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."

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.
