Anthony DiComo Mets.com: “by the later innings of that game, an entirely different unit had taken the field. At shortstop was top-ranked prospect Ronny Mauricio. At third base was third-ranked prospect Brett Baty. Fifth-ranked prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong was in center, seventh-ranked Khalil Lee was in right, and eighth-ranked Mark Vientos was at first.” 

Mets to play the Marlins this afternoon at 1:10.  It will be shown on WPIX 11 in NYC.  Marcus Stroman to make the start.




















Joel Sherman NY Post: Mets’ George Springer what-if filled with intrigue: “I love Lindor’s game and persona. Having him and Carlos Carrasco makes the Mets better. But was there another way to go? Was Springer the better short- and long-term play overall considering what else could have been done with the personnel/money? I cannot shake how much I like Andres Gimenez as a player. He is not Lindor. But I would bet on his skills and precocious savvy to be an above-average shortstop with cost-friendliness for six years.”

Ken Davidoff NY Post: Secret behind Jacob deGrom defying the velocity odds. “'If I knew how to keep increasing it, I think I would keep trying to increase it even more,” a smiling deGrom said on Saturday after his outing...I honestly think that it’s being more comfortable with my delivery. … For me, it was really learning my delivery and being able to repeat that. For me, it’s trying to stay as smooth as I can on the mound.'”
