NY Post: Mets expected to sign 17-year-old Vladi Miguel Guerrero in international free agency. "The Mets — who already acquired Luisangel Acuña, the brother of Braves superstar Ronald at the trade deadline — reportedly soon will bring in the brother of Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr., too."

Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: Mike Vasil and other Mets pitching prospects to keep an eye on moving forward.  Abbey runs through the Mets system and mentions RHP Mike Vasil, RHP Dominic Hamel, RHP Blade Tidwell, RHP Christian Scott as "The Headliners". She says: "While these four right-handers might be the best of the upper levels of the Mets’ system, that doesn’t mean you’ll be seeing them in the rotation anytime soon. In the past, the Mets have been known to rush prospects, especially on the pitching side. David Stearns prefers to be patient."

1966

The Dodgers trade Derrell Griffith and two-time batting champ Tommy Davis, who missed most of 1965 after severely breaking his ankle, to the Mets for Ron Hunt and Jim Hickman, who leaves New York the franchise's all-time home run leader with 60 round-trippers. The injured outfielder continues his hitting prowess, following a solid comeback season in LA with a very productive one-year stay in New York, leading the team in almost every offensive category.

1995

Charley Smith, the player traded to the Yankees from the Cardinals for Roger Maris in 1967, dies at the age of 57 in Reno, Nevada. In 1965, the third baseman was dealt to the Redbirds by the Mets, along with southpaw Al Jackson, to obtain Ken Boyer.

 Baseball Reference:

2016 - OF Yoennis Cespedes re-signs with the Mets for four years and $110 million. This averages out to $27.5 million per year, the most ever for a position player. He had opted out of the remaining two years of his contract to have another stab at free agency
