On this “Willie Mays Day”, enjoy the final hit of Willie’s career which ultimately gave the Mets the win in game 2 of the 1973 World Series. Pay close attention to Rollie Fingers. One of the great reactions by a pitcher you will ever see. #2-4-24. https://t.co/GU4ste3mxq

2014 |
The Dodgers agree to a minor league
contract with free agent Justin Turner, who was non-tendered by the Mets,
after hitting .265 in 301 games with the team over four seasons. The All-Star
third baseman's steady fielding and consistent hitting prove to be a
significant asset in LA's string of titles since his arrival. |
Centerfield Maz:
Three years ago today, the Mets lost out on Trevor Bauer. Many were upset at the time but it turned out to be a good thing. Here were some of the stores from that day -
Deesha Thosar NY Daily News: Sources told the Daily News the Mets made Bauer an offer for over $100 million across three years with an opt out after 2021, which would have put them well over the $210 million luxury tax threshold. Bauer’s three-year deal with the Dodgers is for $102 million guaranteed, with $40 million in 2021 and $45 million in 2022, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. He can opt out after each year.
Joel Sherman NY Post: Mets losing Trevor Bauer shows just how wide gap with Dodgers is. "This offseason, they didn’t offer as much as a New York team and still landed the 2020 NL Cy Young award winner."
John Harper SNY.TV: Scouts and execs weigh in on what Trevor Bauer's decision means for Mets in NL landscape. "Mets have had a good offseason, but adding Bauer would have made it great. That’s why, to me, George Springer mattered even more, because if the Mets weren’t going to have the best starting rotation, there were other ways to win, and getting an All-Star center fielder with a proven ability to hit elite pitching in the postseason was at the top of the list."
Three years ago in Mets News and Breakfast Links - 2/5/2020, we reported how the Mookie Betts to the Dodgers trade finally happened, and how Wilmer Flores has a new team...and The NY Post says: “Steve Cohen’s $2.6 billion bid to buy the Mets is on life support — if alive at all”.
