The One That Escaped To The North. “But if you had told me after Steve Cohen and all his money took over the
Mets that they would go 0-for-3 in the room with JT Realmuto, Trevor Bauer, and George Springer, I would have told you that you were out of your
mind.”

Mets: Thoughts on George Springer and Jared Porter.
Joel
Sherman NY Post: “The Mets let Springer’s camp know over last weekend that
they were willing to go to six years at $120 million, but no further. At that
point, the Mets were pretty much out of contention, as Springer headed toward
the six-year, $150 million pact he reached Wednesday with the Blue Jays.”

Sherman NY Post: Mets’ next GM will need to have extensive MLB contacts. “’One
of the things we will be lacking is sort of the same breadth of contacts and
information that we were able to get through Jared’” Alderson said on a Tuesday
conference call. ‘Jared has lots of contacts in the game — not just at the GM
level, but at the assistant GM level and below. That’s a rich source of
information and can lead to smaller deals that fill out our roster. That is an
area we are going to have to pick it up.’
Jeff Passan is really, really pissed at the "irresponsible" WFAN hosts who suggested that ESPN sat on the Jared Porter story for four years.

Trade Rumors: Astros To Re-Sign Michael Brantley.
Robinson Canó intends to join Águilas for their upcoming Caribbean Series berth. Canó previously played eight games for Estrellas in the Dominican Winter League, batting .353 with three home runs.
— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) January 20, 2021
Águilas will play against the champions from P.R., VZ, Mexico, Colombia & Panama.
For me, the player to watch in Mexico is Sebastian
Elizalde who the Mets signed as a minor league free agent before the 2020
season. He had 11 HRs and 45 RBIs in 46
games during the regular Mexican Pacific season. Solid Left-Handed Power hitter. Here's hoping the Mets give him another shot
in 2021.
The
Final Series is also set in Venezuela as Caribes de Anzoategui beat Caribes
de Anzoategui 10-4. (Box
Score) Minor League Mets Pitchers Yeizo Campos and Jaison Vilera are on Caribes.
In the
other Game, Cardenales de Lara 11 Tigres de Aragua 2 (Box
Score). Ex-Minor League Met Cesar
Puello went 2 for 4 with a run score, walk, and a K. Cesar was one of the few players who played
in two different leagues this winter as he played in the Dominican prior to
Venezuela.

Mets for Kris Benson (10-8, 4.13). With Jae Seo dealt to the Dodgers for
