Danny Abriano SNY.TV: Pros and Cons: Should the Mets sign Justin Verlander? If the Mets lose Jacob deGrom, should they target Verlander? Danny asks "Would it be ideal to have a 40-year-old [Verlander] and a 39-year-old [Scherzer] at the top of the Mets' rotation as they attempt to win a World Series, which would of course require both Verlander and Scherzer pitching deep into October and possibly into November? Perhaps not."

NY Post: "Former Mets outfielder Chuck Carr, who played in New York in 1990 and 1991, died recently at 55. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Carr was battling health issues, according to family social media posts."

Mike's Mets thinks that "Hiring Eric Jagers is a smart move that could pay big dividends in the future" in his latest Post "Small Things".

Tim Healey Newsday: LI's Lorraine Hamilton, longtime Mets exec, inducted into NY Baseball Hall of Fame

Luckily the event was held in Troy, NY - just North/East of Albany.  Lorraine talked about her first meeting in the early 2000's with Tom Seaver where she had to go over his appearance schedule.  He told her that before they discussed anything that she had to go get him a Heineken.  She then had to walk up two flights of stairs to get him one from the Diamond Club.  When she came back he asked 'Where's the glass?" Apparently that was just one of Tom's little pranks he used to play and Lorraine went on to say that Tom and Mike Piazza were Hall of Famers both on and off the field.

Bobby Ojeda and Tommie Agee were also inducted,  Tommie Agee's daughter gave a very inspirational speech about Tommie's struggles in the minors and how Tommy John would not stay in a segregated hotel because Tommie was not allowed to stay.  The two rented a car, ate chicken and slept in the car until the game the next day,
