SNY.TV: What's nextThe Mets host the Washington Nationals Saturday at Clover Park in Port St Lucie, Fla. The game is set for a 1:10 p.m. start on SNY.  David Peterson is the scheduled starter.








SNY on YouTubeTylor Megill on mixing pitch repertoire, not concerned about where he falls in rotation.



NY Post: Mets’ Seth Lugo embracing new mindset after taking care of ill son.  "For months the Mets reliever had understood his 2-year-old son, James, would need heart surgery. Initially Lugo and his wife Amanda thought that surgery would occur in October. When it finally happened in December, James Lugo’s recovery became his dad’s focus."

NY Post: J.D. Davis feeling healthy after injury-marred last season: ‘Night and day’. “'It’s night and day,' Davis said Friday before starting at third base against the Nationals. 'I’m able to at least control the barrel and … just go up there attacking the ball. Trying to look for pitches I can do damage on instead of trying to put the ball in play. It’s definitely a different mindset, a different approach. This spring training compared to [last] season is just completely 180.'” 

John Harper SNY.TV: Scouts and execs say Chris Bassitt gives Mets championship timber: 'He’s a bulldog out there'...'He’s a guy you’d feel good about starting a postseason game'.

Anthony DiComo Mets.com: Predicting the Mets' Opening Day roster.  No real surprises in the initial 28 man roster - he has Carrasco and Taijuan Walker in the rotation - no Megill or Peterson - 10 relief pitchers including  Drew Smith, Chasen Shreve, Alex Claudio, and Sean Reid-Foley.

Mets360: The Mets’ best off-season move was the one they didn’t make. Matt netter likes how they kept  Jeff McNeil, J.D. Davis, and Dominic Smith.  (Subscription required).
