Some time after yesterday's news conference, David Stearns held an all-staff meeting in the Mets offices, according to several people who attended and were impressed. Morale was high. Good first day for new POBO.

Transactions:
New York Mets released Chico Walker on October 4, 1993.
New York Mets released Ced Landrum on October 4, 1993.
Ricky Ledee granted free agency on October 4, 2007.
Jack Egbert granted free agency on October 4, 2012.
1999 | On the last day of the season, Rey Ordonez extends the major league record to 100 errorless games at shortstop, handling 411 chances flawlessly during this span for the Mets. The New York infielder will add another game to the streak on Opening Day next season before committing an error the next day at the Tokyo Dome. |
1999 | In a one-game playoff for the NL wild card, the Mets beat the Reds at Cinergy Field, 5-0. New York southpaw Al Leiter goes the distance, limiting Cincinnati to only two hits. |
2006 | At Shea Stadium, Russell Martin's double kills a promising two on and none out rally as both Dodgers runners are nailed at home in the Mets' eventual 6-5 victory in Game 1 of the NLDS. Jeff Kent and J.D. Drew both try to score, but the relay from right fielder Shawn Green to second baseman Jose Valentin to Paul Lo Duca allows the catcher to tag each runner during their headfirst slides into the plate. |
2010 | A day after the team completes its fourth consecutive disappointing season, the Mets dismiss manager Jerry Manuel and general manager Omar Minaya. Assistant GM John Ricco will be the head of baseball operations on an interim basis until a new GM selects the team's next manager. |
2019 | In Game 1 of the ALDS in the Bronx, the Twins drop a 10-4 decision to the Yankees, extending their postseason losing streak to a major league record 14 consecutive contests. Minnesota previously shared the dubious mark with the Red Sox, who lost 13 straight playoff encounters from 1986-1995, starting with the Bill Buckner game against the Mets at Shea Stadium. |
2000: San Francisco defeats the Mets, 5 - 1, in Game 1 of their National League Division Series. Livan Hernandez gets the victory, raising his lifetime postseason play record to 5-0. Ellis Burks' three-run home run is the key hit for San Francisco.
2021 - The first manager to lose his job this off-season is Luis Rojas of the Mets, in a widely expected move - including by Rojas himself. The Mets want to name a completely new management team, after years of undeperforming amidst a constant soap opera atmosphere.
