MLB.com: Teams with the hauls in 2022 Draft: #1 Mets. "New York got more than [Kevin] Parada, a Georgia Tech catcher who was one of the best all-around hitters in the college class, and [Jett] Williams, a 5-foot-8 sparkplug beloved by scouts. The Mets concluded the first day with Tennessee right-hander Blade Tidwell (second round), a likely mid-first-rounder before he missed the first six weeks of the season with shoulder trouble, and Washington D.C. high school outfielder Nick Morabito (supplemental second), who combines hitting ability with plus raw power and speed. The hits kept coming afterward, including a power arm in Florida righty Brandon Sproat (third) and offensive upside in California prep third baseman Jacob Reimer (fourth)."

NY Post: Mets first-half report card: One stands above all the rest. The Post says that's Edwin Diaz: A+; Here are the article's A's - Jeff McNeil: A; Brandon Nimmo: A; David Peterson: A; Taijuan Walker: A; Pete Alonso: A-; Francisco Lindor? He gets a B, a low grade IMO.

New York Mets traded Jesse Gonder to the Milwaukee Braves for Gary Kolb on July 21, 1965.

New York Mets traded Wayne Garrett and Del Unser to the Montreal Expos for Pepe Mangual and Jim Dwyer on July 21, 1976.

National Pastime.com: 

1962
Craig Anderson throws a seven-hit, complete-game against Cincinnati, but New York cannot overcome Marv Throneberry's error which would have ended the fifth inning, allowing Vada Pinson to hit a two-out, two-run homer. The eventual 5-3 defeat at Crosley Field makes the right-hander the third consecutive Mets' starter, following losing efforts by Jay Hook and Roger Craig, to pitch a complete game and not get a victory.
1970
Ignoring Clay Kirby's bid for the Padres' first no-hitter in the 259th of their existence, San Diego skipper Preston Gomez, with his club trailing the Mets, 1-0, in the eighth inning, decides to pinch hit for his starting pitcher. Reliever Jack Baldschun fails to keep New York hitless, yielding a leadoff hit to Bud Harrelson, and San Diego eventually loses the Jack Murphy Stadium contest, 3-0. (Ed. Note: The Padres remain the only franchise without a no-hitter. LP)

1975
Mets' infielder Joe Torre becomes the first player in National League history to hit into four straight double plays in one game. Felix Millan singles in four consecutive at-bats against the Astros, making the dubious mark possible.


Baseball Reference:

1970 - Clay Kirby has a no-hitter going for eight innings, but with two outs in the 8th and trailing 1 - 0, Padres manager Preston Gomez lifts him for a pinch hitter, Cito Gaston. Gaston fails to get a hit off Mets starter Jim McAndrew, and reliever Jack Baldschun gives up two runs in the 9th. The Padres lose, 3 - 0. Gomez will repeat the controversial move on September 4, 1974.

1975: The Mets' Felix Millan has four straight singles but is wiped out each time when Joe Torre grounds into four straight double plays, tying a major league record. New York loses, 6 - 2, to the Astros.

1976: Montreal trades OFs Jim Dwyer and Pepe Mangual to the New York Mets for OF Del Unser and INF Wayne Garrett.  The Mets lose to the Reds, 4 - 0, on Fred Norman's four-hitter.

2018 - The Mets trade closer Jeurys Familia to the Athletics for two prospects and $1 million in international bonus money.
