Jacob Resnick posted a number of great videos from little known Mets minor league pitchers.  Raimon Gomez's post is below but reccomend the entire thread.


Mets360: Robinson Cano could create a problem for the Mets. "At 39 years old and having missed the entire 2021 season owing to a second positive performance-enhancing drug test, Cano is set to make $20.25 million that will count against the Mets luxury tax in 2022, according to Spotrac. For most teams in MLB today and for the Mets under previous ownership, not starting a player making that much money is simply not an option. But that may very well be one that Showalter needs to make." (Subscription required).

Mets Daddy: Mets Roster Still Feels Very Incomplete.

Faith and Fear in Flushing talks about how Ralph Terry taught Tub McGraw the "Screwball" in "Left’s Go Mets"

Amazing Avenue: Eduardo Escobar gives the Mets some options in their infield.

Amazing Avenue: Jeff McNeil could be a big piece for the 2022 Mets.  Still hanging onto a tenuous roster spot, McNeil could still be a valuable asset for the 2022 Mets.

1962

In the first meeting between the two New York clubs, the Mets defeated the World Champion Yankees in a spring training game with a dramatic walk-off 4-3 victory at Al Lang Field. Casey Stengel, the former skipper of the Bronx Bombers, now the expansion team's manager, clearly wanting to beat his old club, calls upon veteran Richie Ashburn, who delivers a ninth-inning pinch-hit single for the Amazins'.

1962

Roger Maris declines to pose with Mets coach Rogers Hornsby because the veteran had criticized him in the recently published autobiography, My Wars with Baseball. In the book, the 65-year-old Hall of Famer dismisses the Yankees slugger as a mediocre hitter who couldn't bat .400 even with all of his averages added up.

Baseball Reference:

1963 - The New York Mets, who finished last in the National League with a 40-120 record in their inaugural season, purchase pitcher Carl Willey from the Milwaukee Braves. Willey will boost a pitching rotation that includes Roger Craig, Al Jackson and Tracy Stallard. The Mets will improve to 51-111 this season.

1997: The New York Mets, loaded with middle infielders, add two more, acquiring shortstop Manny Alexander and third baseman Scott McClain from the Baltimore Orioles. The Mets give up hard-throwing reliever Hector Ramirez in exchange.

2015 - Yankees prospect Jose Pirela runs into the center field fence at full speed in trying to chase down a drive off the bat of the Mets' Juan Lagares. He suffers a concussion and has to be taken to hospital, but escapes more serious injury. Meanwhile, Lagares circles the bases with an inside-the-park home run.
