Danny Abriano SNY. TV: Stay or Go: Should Mets bring DJ Stewart back for 2024? "Stewart flashed serious power in 2023 and became a folk hero of sorts at Citi Field...Given the low cost it will take to retain Stewart, it's impossible to argue against bringing him back."
Tim Healey Newsday: Billy Eppler's Mets legacy is not going big at the 2022 trade deadline. "The way 2023 unfolded unscored the point about 2022: You just don’t know when a season like that will happen again. When it presents itself — whether or not you anticipated such a World Series chance at this point in your timeline — you have to capitalize, not worry about prospects. Take your shot."

New York Mets claimed Junior Noboa on waivers from the Montreal Expos on October 8, 1991.
New York Mets released Satoru Komiyama on October 8, 2002.
1973 | The Mets' 9-2 victory over the Reds in Game 3 of the NLCS will best be remembered for the Pete Rose and Bud Harrelson brawl started when the New York feisty shortstop takes exception to 'Charlie Hustle's' hard slide at second base to break up a double play. After the fight, the Mets, fearing a forfeit due to their fans' rowdy behavior, send an emissary, consisting of Willie Mays, Yogi Berra, Cleon Jones, Tom Seaver, and Rusty Staub, out to left field to quell the crowd's unrest. |
1986 | Mike Scott tosses a five-hitter and ties a playoff record with 14 strikeouts, beating the frustrated Mets, who accuse the Astros' right-hander of scuffing the ball in their 1-0 defeat in Game 1 of NLCS. A Glenn Davis home run in the second inning off Dwight Gooden accounts the lone run in the Astrodome contest. |
2000 | At Shea Stadium, the Mets blank the Giants, 4-0, to win the NLDS in four games. Bobby Jones, who was sent to the minors earlier in the season to work on his mechanics, retires the side in order eight of the nine innings, allowing only a fifth-inning double to Jeff Kent. The one-hitter is only the sixth in postseason history. |
