MLB.com: Jett Williams talks about this past season.


Will Sammon The Athletic: Tales of new Mets manager Carlos Mendoza: ‘He’ll be in the fight with the guys’. Will Sammon talks to multiple Yankees players and coaches about Carlos Mendoza.  Some of the quotes: "their manager had their back", "He would see the kind of things that you’d hope other coaches see", "He didn’t really accept a negative attitude from the players", and "...after the 2021 season, the Yankees ranked toward the bottom of the league in controlling the running game, and Mendoza wanted to help fix that. That offseason, he helped organize a conversation with different departments about what kind of plan they’d have to execute in spring training...the Yankees in 2022 led the league in opponent stolen bases per game."

2006

The Mets stage a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the construction of the 45,000-seat ballpark, which will replace Shea Stadium in 2009. The new $800 million ballpark, named Citi Field in association with Citigroup Inc., will be reminiscent of Ebbets Field and will feature a statue of Jackie Robinson in a rotunda named after the immortal Brooklyn Dodger infielder.

 

2013

The Phillies announce the team has reached a two-year, $16 million deal with Marlon Byrd, who helped the Pirates reach the postseason for the first since 1992 by hitting .318 after being traded by the Mets to the Bucs at the end of August. Last offseason, the 36 year-old outfielder signed a minor league contract with New York, emerging as one of the team's few offensive assets before being dealt to Pittsburgh along with John Buck for two minor league prospects.
