Mike Puma NY Post: Mets enter 2024 with less star power but more depth in rotation.  Mike looks how the 2024 rotation will look different than the past two years which were headlined by "Jacob deGrom/Max Scherzer and Scherzer/Justin Verlander" and adds this: "Christian Scott, Mike Vasil and Dominic Hamel will receive looks this spring (those three pitchers will most likely start the Mets’ first three exhibition games) with Tyler Stuart also a possibility to receive innings."

Mike Vaccaro NY Post: Baseball awards dinner’s charm will be missed if this is the end after 100 years. Mike talks about past Baseball Writer's dinners and how last night's might be the final one.  "These past 43 years, the dinner has mostly been a pure and unbridled celebration of the sport...The big awards — MVP, Cy Young, all of them — were officially presented here, as were a variety of local ones — notably the Good Guy Award...there is talk of MLB negotiating for the rights to present the big awards apart from the BBWAA dinner, and that would likely be that."

2005

Traded to the Mets yesterday, first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz, who caught and kept the ball used to make the final out, giving the Red Sox their first World championship in 86 years, will lend his souvenir to his former club. The historic horsehide, which Boston claims belongs to the team, will be encased within a plaque and become part of the victory tour, featuring the World Series trophy.

2009

Aaron Heilman is traded for the second time this offseason when the Mariners swap the 30-year-old right-hander to the Cubs for utility infielder Ronny Cedeno and southpaw Garrett Olson. Seven weeks ago, the Mets dealt the much-maligned reliever to Seattle as part of a three-team trade that included the Indians.
