Mets News and Morning Links - 1/10/2023

 



Good Morning.  Happy Birthday Kelvin Torve, Jim Lindeman, and Kevin Baez.  Carlos Correa rumors continue, Ronny Mauricio continues to hit in Winter Ball and the Mets sign Tim Locastro to a minor league deal.

While some reports say that the Mets and Carlos Correa are in agreement on a deal that just needs the Major League Players association to approve, other reports say that talks with the Twins are "accelerating".

Dan Hayes and Ken Rosenthal The Athletic: Carlos Correa, Twins accelerate talks as deal with Mets remains in limbo. "Two club sources said Monday that talks between the Twins and Correa have begun to accelerate. A separate major-league source confirmed the development as well." (Subscription required)

MLB Trade Rumors: Rosenthal and Hayes reiterate that the Mets are not necessarily out of the bidding. The Athletic characterizes discussions as “fluid.” It’s the firmest indication yet, however, that Correa to the Mets no longer appears an inevitability. Minnesota seems very much back in the mix.

MLB Trade Rumors: Mets, Tim Locastro Agree To Minor League Deal. "After a decent two-year stretch in Arizona that saw him bat .260/.367/.370 in 332 plate appearances (thanks in no small part to being plunked by pitches a whopping 26 times), Locastro has combined to slash .181/.257/.275 in his past 202 trips to the plate."

  • Mets Add a Burner "The Syracuse, New York native spent 2021 and 2022 with the Yankees before the bombers granted Locastro his Free Agency."

Former Major League Catcher J.P. Arencibia announced on Instagram that he has been hired as the new Syracuse Mets Bench Coach.
