Jon Heyman NY Post: What makes Pete Alonso’s Mets value different than his other free-agent suitors. "...early hints suggest the Mets may let Alonso look around before they present an updated offer...The Astros, Cubs, Orioles and Mariners are seen as other possibilities. And how about the Phillies if Bryce Harper moves back to the outfield?...Ultimately, the Mets may believe no one will match his contractual expectations, or the value they themselves place on the beloved Met." 

Peter Botte NY Post: Carlos Mendoza has World Series FOMO as he takes in Knicks’ home opener. "Carlos Mendoza would have preferred being at Yankee Stadium on Friday night for what would have been Game 1 of the World Series. Instead, five days after the Mets’ magical run came to an end in Los Angeles, the first-year manager was at Madison Square Garden with his father and his two sons taking in the Knicks home opener against the Pacers."

SI.com: Mets Provide Promising Update on Injured High-Leverage Reliever "During Wednesday's end of the season press conference at Citi Field, Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns shared with reporters that right-hander Dedniel Nunez is progressing well after being sidelined down the stretch with a strained flexor tendon in his right arm." 

MLB.com: From Draft League to indy ball to AFL, Mets prospect Pintaro eyes bigs as next stop. Sam Dykstra details how Jonathan Pintaro moved from Brooklyn to Binghamton to Syracuse to now pitching iin the Arizona Fall League and explains how last winter "With the help of Tread Athletics, Pintaro worked at a sinker, a sweeper and a changeup...Pintaro will enter Spring Training with a shot at contributing to the Mets pitching depth."
