New York Mets

According to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York , the Mets have acquired outfielder Jorge Padilla from the Toronto Blue Jays and sent him to Triple-A Buffalo.

No word yet on whom the Mets are sending to Toronto to complete this trade.

NEW YORK-- Unless these two teams meet each other in the World Series, this will be the final time they face one another until 2011. The Yankees and the Mets are playing their sixth and final game against each other today, with the season series hanging in the balance. The Mets can win the season series from the Yankees for the first time since 2008, or the Yankees can earn a split.

As of June 19, the Mets are sitting at 39-28 and a half a game behind first place in the NL East. 

Barring a typical late season collapse, the Mets are in good position to make some noise this season.  Guys are finally starting to get healthy and the usually horrendous pitching staff is sixth in the league in ERA and saves. 

One of New York's biggest Mets fans will be working with the team he adores in the broadcast booth for the Mets vs. Yankees game. Jerry Seinfeld will be the guest of honor for three innings, replacing Ron Darling for a bit. This was first reported by the New York Post's Michael Starr .

According to Starr, this is all a Fathers' Day gift to Jerry from his family. The television sensation will definitely be pleased to be a part of a Mets broadcast for the first time.

NEW YORK-- For the first time since August 29-September 30, 2001, the Mets have put together a 24-game run of at least 19-5. No, it didn't even happen in 2006, when the Mets ran through the National League. That just shows you how hard it is to pull off this kind of feat.

The Mets will try to improve to 20 out of 25 today.

Since John Maine left the rotation for the DL, the Mets have led the league in wins, going 19-5. Why? The rotation leads the league during the same stretch of time with the lowest earned run average.

With John Maine coming back from the DL soon, everyone is wondering whether Jerry Manuel will leave Takahashi in the rotation and ask Maine to go into the bullpen, or the reverse.

NEW YORK-- Now we can say that the Mets are an elite team, and a force to be reckoned with. After winning six consecutive road games against teams that they should beat in the Orioles and Indians, the Mets not only went into Yankee Stadium and beat the Yankees for their eighth straight win and seventh on the road trip, they shut them out.

Almost everyone was predicting the Mets to lose this opening game, and that starter Hisanori Takahashi would get rocked hard. Neither of those happened, as Takahashi for the second time this season, shut the Yankees out over six innings.

People can keep telling themselves "oh, it's only one game," but soon the doubters will have to accept the fact that the New York Mets are a legitimate threat in 2010.

They shut out the Yankees for their third straight victory over their cross-town rivals on Friday night, and the Mets are putting more weight behind the idea that their road sweeps in Baltimore and Cleveland were no fluke.

Fans across the New York area absolutely love the twice annual, “Subway Series,” pitting the Mets against their crosstown rivals the Yankees.

With the Arizona Diamondbacks sitting at 26-41 and 12.5 games out of first place in the NL West, it is obvious that they will be sellers when the trade deadline arrives.

The Diamondbacks have already started trading players. They swapped Connor Jackson for minor league reliever Sam Demel on July 15.

Another player that the Diamondbacks are rumored to be looking to move is Kelly Johnson.
