Last night, Kodai Senga threw live on Instagram.  

NY Post: ‘Japanese ace’ Kodai Senga will be talk of Mets this spring. "In an effort to get a jump on understanding Senga, pitching coach Jeremy Hefner, bullpen coach Dom Chiti and director of pitching development Eric Jagers traveled to Seattle within the last two weeks to watch the right-hander throw and to begin building a rapport with him...Senga was accustomed to pitching once a week on a regular day...throwing 135-140 pitches in each outing."

MLB Trade Rumors: Mets To Sign Michael Perez To Minor League Deal. "Perez will give them an experienced option to have in Triple-A should they need it at some point. If he gets back onto the roster, he still has an option year remaining and will give the Mets some roster flexibility."

SNY.TV: Mets have four prospects make MLB Pipeline Top 100 list for 2023, Francisco Alvarez falls to No. 3. Others on the list: 3B Brett Baty: No. 21; C Kevin Parada: No. 36; OF Alex Ramirez: No. 96.

  • Mets 2023 projections: Max Scherzer.  Brian Joura once again does an excellent job noting: "Father Time is undefeated and the thing with older pitchers is that they can fall off the cliff at any moment. Just because Scherzer has been outstanding in his last 35 starts doesn’t mean he will continue to pitch at an elite level."  His projection for Max: "183 IP, 2.58 ERA, 0.915 WHIP, 203 Ks, 16 HR".  I will sign up for that.
