Newsday: How will Kodai Senga's skills translate from Japan to MLB? The article contains this quote from Billy Eppler: “'Let’s not forget there’s a lot of acclimation that comes with a pitcher coming from the NPB or coming from any foreign league. Our travel is different. Our strike zone is different. Our mounds are different. Our balls are different. And our hitters are different.'”

2000 | After trading their All-Star shortstop to the Mets last season, the Orioles get him back, agreeing to a two-year deal with free-agent Mike Bordick. The move will send Melvin Mora, the player obtained from the Mets to replace Bordick, to the outfield, where he is a stronger defensive player. |
2002 | After rejecting salary arbitration from the Red Sox, Cliff Floyd (.288, 28, 79), agrees to a $26 million, four-year contract deal with the Mets. The 30 year-old outfielder played with the Marlins, Expos, and Red Sox last season. |
2011 | The Mets announce they are eliminating their minor league team in the Class A Gulf Coast League, a move that could save the cash-strapped team between $750,000 and $800,000. Although the elimination of a farm team may appear to be a desperate act for the financially troubled franchise, New York was one of only three clubs to have as many as nine minor league teams. |
