Puma NY Post: Mets’ Carlos Carrasco glad he received vaccine while in remission.
“The Mets right-hander, who is in remission from leukemia, said he missed the
first week of workouts on the advice of his doctors, who suggested additional
measures. ‘They just want to make sure my heart is fine, my leukemia is fine,
so that is why the delay a little bit,’ Carrasco said Saturday, a day after his
first workout with the team.”
SNY.TV:
Mets' Carlos Carrasco is healthy and hopes to throw 180 to 200 innings this
season.
"They said I'm glad you're here on this team. We don't have to face you anymore."

Madden NY Daily News: Aaron Boone, Luis Rojas among the managers on the hot
seat heading into 2021 MLB season. “We do not know yet about Cohen’s
patience level, but even though the three-peat NL East champion Braves also
spent a ton of money on improvements this winter, one suspects the new owner is
going to be extremely unsatisfied if the Mets don’t at least get into the postseason
— no easy task playing in the toughest division in baseball.”
Mets.com:
Cohen's presence energizes Mets at camp. “Rojas credited Cohen for
increasing the energy around the complex, given both his enthusiasm for
baseball and the changes he has made to the roster…’He was going to every other
field just to see the guys doing fundamentals and then taking BP,’ Mets manager
Luis Rojas said. ‘It’s great to have him around. … I’m looking forward to his
presence more and more in camp.’”
NY
Post: Mets’ Francisco Lindor crushes homer during BP session. “Francisco
Lindor has arrived with some pop. The Mets star shortstop crushed a home
run to deep center field off Taijuan Walker during a live batting practice
session on a back field.”

Joel
Sherman NY Post: MLB must stop punishing top prospects. “So in the next
collective-bargaining agreement, those incentives [teams delaying Major League
Service time to extend player control] must be eliminated. You know why?
Because this is not just a player issue. This is a baseball issue.”
NY
Post: MLB adding plexiglass to help limit COVID-19 spread. “…a large piece
of plexiglass behind the netting...The protocols call for a “buffer zone”
between the field of play and fans in attendance. The zone around the dugout
must be at least 12 feet, measured from the front of the dugout roof closest to
the field.”
