"I wouldn't mind adding more than that, but certainly at least one more is needed." pic.twitter.com/dL0B9MRQDp
"This is a really talented pitcher, first of all."
— SNY (@SNYtv) December 4, 2023
David Stearns talks about what the Mets liked in Luis Severino: pic.twitter.com/QfBKGdDi2U

— SNY (@SNYtv) December 4, 2023
David Stearns was asked about adding a DH from outside the organization: pic.twitter.com/1URxyEXI1w
"There are very different elements of this job than the jobs I've held previously."
— SNY (@SNYtv) December 4, 2023
David Stearns talks about having payroll flexibility with the Mets: pic.twitter.com/g4H8dPGxTx
Stearns: “If we’re going to trade young players, if we’re going to trade players that could potentially impact our team for multiple years, we’re going to expect multiple years coming back…I think what we will likely avoid, is trading younger players for that one year rental.” https://t.co/HmPVUOdcB0
— Steve Gelbs (@SteveGelbs) December 5, 2023
"I haven't seen the Mets want an available free agent this much in quite a long time."
— SNY Mets (@SNY_Mets) December 5, 2023

1990 | Hoping to fill the void created by Darryl Strawberry's departure to LA as a free agent, the Mets make their first move into the free-agent market in 10 years when they sign Vince Coleman to a 4-year contract just shy of $12 million. The former St. Louis outfielder, who will spend time on the disabled list on five occasions during the next two seasons, will be hampered by injuries to his ribs and hamstrings during his stay with New York. |
2001 | New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani announces he wants to complete new stadium deals for the Mets and Yankees before he leaves office at the end of the month. Before the September 11 attacks, which dramatically changed the city's financial stature, the mayor believed an arrangement in which the city, the state, and the owners agreed to pay one-third of the cost of the new stadiums might complete the negotiations with the teams. |
2002 | The Mets sign the much sought after free-agent Tom Glavine to a three-year deal worth $35 million, with an option for an additional year that could increase the value of the contract to $42.5 million. The 36 year-old southpaw, who has compiled a 242-143 record along with a 3.37 ERA, will notch his 300th career win with New York in 2007. |
12/5/2005 The Mets send two minor leaguers to the Marlins for Paul Lo Duca. Lo Duca, who grew up a Mets fan, was an All-Star in his first season with New York. His .297 batting average is the highest among qualified catchers in franchise history.@paulloduca16 pic.twitter.com/T9sHmtduCx
