Deesha Thosar NY Daily News: Mookie Wilson, Bobby Valentine and Jeff Nelson sound off on MLB lockout: ‘It shouldn’t have gotten this far’. “It’s more of the same old same old,” Wilson said. “When you start pointing fingers, that’s the wrong thing. There’s always been a distrust between management and players. That’s not changing.”

At Faith and Fear in Flushing Greg Prince talks about the discussed 14-game playoff format in "The 162-Game Entrée".

Mets360: Tomas Nido could shake up the Mets catching corps. "In 2021 Nido was subpar as a hitter, putting up a .222/.261/.327 line...However, there were some extenuating circumstances. Nido was plagued by injuries to both his thumb and wrist, obviously those body components are critical to a batting swing. When he was relatively healthy, in May, he slashed .292/.340/.583 in 50 PA; the rest of the year, not so much."(Subscription required)
