Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 01:42:48 GMT

PITTSBURGH — The Mets had to part ways with clubhouse favorite Tommy Hunter on Saturday, which was a difficult decision for all involved and now leaves a different decision for the veteran right-hander.Will the 36-year-old continue playing if he’s claimed off waivers, or will he retire?The Mets designated Hunter for assignment on Saturday after he pitched in back-to-back games and gave up four earned runs. The Mets needed fresh arms for a beleaguered bullpen and the Mets were able to get two from Triple-A Syracuse by using Hunter’s roster spot and optioning left-hander Zach Muckenhirn, who pitched 2 1/3 innings in Friday’s loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.Muckenhirn wouldn’t be able to pitch for a few more days and the Mets are still reeling from having to use six pitchers Thursday night in Atlanta. The Mets recalled right-hander John Curtiss and left-hander Josh Walker.“Everybody has history with Tommy, so it’s tough,” manager Buck Show...

WASHINGTON (AP) — China has been operating a spy base in Cuba since at least 2019, part of a global effort by Beijing to upgrade its intelligence-gathering capabilities, according to a Biden administration official.The official, who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the U.S. intelligence community has been aware of China’s spying from Cuba and a larger effort to set up intelligence-gathering operations around the globe for some time.
