If the Mets were worried about Jeff McNeil seeing enough live pitching before Opening Day, they shouldn't have been. He drew an 11-pitch walk from Lance Lynn in his first Grapefruit League plate appearance of the spring (and of course swung at the first pitch).

Brett Baty just hit his second home run of spring. Quietly, he's been hot, batting .310/.375/.552 in March after a slow start to Grapefruit League play. pic.twitter.com/XK7X3iBkP4

3/19/2024 Mets Roster Moves - Sulser, Trayce Thompson, Yolmer Sánchez and others sent to minor league camp "The New York Mets announced that RHP Kyle Crick, OF Ben Gamel, RHP Yacksel Ríos, INF Yolmer Sánchez, RHP Cole Sulser and OF Trayce Thompson have been reassigned to minor league camp."

- Mets’ Francisco
Lindor wants to see MLBPA ‘improve’, not remove leaders "The Mets shortstop was among the players who participated in a Zoom call Monday in which there was movement to remove Bruce Meyer, the union’s lead negotiator and No. 2 to MLBPA executive director Tony Clark."
- Jeff McNeil
makes long-awaited Mets spring training debut
- Mets’ wild-card
chances could use a Steve Cohen boost "
Mets.com:
- McNeil embracing rapid spring ramp-up "With seven work days to go until the opener, McNeil should have plenty of time to increase his at-bat count via Grapefruit League games and additional backfield reps. He’s not concerned about the quick ramp-up; if anything, part of McNeil prefers a lighter spring workload...David Peterson threw his fourth bullpen session on Tuesday, firing 15 pitches...the Mets transferred Peterson to the 60-day injured list earlier this spring...he’s not eligible to return until May 27. Peterson’s goal is to become an active player on that day."
