Here's Francisco Lindor on why extension talks haven't started quite yet between him and the Mets (but they will soon): pic.twitter.com/3m1eQIyvt1

In a perfect second inning this afternoon, Sean Reid-Foley sat around 92 mph with his fastball with an upper-80s slider. Reid-Foley was one of three pitchers the Mets received from the Blue Jays in exchange for Steven Matz.

Here's pitcher Sean Reid-Foley (Today: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K) on his trade from Toronto to New York. The Mets are looking at him more as a reliever than a starting option at this point. pic.twitter.com/ygThCBYliD

Sean Reid-Foley on if he's been told what role he might be in this season:
— SNY (@SNYtv) March 1, 2021
"They want me more as a reliever but also be willing to cover innings out of the bullpen, not just a one-inning guy" pic.twitter.com/z5qAgDNr89
Luis Rojas on if he foresees Brandon Nimmo being the Mets' leadoff hitter this year:
— SNY (@SNYtv) March 1, 2021
"He's gonna be mainly hitting kind of up there, either leadoff or second, we'll keep him up there" pic.twitter.com/8MZPRqa4uC
"His leadership skills, it's been more than I expected...just natural leadership"

Thosar NY Daily News: Superstar shortstop Francisco Lindor is exceeding Mets’
expectations. “Lindor noticed Davis wasn’t using his “good hands” in a way
that would benefit his fielding at third base. The shortstop said Davis was
“putting himself in bad positions where his hands weren’t allowing him to
become a good infielder.” Davis accepted Lindor’s advice, and the team quickly
began to see a difference in his defense. Lindor credited Davis for working
hard and sticking with his practice because defensive drills can become
monotonous and boring at times.”

On George Springer, Sandy Alderson says it really came down to willing to go five years, but not six. He also adds, "had we signed Springer, probably less likely we'd be able to sign Conforto, for example."

during their collegiate season, voids the Braves' contract with USC standout Tom
Seaver, who had signed with Atlanta for a $50,000 bonus a week earlier.
The Mets will be awarded the future Hall of Famer's signing rights in a

"When he punched Keith
Hernandez in spring training last season, it was the only time that Darryl
Strawberry hit the cutoff man." - STEVE WULF, Sports Illustrated
journalist. At a photo session, Mets'
outfielder Darryl Strawberry throws a punch at Keith Hernandez, the team's
no-nonsense All-Star first baseman. The spring training scuffle started over
comments about salaries and results with the Straw walking out of camp. |
2005: Thirty-two
years after his death, Jackie Robinson receives
the Congressional Gold Medal in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington,
the highest honor Congress can bestow. The medal is accepted by Rachel
Robinson, his widow. Baseball is represented in a way by former Texas Rangers executive George W. Bush.
Robinson joins Roberto Clemente,
Joe Louis and Jesse Owens as the only athletes among about 300 Gold Medal
recipients. Following the ceremony, the Boston Red Sox are
honored at the White House for winning the 2004 World
Series.
2005: In the Washington
Nationals' first game since moving from Montreal,
pitcher Tony Armas, Jr. tosses
two hitless innings and Jose Guillen hits
a two-run home run as the Nationals post a 5 - 3 triumph over the Mets in the Grapefruit
League opener for both teams. The Expos played their first
regular-season game against the Mets in 1969 and their last game against the Mets on October 3, 2004. In the first regular-season game
between these franchises, Tom Seaver started for the Mets at Shea Stadium and Coco Laboy powered the Expos to an 11
- 10 victory. In their last meeting, Tom Glavine started
for the Mets at Shea Stadium and Todd Zeile hit a home run to deal the Expos an 8 - 1
defeat. Wearing their regular-season home uniforms instead of the traditional batting practice spring
training jerseys, the Nationals defeat Glavine this time.
