nd-highest Whiff% of his career (26.9)
2nd-lowest contact% of his career (74.7)
Bat speed by year:
2023: 75.7 mph (92nd)
2024: 75.2 mph (91st)
2025: 75.2 mph (89th)
2026: 74.6 mph (77th)
Steady drop, already out of the elite range, and the lowest FastSwing% of his career under 50% for the first time in his career (47.8%)
This is exactly why locking him up for five years at $155M was not the right move. The Mets were 100% right about letting Pete Alonso walk and he wasn't changing what happened this season!!!!!
