NY Post: Mets’ Starling Marte back to old self in standout winter league game. "The Mets are hoping Starling Marte will have a bounce-back season in 2024 after suffering through an injury-filled campaign in 2023. If Saturday night’s Dominican Republic Professional Baseball League (LIDOM) game is any indication, he is off to a good start."
Mike Puma NY Post: Mets’ bullpen remains work in progress with proven options still available. "With roughly a month remaining until pitchers and catchers report to spring training, there is no shortage of proven relievers available, and the Mets could simply wait out the market if they choose to add a proven arm." Mike mentions Josh Hader, Aroldis Chapman, Keynan Middleton, Adam Ottavino and Liam Hendriks.
Joel Sherman NY Post: Yankees, Mets have decision problems — not spending problems. "Cohen has tried to spend at the top level the past few years as a way to camouflage the multi-year work necessary to build an infrastructure such as the Dodgers that regularly delivers meaningful players from the system for their use or to use in trades. Midway through last season, Cohen did what I believe no other owner would even consider — take on multiple years of substantial dead money with Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander to deal out of a plan that he did not think was working and try to basically buy more prospects in trades...Whether these were good or bad moves is up for debate. But they weren’t cheap moves."

Bill Madden NY Daily News: Yankees join the desperationtrend in baseball with Marcus Stroman signing. "In 2014, there were 34 pitchers in the majors who logged 200-plus innings. A year later that number was down to 28...the numbers have dropped into the single digits, to just five this past year. At the same time, the MLB average of innings per game for starting pitchers has dropped a full inning — from 6.0 in 2014 to 5.0 in 2023...And just where have the 200-inning aces gone? Gone to analytics, every one."
