New York Mets officially announced the signing of Tommy Pham to a one-year contract. LHP Tayler Saucedo was been designated for assignment to make room for him on the 40 man roster.  Pham, who will turn 35 in March, had 17 HRs, 63 RBIs, .236/.312/.374 - .686 OPS while splitting time in Cincinnati and Boston.

NY Post: Keith Raad expected to be Howie Rose’s new partner in Mets’ radio booth.  "Keith Raad, who grew up a Mets’ fan on Long Island and is currently the voice of the Single-A Brooklyn Cyclones, has emerged as Audacy’s choice to replace Wayne Randazzo, according to sources."

I had the pleasure of interviewing Keith a couple of years ago for a different site.  Being the Cyclones play-by-play guy since 2018 has made him extremely knowledgeable about the Mets minor league players.  He will be a great asset to the Mets booth.  Click here for part one and part two of the interview

SNY.TV: Carlos Beltran, Billy Wagner not elected to Baseball Hall of Fame as part of 2023 class. Both former Mets failed to meet the 75 percent threshold; Scott Rolen the only inductee.

1980: The Mets' new owners are formally introduced to the local media at Shea Stadium's Diamond Club.
