Danny Abriano SNY.TV: If Mets go internal at DH in 2023, here's who they should turn to. "Alvarez, who slugged .537 against lefties and 558 against righties last season for Double-A Binghamton -- where he spent most of the season -- should be the DH when he's not behind the plate....Baty, who slugged .559 against righties and .486 against lefties last season for Binghamton...should be the DH when Alvarez is behind the plate even if a lefty is on the hill."

MLB Trade Rumors:

Joel Sherman NY Post: Mets in play for another top pitcher in case Jacob deGrom bolts. "So think of the Mets doing a Zoom meeting Tuesday with Carlos Rodon as keeping doors open. In the Mets’ own best scenario, they would leave this offseason with Jacob deGrom. But they wanted to make sure that should deGrom sign elsewhere, that they land Rodon or Justin Verlander to team atop their rotation with Max Scherzer. And if not that, perhaps Japanese free agent Koudai Senga plus then using dollars saved from not securing one of the big three starters to retain Brandon Nimmo."

Baseball America had talked about the Mets Prospects on Monday.  This included a prediction on the 2026 opening day lineup: Catcher Francisco Alvarez; 1B Pete Alonso; 2B Jett Williams; SS Francisco Lindor; 3B: Mark Vientos; LF Brett Baty; CF Alex Remirez; RF Ronny Mauricio; DH Kevin Parada; No. 1 Starter: Tylor Megill; (Subscription required)

1977

Dave Kingman, joining his fifth team this year, signs as a free agent with the Cubs. Sky King, put on waivers in September by the Padres after a midseason trade with the Mets was selected by the Angels, who dealt the much-traveled slugger to the Yankees a week later.

2007

The Mets trade highly-touted prospect Lastings Milledge to the Nationals in exchange for fly chaser Ryan Church and catcher Brian Schneider. Although the transaction helps New York fill its immediate needs behind the plate and in the outfield, the trade appears to favor Washington due to Milledge's perceived potential.

2012

David Wright, who signed an eight-year, $138 million contract in November, is named the captain of the Mets, joining John FrancoKeith Hernandez, and Gary Carter as the fourth player honored by the franchise.

Baseball Reference:

1965 - The Red Sox trade shortstop Eddie Bressoud to the Mets for outfielder Joe Christopher.
