NY Post: Mets Gambling on Pitchers producing bounce back seasons. Dan Martin talks about the Mets are relying on Sean Manaea, Jose Quintana and Luis Severino.  When discussing Severino he notes: "just two seasons ago that Severino had a solid year in The Bronx, when he pitched to a 3.18 ERA, with a four-seam fastball and slider that were more than solid.  Last year, those pitches were almost completely ineffective for the right-hander, who turns 30 this month.  Severino hasn’t come close to a full season in which he’s pitched well and stayed healthy since 2018, the second of his back-to-back All-Star seasons with the Yankees."

Abby Mastracco NY Daily News: Mets’ director of player development evaluates club’s top prospects.  Abby "talks to Andrew Christie, the Mets’ director of player development, about five of the club’s top young players"...SS/2B Luisangel Acuna, OF Drew Gilbert, SS/OF Jett Williams, RHP Christian Scott and LHP Nate Lavender.  About Lavender he states: "'He’s an absolute bulldog...When you see a relief pitcher, in terms of mindset, that’s the guy you think of. He is not intimidated by anything. I’m really looking forward to seeing him get in there throughout spring training and getting out some of these big hitters, and I think Mets fans will see it when they’re watching games and spring training.'"

SNY on YouTube: DJ Stewart talks to the Media at Spring Training about adjustments he made last year and how he is ready to compete this year.

"Doris From Rego Park" makes its debut on Jonathan Schwartz's weekend program on WNYC-FM. The song, written and performed by Don Rosler, is a tribute to Doris Bauer, the Mets fan who became a New York institution as a late-night caller to WFAN sports radio before she died in 2003.
