With a close pennant race, there are several enticing dates for Mets fans in the second half. It also includes some big events, returns and matchups.

The New York Mets used their first pick in the MLB Draft to select a two-way star. And on Thursday, they signed him to a value deal. The slot value for the No. 38 pick was $2.569 million. The Mets signed Mitch Voit for $1.75 million.

New York Mets star Francisco Lindor seemingly had a good time at All-Star Weekend in Atlanta, and he trolled Braves fans on his way out.
