  • Baseball lifer Phil Regan suing Mets over departure following 2019 season - Matt Musico points out "Regan filled in for Dave Eiland as pitching coach after he was fired in the middle of June. The Mets ultimately didn’t retain Regan, instead hiring Jeremy Hefner for the role ahead of 2020. One of the main reasons why Regan wasn’t invited back? He was “too old”, which is what then-GM Brodie Van Wagenen reportedly told him straight-up."

1966

The Mets trade Wayne Graham, Bobby Klaus, and Jimmie Schaffer to the Phillies for first baseman Dick Stuart, who will join the Dodgers after being released by the team in June. During his brief tenure with the Amazins,' Dr. Strangelove plays in 31 games, hitting .231 while committing six errors.

2008

The Mets, who had not gone to arbitration with a player in 16 years, come out on the short end of the hearing when southpaw Oliver Perez (15-10, 3.56) gets a favorable decision in his case from arbitrators Steven Wolf, Robert Bailey, and Elizabeth Neumeier. The southpaw is awarded $6.5 million for this year, rather than the club's offer of $4,725,000.

2017

"I think it's a mistake to stick our head in the sand and ignore the fact that our game has changed, and continues to change". - MLB COMMISSIONER ROB MANFRED, commenting on the new intentional walk rule.

In an effort to speed up the game, MLB announces the approval of implementing an intentional walk with a signal from the dugout, rather than the need of throwing four pitches out of the strike zone. Although the new rule will eliminate about only a minute of play, some believe the new approach rids the sport of an antiquated way of issuing a deliberate base-on-balls.
