Mets Links: 

SNY.TV: Adam Ottavino talks year two with Mets, adjusting to new pitch clock. "I think It'll be good..."That's kind of what spring training is gonna be about, for me at least, with the clock. Just kind of understanding what mechanisms I have for when I do need to slow the pace down, how I can do that. For the most part, just getting comfortable pitching at a little bit of a quicker pace."

Here is more of what Adam Ottavino had to say:


Tim Healey Newsday: With security of long-term contract, Mets' Brandon Nimmo finally can relax. Tim talks about how Nimmo bought a new "Audi RS Q8, a fancy and expensive SUV"and "passed on participating in the World Baseball Classic...he considered suiting up for the Mike Piazza-managed Italy squad...Italy playing the first round in Taiwan made the logistics intimidating and ultimately prohibitive, Nimmo said." 

Here is more of what Brandon had to say:


Mike Puma NY Post: Keith Hernandez returning to Mets booth on three-year deal. "Hernandez, according to sources, has agreed to a three-year contract with SNY that will keep him in the booth as part of the longest-tenured broadcast trio in MLB history. Hernandez’s return was first reported Monday by Boomer Esiason on WFAN."

Barrettsportsmedia.com: Keith Raad Goes From Single A To The Show. “This brand has changed in the last few years and there’s literally no better time to be a Mets fan.”

Mike Puma NY Post: Mets spring training primer: Inside look at biggest stories to watch. "Most intriguing minor leaguer: Francisco Alvarez; Story to watch develop: Which hitters and pitchers will be most affected by the new pitch clock that will be implemented? Manager’s toughest challenges: Kodai Senga will be adjusting to American baseball after a standout career pitching in Japan’s Pacific League. Most notable absence: Jacob deGrom." plus more.

Jon Heyman: Steve Cohen now needs Mets’ financial losses to translate to wins on the field

The Brooklyn Cyclones announced their 2023 coaching staff: "Chris Newell, who served as the bench coach on manager Luis Rivera’s staff in 2022, will be the 14th manager in franchise history when the season opens on Friday, April 7th...Joining Newell on the bench will be Victor Ramos (Pitching Coach), Richie Benes (Hitting Coach), John Vaughn (Bench Coach) and Juan Loyo (Development Coach).”

David Lennon Newsday Brett Baty putting in work at third in hopes of sticking with Mets. "It was [at 3rd Base], alongside fellow prospect Mark Vientos, that Baty endured a relentless volley from the bat of infield coach Joey Cora under the watchful eye of bench coach Eric Chavez, himself a six-time Gold Glove third baseman...'Just like all these young guys, I want to see how they’re going to fit defensively,' Showalter said. 'Whether they’re able to take a step and be impactful offensively, that’ll shake itself out. But where they are defensively — can you play them when they’re trying to figure out pitching at the major-league level? If they’re not able to defend, they’re not going to get that benefit of the doubt.'"
