NY Post: Steven Matz’s Mets tenure done in by fastball tweak. “I got a little carried away last year,” Matz said on a Blue Jays Zoom call. “I was starting to throw a little harder, stuff like that, instead of really going back to what I did coming up through the minor leagues all the way to my big-league career. (I’ve) just (been) working on that fastball command.”
Brian Joura Mets360: Sandy Alderson and breaking the trend of bad bullpens. Brian says his "opinion of Sandy Alderson is higher than a lot of the people reading this" but also notes this: "On the flip side, during his previous Mets tenure, he was too often passive when it came to making moves to improve the roster, relegated defense to a back-burner issue and generally assembled rotten bullpens." (Subscription required).
Mike's Mets: Not on the Trevor Train. Mike does a great job covering all this bases on Trevor Bauer including this "Much of Bauer's recent success is based on increasing spin rate...if MLB really started cracking down on pitchers using sticky stuff to achieve higher spin rates, will we see his own spin rate come back down?"

The Mets avoid salary arbitration with John
Maine (10-8, 4.18) when both sides agree to a $2.6 million, one-year
deal. The 25 year-old right-handed starter, who missed the last five weeks of
the season due to an injury to his pitching shoulder, is expected to play a
significant role this year in the team's pitching rotation. |
1962 - The New York Mets sign Gil Hodges for $33,000. The veteran first baseman had been languishing on the Dodgers' bench for the past two seasons.
1984 - After failing to trade him, the New York Mets give
veteran slugger Dave Kingman his release.
Kingman hit .198 with 13 home runs last year, but will find a new home as designated hitter with the Oakland Athletics, hitting 35 home runs this
year, ranking second behind American League leader Tony Armas, who will finish with 43.
January 30, 1984: The @Mets give Dave Kingman his unconditional release. “I'm not bitter,” Kingman told the media. “It's not unexpected. The handwriting was on the wall when they got Keith Hernandez.” #MetsRewind #LGM pic.twitter.com/YJJBQNcgsx
