Good
Morning. Happy Birthday Travis Taijeron and Ali Sanchez. Sandy will be the GM this year, George Springer goes to the Jays, and Dominic Smith voted a Top Ten LF.

As we had
yesterday on Mack’s Mets: Mets Fire Jared Porter.
Joel
Sherman NY Post: It’s on Sandy Alderson to lead Mets from Jared Porter disaster.
“Sandy Alderson now has to take over the day-to-day running of the Mets’
baseball operations until next offseason. He needs to bring stability,
integrity and success to that department, making it so attractive that come
October or November, the best candidates will line up to interview as opposed
to what happened this most recent time.”
"This is not something we're going to tolerate as an organization"

Did Sandy Alderson speak to any women regarding Jared Porter's character prior to hiring him as GM?

Before his firing, Mets GM Jared Porter had become involved in negotiations for RHP Trevor Williams, who was non-tendered by the Pirates. Could be further rotation depth if the Mets remain involved post-Porter.

Mets were in pretty strong on Kike’ Hernandez when they had a GM. Hard to say where things stand now. Red Sox are among others in but his versatility means he fits lots of teams.

Brian Joura Mets360: Mets 2021 projections:
Jacob deGrom. “One of the lousy things about the shortened 2020 MLB season
was that it robbed us of a full season of prime Jacob deGrom.” Brian’s Projection –
“210 IP, 2.61 ERA, 275 Ks, 50 BB, 23 HR”.
That would be great.

1984: The Chicago White Sox claim 39-year-old pitcher Tom Seaver from the New York Mets as compensation for the loss of free agent pitcher Dennis Lamp to the Toronto Blue Jays. The Mets left Seaver off their protected list assuming (wrongly) that no team would want to select the aging star, who finished 1983 with a 9-14 record and a 3.55 ERA. But Seaver will improve to 15-11 with the White Sox this season.
