  • Healthy Lucchesi could be key piece for Mets - Left-hander to start, try out new pitch in intrasquad game on Friday.
  • Here's each team's best pure hitting prospect - For the Mets it is Brett Baty - "Since he was a 12th overall pick in 2019, Baty has always hit the ball exceptionally hard in pro ball, but in 2022, he also started to lift the ball more on contact, cutting down his groundball rate from 55.8 percent (worst in the Mets system) in 2021 to 43.5 percent. The result was a .315 average in 95 games between Double-A and Triple-A."

New York Mets traded George Stone to the Texas Rangers for Bill Hands on February 24, 1976.

New York Mets signed free agent Rod Barajas of the Toronto Blue Jays on February 24, 2010.

Atlanta Braves claimed Guillermo Heredia of the New York Mets on waivers on February 24, 2021.

From National Pastime.com:

1966

The Braves sign the University of Southern California hurler Tom Seaver, but Commissioner William Eckert nullifies the contract due to rules that govern the signing of college players. The right-hander, who is declared ineligible by USC, will become available to any team, except Atlanta, willing to match the original contract in a lottery, which the Mets will win that also included bids by the Indians and the Phillies.
