- Benny had day in the sun. It's his son's turn "Bruin Agbayani, who recently committed to play college baseball for South Carolina starting in 2025. Bruin is currently a shortstop for Mililani High School in Hawaii, and according to perfectgame.com, he is a left-handed hitter with plus bat speed. Benny said his son is better than he was at that age. Bruin’s lefty batting style reminds Benny of Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper, and Bruin would like his defense to be similar to his hero, Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor."

1984 |
1984: The Chicago White Sox claim 39-year-old pitcher Tom Seaver from the New York Mets as compensation for the loss of free agent pitcher Dennis Lamp to the Toronto Blue Jays. The Mets left Seaver off their protected list assuming (wrongly) that no team would want to select the aging star, who finished 1983 with a 9-14 record and a 3.55 ERA. But Seaver will improve to 15-11 with the White Sox this season.
Faith and Fear in Flushing: "Saving Ron Gardenhire (Instead of Tom Seaver)". Greg Prince looks at all the players the Mets protected in 1984 not named Tom Seaver.
Three Years ago, after GM Jared Porter was fired and the Mets lost out on George Springer:
Metstradamus: The One That Escaped To The North. “But if you had told me after Steve Cohen and all his money took over the Mets that they would go 0-for-3 in the room with JT Realmuto, Trevor Bauer, and George Springer, I would have told you that you were out of your mind.”
Mike’s Mets: Thoughts on George Springer and Jared Porter.
Joel Sherman NY Post: “The Mets let Springer’s camp know over last weekend that they were willing to go to six years at $120 million, but no further. At that point, the Mets were pretty much out of contention, as Springer headed toward the six-year, $150 million pact he reached Wednesday with the Blue Jays.”
