As we had yesterday on Mets News and Links: "The Sporting News named Buck Showalter the National League Manager of the Year. Showalter became the third manager in Mets history to be named The Sporting News NL Manager of the Year of the Year, joining Gil Hodges in 1969 and Terry Collins in 2015....In addition, Jeff McNeil and Edwin Díaz were named to The Sporting News NL All-Star team. Selected by a panel of NL executives..." 

Mets.com: Here's a rundown of Silver Slugger finalists. 5 Mets are finalists.  Pete Alonso 1B, Jeff McNeil 2B, Francisco Lindor SS, Brandon Nimmo and Starling Marte OF; 

SNY.TV: Mets free agency and trade buzz: Rockies interested in Brandon Nimmo. "The Colorado Rockies have Brandon Nimmo on their "preliminary list" of free agent targets, reports Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post. Saunders notes that estimates he has seen predict that Nimmo will ink a five-year deal worth roughly $115 or $120 million."

Danny Abriano SNY.TV: How should Mets go about rebuilding starting rotation for 2023? Danny considers these variables - If deGrom is back (that May allow them to allocate funds to Nimmo and/or Diaz); If deGrom leaves (they may go after a Justin Verlander or Carlos Rondon - or more offense from an Aaron Judge or Trea Turner).

Andy Martino SNY.TV: Steve Cohen: Billy Eppler 'in charge,' Mets won’t seek to interview David Stearns now. Stearns stepped down as the Brewers' president of baseball operations on Thursday and moved into an advisory role.

1961

Three thousand spectators witnessed the ground-breaking ceremony for the $18,000,000 Municipal Stadium in the Queen's Flushing Meadow Park. The future home of the Mets and the NFL's Titans, expected to ready for Opening Day in 1963, will be known as Shea Stadium in honor of Bill Shea, the lawyer who helped bring back the National League to the Big Apple.

2002

After being unable to get permission to talk to Lou Piniella from Seattle and deciding not to wait ten days after the World Series for the availability of Giant skipper Dusty Baker, the Mets give Art Howe a four-year, $9.4 million deal to manage the team. New York's new skipper led the A's to a pair of AL West championships (2000, 2002), with his teams winning 383 games during the last four seasons, matching Joe Torre's Yankee total.

Baseball Reference:

2015: The Royals take Game 2 of the World Series, 7 - 1 over the Mets, behind an outstanding performance by Johnny Cueto, who pitches a two-hitter. Eric Hosmer drives in two runs to put Kansas City ahead in the 5th and Alcides Escobar adds a run-scoring triple. It's the first complete game by an American League pitcher in a World Series game since Jack Morris's masterful performance in Game 7 of the 1991 World Series.
