The Mets held a zoom call yesterday with Adam Ottavino and Omar Narvaez.  There were a number of stories published about the conference about Mets still looking to improve, etc. but mostly Billy Eppler did not provide any new information.  Here are some of the key clips:

MLB Trade Rumors:

  • Post-Tommy John Players That Could Impact 2023 - Joey Lucchesi...made 56 starts for the Padres in 2018 and 2019 with a 4.14 ERA. He didn’t get much of an opportunity in 2020 and was flipped to the Mets as part of the Joe Musgrove trade. He isn’t one of the club’s five best starters right now, but their rotation features four veterans who are 34 or older...Also, Kodai Senga is making the transition from Japan...The club will surely need to rely on its depth this year at some point, making Lucchesi a key part of the equation.
