Good Saturday morning.
The Puerto Rican Clemente League opened last night with some
former Mets farm hands showing up. Sam
Haggerty played last night in the Dominican.
We will get to those in a bit.
The Sign Stealing controversy will not go away.
The
NY Post has what Mets told Carlos Beltran about it. General manager Brodie
Van Wagenen has told Beltran the Mets will let MLB handle the electronic
sign-stealing scandal involving the 2017 Astros and Beltran, industry sources
told The Post on Friday.
North
Jersey.com has Joe Torre’s take on it.
Joe Torre as MLB’s chief baseball officer, oversees major-league
operations, on-field operations, on-field discipline and umpiring. But to be
clear, the former legendary manager, said “the other side of the office” is
handling the Houston case. He is not part of it, but said the news “is
disturbing to me.”
MLB.com
has Van Wagenen’s 3 pitching plans. Fill Wheeler’s spot from within, keep
Thor, Diaz is critical.
Speaking of Diaz, Metsmerized
has the 2019 Edwin Diaz Report Card.
Mike’s
Mets reviewed Tim Peterson. (He was
pitching this winter in the Dominican league but I have not seen him lately.)
MLB
Trade Rumors talks about MLB tweaking the Injured List Rule for pitchers. Hitters
will continue to have a ten-day minimum injury-list placement. Pitchers,
however, will go back to the prior 15-day placement if the rule is finalized.
Yahoo
Sports has the requiem for a LOOGY. Spearheaded by Commissioner Rob Manfred,
the coming rule in baseball will require pitchers to face a minimum of three
batters in an appearance or to pitch until the conclusion of the half-inning.
The
Mets Police talks about the Mets have yet to pay their share of the new arena
for the Islanders.

Mets
Minors talked about Andrés
Giménez and the relievers in the Arizona Fall League.
In Winter Ball Last night:
Sam
Haggerty had a tough
game, going 0 for 4 with three strikeouts.
If the Gameday cast is correct, they were all 3 pitch – 3 swinging
strike at bats. At least he is getting
some reps in. In 2 games so far Sam is 1
for 8 with a stolen base for a .125 average.
The
Liga de Beisbol Profesional Roberto Clemente got underway in Puerto Rico
last night. I did not see any current
Mets or Mets minor leaguers on the team, however, Ryan
O’Rourke formerly of the Syracuse Mets went 3 innings giving up one run in
one game and Hector
Santiago, also formerly of Syracuse, went 5 innings, no hits, no runs to
get the win in the other game.
