Billy Eppler talked to the Media at the GM Meetings yesterday - 

NY Post: Mets’ Billy Eppler made pact to ‘stay in touch’ with Jacob deGrom after opt-out

Tim Healey Newsday: Mets hire minor-league pitching guru. "The Mets believe they have found their Jeremy Hefner for the minor leagues. They hired Eric Jagers, who had been the assistant pitching coach with the Reds, as their director of pitching development, general manager Billy Eppler announced Tuesday. Hefner, the pitching coach on the major-league staff, participated in the interviews of all the candidates for the position, according to Eppler."

Yesterday the Mets announced that they have picked up Daniel Volgelbach's Option.





Jon Heyman NY Post: Trea Turner free agency splash makes little sense for Mets. "Not only is it probably not worth gambling $300 million or so that he’d be as good a center fielder as he is a shortstop, more to the point it seems like quite a long shot that he’d eschew nine or more other opportunities to remain an All-Star caliber shortstop to try a new position..." 

Jon Heyman NY Post: Mets’ Edwin Diaz contract was not an overpayment
