Good Morning. Happy Birthday Jose Vizcaino. The Mets are confident they will agree with Lindor and Conforto as the clock ticks, Mets release Tommy Hunter, and Matt Harvey makes the O's.

No Mets
Game yesterday. The
Mets will take on the Nationals tonight at 6PM. David Peterson on the mound. We will have coverage here later today on Mack's Mets.
Tim
Healey Newsday: With the clock ticking
on Lindor and Conforto contract talks, Mets are prepared to spend big. "’We have plenty of capacity,’ team president
Sandy Alderson said in a recent interview…’But always having options and
maintaining that flexibility is important’… In Alderson’s view, even the
richest organizations must pick their spots. ‘Big-market teams typically have
more choices available to them,’ Alderson said. ‘But you still have to be
patient, you still have to be discerning. And you also have to have an eye on
the future.’”
One week until Opening Day, and @JonHeyman tells @MandMWFAN he thinks chances of a Mets/Lindor extension are still "better than 50/50." pic.twitter.com/pIKasQSfJa

Rob
Piersall MMO Exclusive: Marcus Stroman Talks Baseball, Life, and Everything
In-Between. Among his comments on the off season moves was this: “Like I
said, we have a ton of depth, I’ve never been on a team that has this much
depth. I walk out of the clubhouse, Mallex Smith, Kevin Pillar, Albert Almora jr, it’s crazy man and these are just additions to what
we already had. To the Conforto’s,
to the McNeil’s,
to the Nimmo’s,
these are all additions so I love our squad and I’m very confident in every
single one of our guys and I’m excited to play with all of them.”
SNY.TV:
Could Mets get a Noah Syndergaard extension done using Lance McCullers' deal as
roadmap? McCullers,
27, agreed to an extension worth $85 million over five years that will start
with the 2022 season, per multiple reports…While Syndergaard
has more upside than McCullers, he is a year older and is coming off Tommy John
surgery (whereas McCullers already successfully returned from the procedure in
2020 after missing all of 2019).
Amazing
Avenue: Dominic Smith will continue to make his impact felt—on the Mets and in
Major League Baseball—in 2021. His defense probably won’t be great, but the
Mets are still very lucky to have Dominic Smith on their team.
Mike
Puma NY Post: Dave Eiland tip led to Jacob deGrom’s Mets star turn. “…at
spring training in 2018…As camp began that spring, Dave Eiland, then the new
Mets pitching coach, spoke with Jacob deGrom and delivered a message that
resonated with the right-hander as he strived toward improvement: Don’t
overcomplicate things.”

The Mets announce they've released reliever Tommy Hunter, who had an opt-out clause in his contract. That's one less bullpen candidate.
