Andy Martino SNY: Source: Mets' Ronny Mauricio undergoing tests for knee injury. "Mets infielder Ronny Mauricio is undergoing tests in the Dominican Republic for an injury suffered during a game Sunday, and will likely travel to New York in order to be examined by Mets doctors, according to a person familiar with the situation. It is a knee injury, the source said. The severity is not yet known...Playing on Sunday night for Tigres del Licey, Mauricio took off from first base as if to steal, stopped and then fell to the ground."
The fact that he walked away with only a slight limp tells me that he has a clean tear of one of the two ligament, either a MCL or the ACL. With surgery and rehab for an elite athlete, we talking 4.5 months, plus 3 weeks of rehab in the minors. Plan for return on or about 6/1.

Jon Heyman NY Post: Shohei Ohtani is already helping the Dodgers with wild deferral. "Ohtani’s new contract is still a record, but deferrals his own agency at CAA accurately called “unprecedented,” were revealed to be $68 million of his $70 million annual salary — about 97 percent — and make the deal a lot more sensible for the Dodgers than first believed...Since no interest will be paid by the Dodgers on the deferred monies, the contract is being valued at $460 million or $46 million a year by MLB for CBT (competitive balance tax) purposes based on an expected 4 percent interest rate. (If rates are higher, it will be turn out to be worth less than that.)"
12/11/23: Mets Roster Moves - INF Rylan Bannon signed to Minor Deal. "Rylan will turn 28 in April. He bats and throws right. He is currently listed on the Syracuse Mets Roster...He is Money-Ball type player with power and a high on-base average. Last year for Houston's AAA team he hit 18 HRs, 6 RBIs, 63 walks, 90 Ks in 408 plate appearances while slashing .241/.360/.449 - .810 OPS. "

1975 | The Tigers trade pitcher Mickey Lolich and outfielder Billy Baldwin to the Mets in exchange for outfielder Rusty Staub and pitcher Bill Laxton. New York's new southpaw will post an 8-13 record, spending just one year in the Big Apple, while Detroit will enjoy a steady performance from their recently acquired flycatcher and DH, who will bat .275 during his three-plus seasons in the Motor City. |
2007 | Paul Lo Duca and the Nationals agree to a $5 million, one-year deal that puts the former Mets catcher behind Washington's home plate. The free-agent backstop became expendable and much-needed in the same instance when New York dealt Lastings Milledge to get the Nats starting catcher, Brian Schneider. |
2008 | The Mets, reeling from their second consecutive season-ending collapse, continue to overhaul their much-maligned bullpen, which had 29 blown saves in 72 chances (40%). Scott Schoeneweis joins Joe Smith and Aaron Heilman in becoming the latest New York reliever to be traded as the southpaw is dealt to the Diamondbacks for Connor Robertson, a right-hander acquired by Arizona in the Dan Haren deal. |
