- Joel Sherman: Scott Boras’ view while sitting at center of Pete Alonso, Juan Soto’s free agency fortunes. "Boras said Alonso will be two years younger than Freeman was at the time of free agency and 'there has not been a 45-homer-hitting first baseman on the market in a while.' As for Soto, he reportedly rejected a 15-year, $440 million extension from the Nationals during the 2022 season before being traded to the Padres. When asked if his client now has to get north of that, Boras said he would not discuss potential dollars — but noted that Soto would be a free agent after his age-25 season and 'Did you see what [Yoshinobu] Yamamoto got?'”

Here is yesterday's MLB Scoreboard.
Bill Madden NY Daily News: Teams not willing to play ball with Scott Boras and his ridiculous asking prices. "At present there are five “top tier” unsigned free agents — Blake Snell, Jordan Montgomery, Cody Bellinger, Matt Chapman and J.D. Martinez..In the case of Snell, Boras was said to be asking for a nine-year deal at $30 million per. Despite winning his second Cy Young Award in ’23, Snell has (1) never pitched more than 180 2/3 innings in a season, (2) exasperates managers with his number of pitches in the game and (3) last year led the majors with 99 walks...What about Montgomery? For the ex-Yankee, Boras is said to be seeking a contract comparable or better to the seven-year, $172 million the Phillies gave Aaron Nola to re-up."

On
their Twitter account, the Mets send out an image of the patch the team will
wear this season in memory of Gary Carter, who died earlier in the month of
brain cancer at the age of 57. The black oval will feature the nickname of
the former New York catcher, Kid, and his number 8. |

2016 |
The
players' union and MLB agree to a slide rule in the aftermath of Ruben
Tejada's broken leg during the NLDS. The new policy, the direct result of
Chase Utley attempt to break up a double play that injured the Mets
infielder, will be reviewable and will continue to allow contact to be
permissible with the fielder, but the runner cannot change his path to
disrupt the play deliberately. |
