It was a long road that took a significant turn in 2020, but right-handed pitcher finally made his Major League Baseball debut on April 9, 2024.

With the New York Mets game postponed, we've decided to throw up a quick game chat for the Triple-A Syracuse Mets game.

The New York Mets have already finished their series with the Atlanta Braves earlier on Thursday, but all four of their full-season affiliates are in action, including Triple-A Syracuse on SNY at 6:35 p.m. ET.

Polymers that degrade on demand have the potential to facilitate chemical recycling, reduce environmental pollution and are useful in implant immolation, drug delivery or as adhesives that debond on demand. However, polymers made by radical polymerization, which feature all carbon-bond backbones and constitute the most important class of polymers, have proven difficult to render degradable. Here we report cyclobutene-based monomers that can be co-polymerized with conventional monomers and impart the resulting polymers with mechanically triggered degradability. The cyclobutene residues act as mechanophores and can undergo a mechanically triggered ring-opening reaction, which causes a rearrangement that renders the polymer chains cleavable by hydrolysis under basic conditions. These cyclobutene-based monomers are broadly applicable in free radical and controlled radical polymerizations, introduce functional groups into the backbone of polymers and allow the mechanically gated degradation of high-molecular-weight materials or cross-linked polymer networks into low-molecular-weight species.

On Wednesday, Mets prospect Nolan McLean pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings for the Brooklyn Cyclones, and on Friday he homered in his first start of the season as a DH. Luisangel Acuña continues his hitting streak as Syracuse wins again, while the remaining affiliates falter. Triple-A Worcester Red Sox (4-8) 2, Syracuse Mets (7-5) 4 […]

On Tuesday night, the Mets got strong starting pitching at every level of their system. From in Triple-A to in Class-A, Mets starters had great nights across the board.

On Wednesday afternoon, the New York Mets announced that they’ve claimed right-handed pitcher Michael Tonkin off waivers from the Minnesota Twins and designated lefty Tyler Jay for assignment. Tonkin started the season in the majors with the Mets before he was DFA’d on April 5 and then traded to the Twins for cash four days […]
