For the first time in 328 days, Tomas Nido squatted behind home plate and stepped up to bat for a game in Queens. “It's been a long time,” Nido said before play Friday. “Feels like it.” The time away made Nido appreciate this opportunity more. Perhaps it also did some good for his bat. Tomas Nido was all smiles after his solo home run.

The Mets (13-12) dropped the first game of a seven-game homestand mostly because Jose Butto missed a few times, and the Mets' offense continually missed in important moments. 3 DJ Stewart strikes out to end the Mets' loss to the Cardinals on Friday.

After an offseason that saw Steve Cohen take a different approach to what the fanbase is used to, the Mets likely aren't going to win a World Series or be buyers at the deadline. However, Cohen does plan to spend money in the 2024-25 offseason, which could make them a team that adds a piece or two at the deadline if the right trade comes up. Factor in that New York could
