Press Release: New York Mets Announce Initial 2024 Promotions Schedule, New Saturday Game Times Besides multiple bobblehead giveaways, and fireworks nights, Dwight Gooden's number retirement on April 14 and Darryl Strawberry's number retirement on June 1st, the Mets announced that "all Saturday home games between March 28 and May 25 will feature a 1:40 p.m. start, and a start at 4:10 p.m. between June 1 and September 21. This game time change was driven by the results from a Mets fan survey that indicated nearly 90 percent of respondents favored earlier game times on Saturdays in order to bring kids, family and large groups to games."
The Mets have six players on ESPN's new Top 100 MLB prospects list:

"Nothing close or particularly hot there with Woodruff and the Mets, but I do think that that's a possibility and something to keep an eye on." https://t.co/E9U1RErFQi pic.twitter.com/UNwym9hupa
