Last Night in Winter Ball, Ronny Mauricio went 2 for 4 with a triple, a walk and an RBI. In the 9th inning, after drawing a walk, Ronny fell off 1st base as Jorge Alfaro was hit by a pitch. He was helped up but was able to walk off the field on his own.

“The amount of data is totally different. In NPB, catchers have to do most of the homework on the hitters. In MLB, there’s just so much data and everyone — including pitchers and position pitchers — have to know it.” pic.twitter.com/d9AWGeF14b
On cultural differences
— Yakyu Cosmopolitan (@yakyucosmo) December 10, 2023
“I went to the US with the intent to assimilate to an American lifestyle. Even if I felt like food or routines were different than what I had back in Japan, I accepted things and went along with it. So the cultural differences didn’t bother me at all.”

“When I first saw them, I felt like I was entering a fantasy world because I’d only seen those legends on TV. I was able to shadow them in the first half but after they were traded, I felt like the spotlight was on me more.” pic.twitter.com/5em2oIiykG

1962 | The Red Sox trade Tracy Stallard, Pumpsie Green, and a player to be named later (Al Moran) to the Mets in exchange for Felix Mantilla. Stallard, best known for throwing the pitch to Roger Maris for the record-breaking 61st home run, will become a twenty-game loser for New York in 1964. |
1986 | The Mets trade Kevin Mitchell, a rookie who played six positions for the eventual world champs, along with prospects Stan Jefferson and Shawn Abner, and two other minor leaguers to the Padres for outfielder Kevin McReynolds, southpaw Gene Walter, and a minor leaguer. After being traded to the Giants during the season, the San Diego native will become the National League's Most Valuable Player in 1989. |
1987 | The A's obtain Jesse Orosco from the Mets and then trades the southpaw reliever along with shortstop Alfredo Griffin and right-hander Jay Howell to the Dodgers for pitchers Matt Young, Bob Welch, and Jack Savage. New York gets Savage as well as right-hand hurlers Wally Whitehurst and Kevin Tapani from Oakland to complete the three-team, eight-player deal. |
1987 | In a rare trade between the cross-town rivals, the Mets trade Rafael Santana to the Yankees, along with minor leaguer Victor Garcia, who pitched for Cardinal Hayes High School in the Bronx, for Steve Frey, Phil Lombardi, and Darren Reed. The starting shortstop for the world champs last season initially signed with the Bronx Bombers as an amateur free agent in 1976. |
1991 | The Royals deal right-hander Bret Saberhagen and utility player Bill Pecota to the Mets for Gregg Jefferies, Kevin McReynolds, and Keith Miller. The two-time Cy Young Award winner will post only a 3-5 record in his first season with New York, compiling a 29-27 record during his 3+ seasons with the team. |
2001 | The Mets trade southpaw Billy Traber and outfielders Matt Lawton and Alex Escobar to the Indians for superstar second baseman Roberto Alomar along with prospect Danny Peoples and left-hander Mike Bacsik. The Gold Glove infielder, the centerpiece of the deal, will be a notable bust in Flushing, hitting just .265 and playing uninspired defense for New York before being shipped to the White Sox in the middle of the 2003 season. |
1998 - The Mets sign 1B-3B Todd Zeile to a three-year contract.
2000: The Mets sign free agent P Kevin Appier to a four-year contract, and free agent P Steve Trachsel to a two-year contract.
2013: The Mets sign P Bartolo Colon to a two-year deal.
2014: The Mets signing OF/1B John Mayberry.
