Dan Martin NY Post: What Mets prospects Jett Williams and Drew Gilbert tried to accomplish in the Arizona Fall League. “I played so little this year and didn’t have that many at-bats, so you don’t have the groove you’d like to throughout the year,’’ Williams said by phone this week, prior to ankle sprain. “'So I’ve been trying to get my approach back. … The season was definitely frustrating, but you can learn a lot about yourself when you’re hurt. I just want to stay healthy.'...'The biggest thing was I missed so much time this year, I’m just trying to make up games,’' Gilbert said." (Subscription required)
NJ.Com: Ex-MLB GM: Why Mets have an edge in Roki Sasaki sweepstakes. "According to ex-MLB general manager Jim Bowden...cited league sources, including “front-office decision makers who are optimistic about their chances of signing Sasaki,” in reporting that it’s “unlikely” Sasaki signs in Los Angeles for one big reason: endorsements...Sasaki needs pitching development, which does make the Dodgers a fit, but it also gives advantages to teams such as the San Diego Padres, Tampa Bay Rays, Mets and Atlanta Braves, who all have strong pitching development programs."
"The greatest manager I ever played for"

1961 | Using blue and orange, the team colors of the departed Dodgers and Giants, the Mets unveil the franchise's logo selected from over 500 entries submitted in the expansion team's $1000 design contest. Sports cartoonist Ray Gatto's winning entry is a display of a skyline representing all five boroughs with various iconic symbols of the Big Apple. |
2004 | Receiving 21 of the 28 first-place votes, Vladimir Guerrero (.337, 39, 126) wins the 2004 American League's MVP Award. The 28 year-old former Expo outfielder signed as a free agent with the Angels after the Mets refused to guarantee his salary based on advice from their medical staff. |
2006 | The Nationals name Manny Acta as the team's new manager, replacing 71 year-old Frank Robinson, the oldest pilot in baseball. The 37 year-old Dominican, who served as the Mets' third-base coach for the past two seasons, is now the youngest skipper in the majors. |
2007 | After a five-year departure to play for the Mets, Tom Glavine returns to the Braves, agreeing to an $8 million, one year deal. The 41 year-old southpaw, a two-time Cy Young winner with the team, left Atlanta in 2002 after negotiations as a free agent became acrimonious with team president Stan Kasten. |
2009 | Wally Backman is hired by the Mets to manage the Brooklyn Cyclones, their farm team in the New York-Penn League.
