New York Mets fans look at big-name rumors the way you check the forecast in April. You want to buy in, but you’ve been fooled enough times to keep a “just in case” hoodie in the car. Still, when Kyle Tucker’s name is mentioned, it hits a little different.
Part of it is the messenger. Will Sammon has developed this funny habit where he’ll casually float a “hey, keep an eye on this” type of note… and then a few days later the league does the thing. He’s been circling teams and players in a way that feels less like rumor soup and more like a gentle heads-up.
