MLB Trade Rumors: Mets Among Teams Showing Interest In J.D. Davis. "Seven Teams have shown interest since Davis was released by the Giants...The Mets are paying a 110% tax on spending, so a hypothetical $3MM salary for Davis would cost them around $6.3MM overall. He has over five years of major league service, so he’d return to the open market next winter assuming he signs a one-year contract."

NY Post:

The Athletic: Inside the Mets’ payroll: How did it get here and what could it mean for future signings? Tim Britton points out that the Mets have the largest payroll in baseball this year mostly due to "56 million to players no longer on the roster, including: Justin Verlander: $26.6 million;  Max Scherzer: $20.8 million; James McCann: $8 million" (Subscription required).

Anthony Rieber Newsday: Mets pitchers attacking hitters and seeing results. "The Mets’ pitching staff entered Tuesday with a cumulative 2.51 ERA through 15 exhibition games. Next was Houston with a 3.39 ERA. Last was Seattle at 6.89. “I mean, it's spring training,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said with a smile. “But it's always good to be on the positive side of things, right? I think it’s one of those things that, since the beginning, [pitching coach Jeremy Hefner] and the whole crew addressed attacking the strike zone, using early contact, staying ahead of hitters, executing pitches. And the guys, they’ve been doing a hell of a job attacking hitters, trusting their stuff. We’ve seen results, even though it's spring training.”

New York Mets traded Mardie Cornejo to the Detroit Tigers for Ed Glynn on March 13, 1979.

Detroit Tigers claimed Shane Halter of the New York Mets on waivers on March 13, 2000.

1979

The Tigers and Mets swap relievers, with Detroit sending Ed Glynn to the Big Apple in exchange for Mardie Cornejo, who, after posting a 4-2 record as a rookie last season, will never play in another major league game. In contrast, the latest addition to the New York bullpen will make 84 appearances, compiling an ERA of 3.53 during the two years with his new club.

2001

Throwing 22 strikes out of 29 pitches over two innings of shutout ball in his surprise start against the Mets at Roger Dean Stadium, Rick Ankiel makes his first appearance since the 2000 playoffs, in which he lost his control, throwing seven wild pitches in three postseason appearances.

2006

Three pitches into the top of the seventh inning, the stadium lights at Tradition Field partially fail. With fifty percent of the lighting not functioning, the exhibition game ends, after a 15-minute delay, with the Mets leading the Nationals, 10-4.

Baseball Reference:

1969 - In addition to this year's lower mound and tightened strike zone, Major League Baseball tries an experimental ball with 10% more resiliency for a spring training game between the Mets and Tigers in Lakeland, Florida. It has an all-rubber center instead of a cork and rubber core, and the seams are higher than the regular ball. Mets pitcher Don Cardwell surrenders three home runs in the 4th inning to Dick McAuliffe, Norm Cash, and Gates Brown in the Tigers' 7 - 4 victory. Tomorrow, in Phoenix, Arizona, the same ball is used in the Giants' 13 - 1 win over the Angels, with Bobby Bonds hitting the only two homers off George Brunet. The players agree the ball is definitely livelier and sounds louder coming off the bat. 

2001 - At spring training, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Rick Ankiel makes his first appearance since the 2000 playoffs in which he lost his control throwing seven wild pitches in three postseason appearances. Ankiel throws 22 strikes out of 29 pitches over two innings of shutout ball in his surprise start against the Mets, but his control problems will reappear within a short while.
