NY Post: Tylor Megill adds new pitch in bid to earn spot in Mets’ rotation. "The pitch is a cutter, which darts in against left-handed batters. The Mets right-hander began dabbling with the cutter during the offseason with the idea it would give lefty batters another factor to consider before extending over the plate against his tailing four-seam fastball.

New York Mets released Oliver Perez on March 21, 2011.

1965

In an exhibition game, Gary Kroll and Gordie Richardson combine to keep Pittsburgh hitless for nine innings in the Mets' 6-0 win in St. Petersburg. The first no-hitter thrown during the regular season in franchise history won't occur until 2012 when Johan Santana accomplishes the feat against St. Louis.

1973

In an exhibition game against the Mets, Fritz Peterson appears in his first game since going public about swapping families with Yankee teammate Mike Kekich. Many of the 4,320 fans at Al Lang Field in St. Petersburg roundly boo the 31 year-old southpaw, but he goes the first five innings, picking up the win in the Bronx Bombers' 6-2 victory over their crosstown rivals.

 

2011

Citing a lack of velocity and command, Mets GM Sandy Alderson announces the release of 29-year-old southpaw Oliver Perez, who is still owed $12 million on his deal. The roster move marks the second time in four days that the team has cut a player having a considerable contract, with second baseman Luis Castillo asked to leave despite his $6 million price tag.

2013

David Wright is named the Mets captain, joining John Franco, Keith Hernandez, and Gary Carter as the fourth player to be honored by the franchise. Like Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter and White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko, the two other current major leaguers to have the title with their club, the 30 year-old third baseman will not wear a "C" on his uniform.
