Good Morning. Happy Birthday Cookie Rojas. Jacob deGrom to pitch today against Houston at 1:05, and Matt Harvey struggles in O's debut, and Shohei Ohtani hits 100 MPH.
Section Links: Mets Links, MLB Links, and This Day in Mets History.
The Mets' 6:30 p.m. game tomorrow against the Astros -- Jacob deGrom's spring debut -- has officially been moved to 1:05 p.m. to avoid some nasty incoming weather in West Palm Beach.

Martino SNY.TV: Mets Mailbag: On Luis Rojas'
future, the luxury tax, and Noah
Syndergaard's timeline. Regarding Luis
Rojas Andy had this: “He wasn't their pick, but he’s not a lame duck, either.
Alderson has great admiration for Rojas as a person and felt that he had earned
a chance to show he can handle the job in a full season. If he performs well,
he’ll stay. But he’s definitely being evaluated by the new leadership.”

Abriano SNY.TV: Predicting the Mets' 2024 roster: Prospects, trades, free
agents, and keepers, Danny sees Francisco
Alvarez and Pete
Crow-Armstrong on the club along with Pete Alonso, Jeff McNeil, Michael
Conforto, Brett
Baty as the DH, and Matt
Chapman coming via Free Agency and Jose
Berrios being acquired in a trade.

CC Sabathia says Marcus Stroman is 'dark horse' Cy Young Award candidate.

Puma NY Post: What made Mets have to have reliever Sam McWilliams. “What
did the Mets see in McWilliams, who is attempting to earn a bullpen job this
spring? Mainly somebody who had improved his mechanics while replacing his
two-seam fastball with a four-seamer, increasing his velocity a few ticks into
the 95-96 mph range.”

Here is yesterday's Spring Training Scoreboard.
Orioles.com:
Harvey struggled in his O's spring debut on Friday, allowing three runs on four
hits in two innings in a 13-4 loss to the Blue Jays at TD Ballpark. Harvey
yielded a two-run double to Randal Grichuk in the first and an opposite-field
homer to Danny Jansen in the second, throwing 26 total pitches and hitting as
high as 94 mph on the stadium radar gun. Harvey hit a batter and did not record
a strikeout.

Ken
Davidoff NY Post: A minor league baseball revolution is coming. Ken spoke
to Gary Green, the CEO of Alliance Group and it’s co-founder Larry Botel who
own multiple minor league teams and Baseball America. “Botel said. ‘Minor
League Baseball hasn’t acted like a professional league. Not taking advantage
of media dollars and Internet platforms to generate revenue. We think that
Major League Baseball taking us over will start to open the door to a lot of
those revenue streams…’”

2016 - The Commissioner's
office overturns the two-game suspension handed to Dodgers IF Chase
Utley for a dangerous slide that
injured the Mets' Ruben Tejada in last year's NLDS.
The decision is because the rules regarding
sliding at the time were too vague; they have since been strengthened.
