1989

The game-winning RBI statistic is dropped with Mets' first baseman Keith Hernandez being the all-time leader with 129 GW RBIs, and Orioles' first baseman Eddie Murray led the American League with 117 in the nine-year span the stat existed. The defunct rule, which was first employed in 1980, was much maligned by many players because the stat did not truly reflect clutch performance.

2006

In a surprising development, former Mets backstop Mike Piazza and the National League West champion Padres come to terms on a one-year, $2 million deal. The 37 year-old future Hall of Famer, who will be behind the plate for 90 to 100 games this season in addition to playing some first base and DHing in interleague contests, was thought to be headed to an American League team to be a full time designated hitter.

2008

A conditional 4-for-1 trade with the Twins brings Johan Santana to the Mets in exchange for pitching prospects Philip HumberKevin MulveyDeolis Guerra, and fleet-footed outfielder Carlos Gomez. New York has three days to come to terms with the two-time Cy Young Award winner, who has a no-trade clause and can veto the transaction if his new team is unable to sign him.

2000 - The New York Mets announce that singer Garth Brooks will participate in spring training with the team. Brooks worked out last spring with the San Diego Padres going 1 for 22 for a .045 batting average.
