Tim Healey Newsday: Why Mets' Eric Chavez apologized to some players at end of last season. "'My real passion is pretty much on an individual level, making an impact with people any way that I can,' Chavez said. 'I’ve got the experience. I want to share it with guys — the next generation — and give back a little bit. I didn’t feel like I met the standards last year.'”
NY Post:
- Lifelong Mets fan Max Kranick believes new pitches will ‘open doors’ in bid for rotation spot. "Upon arriving to camp, Kranick began working...about adding to an arsenal that already included a four-seamer, curveball and cutter...vice president of pitching Eric Jagers, Triple-A pitching coach Grayson Crawford and pitching coach Jeremy Hefner...came up with a two-seam fastball plus a sweeper...Kranick debuted the two-seamer Monday and was happy to see some swing-and-miss on the pitch...Before surgery, Kranick was able to reach back and throw in the upper-90s...Last season...the velocity had not fully returned, sitting in the lower 90s...He believed his offspeed stuff was crisper on the other side of the knife, though, and hopes that as he builds up, the gas will be there, too."
- Mets prospect Tyler Stuart impressed in two scoreless innings facing Joey Gallo, Keibert Ruiz.
- Luisangel Acuña makes strong Mets impression while paired with Francisco Lindor up middle.
- Luis Severino believes improved sleep habits will help fatigue, performance for Mets. "Luis Severino spent the winter focused more on Zzzzzzs than potential Ks...Severino, 30, said he was getting about five hours of sleep per night, but since implementing changes in his routine he’s in the six-to-seven hours range and he expects further improvement."
- Mets’ Trayce Thompson dazzles with grand slam versus lefty in positive sign: ‘Know I can do it’
Mets.com:
- Smiling Stewart looking for encore after '23 surge "Stewart said the reason he was productive in ’23 was that he was healthy. During his five years in Baltimore, he spent most of his time on the injured list or in the Minor Leagues...Stewart also made a swing adjustment while at Syracuse. With the help of Triple-A hitting coach Collin Hetzler, Stewart added a toe tap to help him react to pitches coming toward the plate. The change translated well into his game, and he found success in the Big Apple."
- McNeil waiting on debut; Acuña learning from Lindor "Mets infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil most likely will not play in his first exhibition game until the first week of March, according to manager Carlos Mendoza. McNeil is still dealing with a partial tear in his left elbow, as he has been since last season, but he has been given clearance to participate in Spring Training activities."
