Jon Heyman NY Post: Steve Cohen expected to have Mets in thick of Shohei Ohtani bidding. "Cohen, reached via text, responded to an Ohtani inquiry this way: 'Hard to think about next year. I’m focused on this season'...the Dodgers, Giants and Padres will once again likely join the incumbent Angels in The Ohtani Derby...the Dodgers loom as the other biggest threat. ”

Empire Sports Media:
- Mets’ Brett Baty earns fascinating projection for 2023 season - quoting Keith Law in the Athletic who says that “'The Mets should just give him 500 at bats this year, as there’s nothing left for him to learn in the minors, and he’s by far their best option there (at third base). He has the raw power for 30 homers, but I think he’ll be more 40 doubles/20 homers with OBPs well above .350.'”

1947 - Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan is born in Refugio, Texas. Ryan will make his major league debut in 1966 with the New York Mets, kicking off a major league record 27-year career. He will win 324 games with the Mets, California Angels, Houston Astros, and Texas Rangers.
1962 - The Mets sign former slugger Ralph Kiner, who joins Lindsey Nelson and Bob Murphy in the announcing booth.
1969: The National Association approves the use of the Designated Hitter for the International, Eastern, Texas and New York-Pennsylvania leagues. The rules vary slightly for each league. The Texas League will be the first to use the DH, in April. The American and National leagues agree to try experimental rule change in spring training using a designated pinch hitter, but they don't agree on the implementation. The AL tells the teams to use the DPH when they are the home team; the NL gives the home manager the choice of which rules to use, but the visiting manager has to agree. The Mets, Giants, and Cardinals say that they will not use the rules, and the Astros and Reds follow suit.
