Good Morning. Happy Birthday Terry Leach and Johan Santana. Mets get a starting pitcher, Jeurys Familia signs with Philly, and all players are to report to Spring Training today.

As we had last night: The New York Mets acquired starting pitcher, Chris Bassitt. Going to Oakland are Pitching Prospects J.T. Ginn and Adam Oller.
NY Post: Mets land A’s All-Star pitcher Chris Bassitt in rotation-boosting trade. "Bassitt, 33, went 12-4 with a 3.15 ERA in 27 starts last season, which included his first career All-Star appearance. He is entering his final season of arbitration eligibility and can hit free agency after the season."Bassitt Complete Game Shutout Highlights from May 2021! pic.twitter.com/WwqZsBvIxj

"It's all about 2022, and Bassitt is a major move to help them in terms of the depth in that rotation"@NYNJHarper reacts to the Mets' acquisition of Chris Bassitt from the A's: https://t.co/eBJrnvXvzf pic.twitter.com/rUnLrRxJDV

Turning Adam Oller into (part of) Chris Bassitt is a win for the Mets’ pro scouting and player development departments.

I’ll define bravery: that’s Jeremy Hefner (pictured equipment-less) standing in vs Scherzer just before the pitcher said “up and in.” News update: Hefner didn’t flinch and after 3 months negotiating, Scherzer showed he’s also still been working on his craft: he hit his spot pic.twitter.com/vhHDNfqFNR

Transactions:
New York Mets traded Mardie
Cornejo to the Detroit Tigers
for Ed
Glynn on March 13, 1979.
Detroit Tigers
claimed Shane
Halter of the New York Mets on waivers on March 13, 2000.
1979 |
The Tigers and Mets swap
relievers, with Detroit sending Ed Glynn to the Big Apple in exchange for
Mardie Cornejo, who, after posting a 4-2 record as a rookie last season, will
never play in another major league game. In contrast, the latest addition to
the New York bullpen will make 84 appearances, compiling an ERA of 3.53
during the two years with his new club. |
2001 |
Throwing 22 strikes out of 29
pitches over two innings of shutout ball in his surprise start against the
Mets at Roger Dean Stadium, Rick Ankiel makes his first appearance since the
2000 playoffs, in which he lost his control, throwing seven wild pitches in
three postseason appearances. |
2006 |
Three pitches into the top of the
seventh inning, the stadium lights at Tradition Field partially fail. With
fifty percent of the lighting not functioning, the exhibition game ends,
after a 15-minute delay, with the Mets leading the Nationals, 10-4. |
1969 - In addition to this year's lower mound and tightened strike zone, Major League Baseball tries an experimental ball with 10% more resiliency for a spring training game between the Mets and Tigers in Lakeland, Florida. It has an all-rubber center instead of a cork and rubber core, and the seams are higher than the regular ball. Mets pitcher Don Cardwell surrenders three home runs in the 4th inning to Dick McAuliffe, Norm Cash, and Gates Brown in the Tigers' 7 - 4 victory. Tomorrow, in Phoenix, Arizona, the same ball is used in the Giants' 13 - 1 win over the Angels, with Bobby Bonds hitting the only two homers off George Brunet. The players agree the ball is definitely livelier and sounds louder coming off the bat.
2001 - At spring training, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Rick Ankiel makes
his first appearance since the 2000 playoffs in
which he lost his control throwing seven wild pitches in
three postseason appearances. Ankiel throws 22 strikes out
of 29 pitches over two innings of shutout ball in his surprise start against
the Mets, but his control problems will
reappear within a short while.
3/13/1979 Johan Santana is born. After being traded to the Mets prior to the 2008 season, Santana led the majors with a 2.53 ERA and finished third in the NL Cy Young voting. In 2012, he threw the first no-hitter in Mets history.@johansantana pic.twitter.com/F1noxGFrk3
