Metsmerized:

Mike's Mets: How much is enough? "The Mets did so much to improve this off-season. Is it terribly greedy to wish they had done just a little more?"

Mets360: Mets 2022 projections: Jeff McNeil. Brian Joura projects: .299/.364/.459. (Subscription required). 



Amazing Avenue: One Last Move: Trade for Chad Pinder. The A’s utility man is probably available via trade, and he can play almost anywhere.

Amazing Avenue: Travis Blankenhorn just needs a shot. "A fringe prospect of some interest, Blankenhorn is ready for a major league opportunity he probably won’t get."

Amazing Avenue: Nick Plummer looks for his shot with the Mets. "A former top prospect, Nick Plummer is in the perfect place to make his major league mark."

1973

The Cardinals play three Cruz brothers, Cirilo, Hector, and Jose, all nine innings in the outfield during the team’s 9-2 spring training victory over New York at Al Lang Field. The trio Puerto Rican siblings, who personally outscore the Mets, bat first, second, and third in the Redbird’s lineup, making all three outs in the first and eighth frames.

1978

The Mets deal 34 year-old Bud Harrelson to Philadelphia for cash and minor league call-up Freddie Andrews, an infielder who will never play another game in the major leagues. The popular shortstop, as a 12-year veteran, could have vetoed the trade but chose to go Philadelphia to play for a contending team.
