Joel Sherman NY Post: Mets’ status as contenders relies on solving offseason puzzles.  Joel looks at each big question facing the Mets this year adding how Free Agent contracts are hard to predict.  Regarding Brandon Nimmo he states: "I talked to Nimmo’s agent, Scott Boras, this week and he was hitting hard on the scarcity of leadoff hitters and center fielders in this marketplace and Nimmo is both. I have seen comps to Marte’s four-year, $78 million pact and my hunch is it will be closer to double that."

Mike Puma NY Post: Retaining Edwin Diaz a Mets priority, but it will be costly.

Al Weis' timely ninth-inning hit, combined with the two-hitter tossed by Jerry Koosman and Ron Taylor, enable the Mets to even the Fall Classic with the Orioles at one game apiece. New York will win the next three games, all played at Shea Stadium, to finish their amazing season with a World Championship.
