The Athletic: How Juan Soto would fit 9 potential suitors, from the Yankees to, yes, the Nationals. "If ever there was a moment for the Mets owner to flex his financial might, it’s this one. Coming off a surprise NLCS run, the Mets have empty spots on their roster and an owner willing (and rich enough) to fill them with the best players available. Starting with Soto, whom Cohen is visiting this week...Soto could man right field or DH for the Mets. There’s no question he’d fit well in Queens. There’s also no question that if Cohen decides to win a bidding war, no other owner can beat him." (Subscription Required}

1996

The Mets trade Rico Brogna to the Phillies for relievers Toby Borland and Ricardo Jordan. The first baseman, diagnosed with a form of spinal arthritis in 1991, proves to be a good acquisition for Philadelphia when the 27 year-old infielder spends 3+ seasons as an everyday player in the City of Brotherly Love.

2006

Although the team has declined to comment, several newspapers and internet sites report the Mets' new ballpark will be known as Citi Field. The deal with CitiCorp, the nation's largest bank, may be worth as much as $20 million annually for 20 years, making it the richest naming rights agreement in sports history, exceeding the 32-year, $300 million contract between the NFL's Texans and Reliant Energy Inc.
