David Lennon Newsday Edwin Diaz's best weapon might be his experience. "He’s a different person since arriving from the Mariners in the winter of 2018...'One hundred percent,' Diaz said Monday.

NY Post:
- Mets’ Jeff McNeil now ‘in a good place’ after disappointing 2021 season - “I think in ’18 I had the same swing the whole year. You can go back and watch video from Opening Day in the minors to the last day in the big leagues, and for the most part it’s pretty damn close,” McNeil told The Post. “I think this year, it’s just if you have a bad game, don’t change anything.”
- Francisco Alvarez keeps showing off power to Mets prior to demotion -"the 20-year-old catcher who is 1-for-4 with a homer this spring, swatted a couple doubles in the intrasquad game. Alvarez was sent down to minor league camp later Monday."
- Eduardo Escobar delivers message to Mets’ prospects about journey to MLB - "Escobar, in his first season with the Mets on a two-year, $20 million pact, volunteered to speak to the Mets’ minor league camp Sunday in a scene that manager Buck Showalter understood to be 'some kind of special, borderline tear-jerker.'"
