SNY.TV: Kodai Senga 'very excited' to pitch alongside Mets' aces, explains origin of 'ghost fork'. "'The reason why it's called the ghost fork, in Japan, the batters would see it, they would swing, but it's not there anymore,' he said through an interpreter. "

1982 | The Mets agree to a $10 million, five-year deal with George Foster, completing the trade with the Reds, which sent Jim Kern, Greg Harris, and Alex Trevino to Cincinnati. During his four-and-half-year tenure with the team, the All-Star outfielder proves to be a major disappointment and will be released outright during the 1986 season after accusing the club of racism for benching him in favor of Kevin Mitchell, a fellow African-American. |
1984 | After five months of discussion, the Mets and Keith Hernandez, who was eligible for free agency at the end of the season, come to terms on an $8 million, five-year contract. The deal makes the first baseman the second highest-paid player in franchise history, earning slightly less than George Foster's five-year, $10 million pact signed precisely two years ago. |
