says that Gil Patterson is no longer being considered for pitching coach. Jeremy Hefner is still a strong candidate.
In regards to MLB’s plan to cut minor league teams starting
in 2021:
SNY.TV
continues to float possible trade ideas for Starling Marte. “Scout No. 1: Marte for Francisco Alvarez,
Kevin Smith, and Franklyn Kilome; Scout No. 2: Marte for J.D. Davis and Thomas
Szapucki; AL exec: Marte for Dom Smith, Gimenez, and David Peterson;
Except for the Mack’s Met crew, not many are saying a Marte
trade (especially one which gives away the Mets top prospects) is a bad idea Yesterday,
Mike Freire of Mack’s Mets had a great piece about Who is Starling Marte?
Besides Mike’s take – lots of great comments from the Mack’s Mets faithful
including Mack - “I'm not 100% on trading a chip away for a 30+ year old
centerfielder that sold his Gold Glove on Ebay.” Dallas - with his defense trending downward
and his offense seemingly behind our current crop of OF's this would seem like
a really really really bad trade.”
Matt
Cerrone talks to scouts about the MLB chances of the 4 Mets Players recently
protected in the Rule 5 Draft.
Andres Gimenez – 100%; Thomas Szapucki – 90 percent; Jordan Humphreys –
75%; Ali Sanchez – 30%;
Reflections
on Baseball asks why the Mets or Yankees are not looking at Rick Porcello. “The
2016 Cy Young award winner…who has averaged 30 starts or more with just under
200 innings pitched over the past eleven seasons.”
Reflections
on Baseball also asks if Matt Harvey can make a comeback. “There’s a team
out there still willing to take a flyer on Harvey, with the Yankees reportedly
at least considering a minor
league offer.”
Mets Daddy
talks about the Mets bringing back the black jerseys. “With the Mets soon
to embark on the 20th anniversary of that 2000 pennant, there seems to be a
recent push to bring back those jerseys.”
Much to Howie Rose’s chagrin.

Only
one game in the Dominican last night.
No current Mets played.
But Juan Lagares DHed, went

Lagares -2.)
No Australian games for the next
few days.
