As we had yesterday on Mets News and Links: "Starling Marte underwent surgery Tuesday in Philadelphia to repair a core muscle injury sustained in the second half of this season. A typical recovery timeline is 8 weeks. He's expected to be without restriction in Spring Training." 

Andy Martino SNY.TV: Reminder: Mets will not be fighting Yankees for Aaron Judge. "Owners Steve Cohen and Hal Steinbrenner enjoy a mutually respectful relationship, and do not expect to upend that with a high-profile bidding war. The only way people involved can see the Mets changing course and pursuing Judge would be if the Yankees somehow declared themselves totally out of the bidding."

Danny Abriano SNY.TV: Ranking Mets' top 10 free agent targets for 2022-23 offseason. Danny has Edwin Diaz #1, Trea Turner #2? (Danny suggests the Mets should pounce if Turner is willing to move to 2B); Jacob deGrom #3; Brandon Nimmo #4; Jose Abreu #5; Justin Verlander #6; Chris Bassitt #7; Robert Suarez #7; Carlos Correa #9; Carlos Rondon #10;

The New York Post released their list of Top 30 Free agents: #1 Aaron Judge; #2 Jacob deGrom; #9 Edwin Diaz; #10 Brandon Nimmo; #15 Chris Bassitt; #21 Taijuan Walker; #28 Michael Conforto; #30 Adam Ottavino

Jon Heyman NY Post: "The Mets are believed less likely to sign free agents for which draft picks will be lost (the ones who have received qualifying offers). The Mets only say it’s part of the equation, but their build-from-within MO may value picks more than some others...In the meantime, the Mets will give the QO to Jacob deGrom, Edwin Diaz, Brandon Nimmo, Chris Bassitt and possibly Taijuan Walker. "

Brian Joura Mets360: My Podcast questions for Billy Eppler.  Once again Brian says the things that the Sportswriters don't with questions he would have asked Billy Eppler in the recent NY Post Podcast (link to Wednesday's Morning Links that included the Podcast).  Some of Brian's questions: "Compare and contrast Arte Moreno and Steve Cohen." "What’s the one key area where the team could be better in 2023?" "What can the Mets do so that their rookies can give a triple digit OPS+ or ERA+ in 2023 and moving forward?"

1963

The Cardinals trade outfielder George Altman and pitcher Bill Wakefield to the Mets for veteran right-hander Roger Craig. Next season, the hard-luck hurler, who has lost 20 games the last two years, will win Game 4 of the Fall Classic, beating the Yankees, for the World Champion Redbirds.

2004

The Mets introduced Willie Randolph as the franchise's 18th manager. The long-time Yankee second baseman and third base coach becomes the first black to manage in New York.

 

2013

The Mets and Clear Channel Media and Entertainment announce the launch of a five-year multimedia marketing partnership. WOR (710 AM) will become the team's flagship radio station, replacing WFAN (660 AM), which will now be broadcasting Yankee games after carrying the Amazins' for the past 26 years.
