Brian Joura Mets360: Billy Eppler on Francisco Alvarez making the team in 2023. Talking about Billy's comments this past Wednesday about Francisco Alvarez, Brian again makes lots of good points including this - "And the thing that irked me about that quote from Eppler is that how often Alvarez catches should have absolutely nothing to do with the multipurpose ability of Guillorme and McNeil. The primary thing that should matter is the relationships that Alvarez can forge with the starters."
Billy Eppler announces that the Mets will pick up the following team options for 2023:

MLB.com: Toughest decisions for each team ahead of Rule 5 Draft. For the Mets they mention "Jordany Ventura, RHP (No. 20 Mets Prospect) On stuff alone, the 22-year-old righty is someone you’d want to keep around. He flashes decent velocity at 93-95 mph, and his mid-80s changeup got a healthy amount of whiffs this season at Single-A St. Lucie. Unfortunately, however, he’s managed 8 2/3 innings since 2019 due to the pandemic (2020), Tommy John surgery (2021) and a pectoral strain (2022). Rule 5 teams have done weird things in the past by selecting oft-injured pitchers and stashing them for a year, and that could be a strategy here, should the Mets leave him unprotected."

comment, several newspapers and internet sites report the Mets' new ballpark
will be known as Citi Field. The deal with CitiCorp, the nation's largest
