Jeff Passan ESPN.com: From LOL to OMG: Why the Mets' incredible run is the start of something even bigger. "The internal transformation, delivered by owner Steve Cohen hiring David Stearns as president of baseball operations and Carlos Mendoza as manager, brought to the organization a pair of leaders who immediately flipped a culture long known for its brokenness."

Mike Puma NY Post: Mets will have very different questions to answers this offseason. "How heavily will the Mets pursue Juan Soto? Where does Pete Alonso fit? Who from this starting rotation should stay? Are there spots remaining for the veteran nucleus? Where will they find relief?" 

Tim Britton and Will Sammon The Athletic: Five big questions facing the Mets and David Stearns in a compelling offseason. "1. How do Steve Cohen and David Stearns feel about spending now? 2. Will Pete Alonso be back? 3. How can the Mets supplement their offense? 4. Do the Mets need an ace? 5. What part of the Mets’ youth do they believe in?"

David Lennon Newsday Mets' greatest victory of 2024 was establishing a new culture.

  • No games Monday in the AFL.  Mets contingent is back at it tonight at 9:30.
  • Sam Dykstra MLB.com: After injury-plagued season, Mets' Williams hyped to be in AFL. "His plus speed is also considered an asset in center field, where there’s more room to roam, and at the AFL’s outset, Jett estimated that New York would try to get him 50-50 playing time between the dirt and the grass."  Sam also gives a scouting report on all the Mets in the league this Fall.

Winter Baseball:

New York Mets traded Duffy Dyer to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Gene Clines on October 22, 1974.

New York Mets released Dyar Miller on October 22, 1981.

NY Post: Roger Clemens’ ‘bizarre’ Mike Piazza bat throw is still shocking.

National Pastime.com:

1979

Ed Kranepool declares his free-agency, ending his 18-year major league career, played entirely with the Mets. The first baseman and pinch-hitter, who signed with the expansion team in 1962 at the age of 17 as an amateur free agent, set franchise records in eight categories, including the most hits (1,418), most games played (1,853), at-bats (5,436), and pinch-hits (90).

1986

After losing the first two games at home, the Mets pull even with the Red Sox in the World Series. Gary Carter's two Fenway Park home runs power New York to a 6-2 victory in Game 4 of the Fall Classic.

 



2000

In Game 2, the Yankees extend their World Series winning streak to 14 consecutive games, defeating the Mets, 6-5, in a game which is overshadowed by Roger Clemens throwing the barrel of a shattered bat at Mike Piazza as the Met catcher runs to first. The eagerly awaited at-bat, due to the Rocket's beaning of the Mets' superstar in July, results in the two players confronting one another and the emptying of both benches.
