Should both Kodai Senga and Brandon Nimmo want to be Mets, the organization would "at least be open-minded" to going beyond the financial point they expected prior to free agency.

- Wednesday catch-all thread (12/7/22)
- Mets replace Taijuan Walker with Jose Quintana - "His total line was a 2.93 ERA over 165.2 IP. And for people who value rotation diversity, Quintana is a LHP with a full arsenal of pitches and will give teams a different look compared to Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander and – should he make the rotation – Tylor Megill.

1961 | The Mets purchase outfielder Richie Ashburn from the Cubs. The veteran outfielder, who will be the club's first-ever representative on the National League's All-Star team, will be given a boat after being named the Most Valuable Player of the last-place team, which unfortunately will sink before he uses it. |
1983 | Southpaw Sid Fernandez is traded by the Dodgers, along with utility infielder Ross Jones, to the Mets in exchange for infielder/outfielder Bob Bailor and left-hander Carlos Diaz. 'El Sid' will compile a 98-78 record along with a very respectable ERA of 3.14 during his ten-year tenure with New York. |
2005 | Julio Franco, the oldest player in the major leagues, signs a two-year deal with the Mets. The 47 year-old is the last active player who was born in the 1950s. |
1976: The Cubs acquire OF Greg Gross from Houston for infielder Julio Gonzalez. Then in a three-team deal, the Cubs also get OF Jim Dwyer from the Mets for 1B Pete LaCock. LaCock then goes to Kansas City for OF Sheldon Mallory who goes to New York.
1977 - The Rangers engineer a series of deals with the Braves, Mets, and Pirates, unloading a total of six players and getting three in return. Among those involved are 1B Willie Montanez (from Atlanta to New York), Bert Blyleven (from Texas to Pittsburgh), Al Oliver (from Pittsburgh to Texas), and 1B John Milner (from NY to Pittsburgh).
2011: The 2011 Rule V draft is held to close out this year's Winter Meetings in Dallas, TX. Houston selects right-handed reliever Rhiner Cruz from the Mets with the top pick, one of 8 pitchers taken in the major league phase of the draft. Among the few well-known names selected is former top pitching prospect Aaron Poreda, drafted by the Pirates from the Padres in the minor league portion of the draft.
