NY Post: Mets banking on major Brett Baty, Mark Vientos improvements without another third base option. "One American League scout noted a marked improvement isn’t impossible for Baty in the upcoming season, comparing him — in a way — to Detroit first baseman Spencer Torkelson...'They’re both talented hitters and Torkelson looked awful at times [in 2022] and got sent back down for a good chunk of the second half,' the scout said of Torkelson, also 24. 'Then he looked a lot better last season.'”
Mets.com:
- Around the Horn: Alvarez leads catching corps "[Francisco Alvarez'] 25 homers were the most by a Mets rookie catcher and the highest in baseball history among primary catchers aged 21 or younger. His game-tying three-run homer with two outs in the ninth against the Rays on May 17 was one of the highlights of the entire season. And his skills behind the plate, a source of consternation from opposing scouts and team officials in Spring Training, proved more than adequate."
