Mets.com: Carrasco's sore elbow not 'too concerning'.

NY Post: Carlos Carrasco in danger of missing start of Mets season. “After throwing live batting practice Monday, the Mets right-hander informed team officials of elbow soreness, and he will be shut down from throwing for “a few days,” according to manager Luis Rojas. Carrasco still has not appeared in a Grapefruit League game this spring. Rojas said Carrasco told him such discomfort isn’t new for him — he had experienced it in spring training during his Cleveland tenure.



Newsday: Mets now know what it feels like to win Game 7 of the World Series after '27 Outs' drill.  “The drill consists of coaches hitting the ball to a fully-manned defense and the defense recording 27 "outs" without making an error…the Mets were up to the task and were rewarded after 26 outs with a yelled-out call to make the last one the final out of the seventh game of the World Series. And to celebrate.”




MLB.com: Mets agree to terms with 15 players, renew 2 players. “The Mets renewed the contracts of infielder Pete Alonso and infielder Jeff McNeil”.

NY Post: Mets’ Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil won’t get money they asked for.  “Alonso and McNeil, who are not yet arbitration-eligible, have zero leverage in negotiations, but can seek any financial arrangement…Alonso and McNeil will be arbitration-eligible for the first time after this season.”

Mets.com: Florida school gets major gift from Lindor. “The Mets shortstop donated $1 million toward the construction of the state-of-the-art building, which will serve 203 middle school students. He also established the Francisco Lindor Scholarship Fund, which will provide selected current and prospective students with financial assistance to attend the Academy.”

90 Percent Mets: 2021 Mets X-Factor #1. Dancehall General looks at J.D. Davis and the lack of the DH in the National League.

Jacob Resnick SNY.TV: How close are Mets' top prospects to Queens? Predicting where 9 key minor leaguers will begin 2021. Thomas Szapucki and Khalil Lee - Syracuse; Matthew Allan, Mark Vientos; and Ronny Mauricio  – Brooklyn; J.T. Ginn, and Pete Crow-Armstrong – Gulf Coast Mets; Francisco Alvarez; and Brett Baty - St. Lucie;

I think missing last year to the pandemic may push some of these prospects forward.  Mauricio and Vientos could be in Binghamton.
