Good Morning. Born Today Mets Coach Eddie Yost. Happy Birthday Julio Valera and Taylor Buchholz. Jon Heyman thinks thinks Pete will test Free Agency, 4 Mets in action in the AFL and the Phillies beat the Braves to go to the NLCS.

Jon Heyman NY Post: Mets’ deal for Pete Alonso may have to wait for free agency. "Any hope to sign Alonso for a deal comparable to Freddie Freeman’s $162M contract is gone now, maybe more so because Alonso posted his third 40-plus homer season in five (only Kyle Schwarber even has two) than him hiring noted agent Scott Boras."
NY Daily News: Mets arbitration candidates: Predicting who is safe, who is on the bubble and who is out. Abbey Mastracco says that 1B Pete Alonso, DH Daniel Vogelbach, RHP Drew Smith, LHP Joey Lucchesi, LHP David Peterson are safe; that RHP Trevor Gott, RHP Jeff Brigham, RHP John Curtiss, RHP Sam Coonrod, OF DJ Stewart, INF Luis Guillorme, are on the bubble and INF Danny Mendick, OF Rafael Ortega, C Michael Perez, OF Tim Locastro, RHP Elieser Hernandez will be Non-Tendered.
As I noted back on October 4th: Some of these will be released and won't even make it to the non-tender stage as the Mets Roster currently stands at 45 with 5 Pitchers still listed on the 60 Day IL - Edwin Diaz, John Curtiss, Elieser Hernandez, Bryce Montes de Oca, and Josh Walker. They must be added to the 40 man no later than 5 days after the final game of the World Series.
Danny Abriano SNY.TV: Stay or Go: Should Mets bring Drew Smith back for 2024? "Regardless of what they decide with Smith, the Mets are going to have to add multiple high-leverage relievers to bolster a unit led by Diaz, Raley, and perhaps Ottavino. If Smith is part of the revamped bullpen in 2024, he'll start out in a much lower-leverage role than the one he was thrust into in 2023 -- but he has the upside to earn more trust."
The Mount Salmore from @sal_licata of NL East position players: Bryce Harper, Ronald Acuña Jr., Austin Riley, Francisco Lindor

Davey Johnson, the Mets’ Triple-A Tidewater pilot, inks a two-year deal to become the 11th manager in franchise history, replacing Frank Howard who is promptly hired as the team’s first base-coach. The 40 year-old Floridian will compile a 595-417 (.588) record during his six-plus seasons in the dugout which includes capturing a World Championship in 1986. |

The Braves score all four of their runs in the 6th inning on a pair of home runs by Brian Jordan and Eddie Perez off Mets starter Kenny Rogers. Kevin Millwood gets the win for Atlanta, with John Smoltz making his first relief appearance ever to get the save.
2015: Clayton Kershaw ends a five-game postseason losing streak when the Dodgers defeat the Mets, 3 - 1, in Game 4 of the other NLDS. Justin Turner hits a two-run double against his former team for the key blow.
