The Washington Nationals will ban individuals after a banner promoting a white nationalist website was unfurled during a game. The banner, which included calls to 'SAVE AMERICA' and 'DEPORT 100+ MILLION', was quickly removed, and the team is cooperating with police.
The New York Mets have begun the 2024 season with a majors-worst 10-21 record, including a 5-4 loss to the Washington Nationals on Thursday. Despite carrying the second-highest payroll in baseball at approximately $380 million under owner Steve Cohen, the team sits in last place in the National League East. Their playoff chances have plummeted from 87% on Opening Day to less than 30%, with the team going 31-53 over their last 84 games. Manager Carlos Mendoza acknowledged the team's struggles, stating they need to start winning series.
