NY Post: Hal Steinbrenner unsure of Yankees’ Juan Soto chances after ‘very honest’ meeting. "Steinbrenner divulged what he knows and was willing to share during a scrum with reporters in Midtown: Steinbrenner, GM Brian Cashman, manager Aaron Boone, adviser Omar Minaya and team president Randy Levine visited Soto and agent Scott Boras on Monday...The meeting was “a very honest, back-and-forth dialogue” that lasted a “couple hours.” Soto, who knows plenty about the Yankees after playing all of last season in The Bronx, had questions about the player-development system, which he does not know well and which plays a large factor in which teams win and which teams do not...Four times in a 14-minute session, Steinbrenner said “no idea” regarding Soto’s wishes or next steps."

1970

Mets' center fielder Tommie Agee becomes the first non-pitcher to win a Gold Glove in each league. The New York flycatcher, who joins the selection of flycatchers Pete Rose and Roberto Clemente for NL honors, also won the prestigious award for fielding with the White Sox during his 1966 Rookie of the Year season.

1972

The BBWAA selects Mets southpaw Jon Matlack (15-10, 2.32) as the National League Rookie of the Year. The 22 year-old West Chester, PA native becomes the second player in team history to win the award, joining teammate Tom Seaver, who copped the honor in 1967.

1983

Mets' outfielder Darryl Strawberry breaks Los Angeles' four-year stronghold on the Rookie of the Year Award when he becomes the first non-Dodger to win the honor since 1978. Rick Sutcliffe, Steve Howe, Fernando Valenzuela, and Steve Sax had been the previous winners.

2009

Responding to the fans' ire that little was done to commemorate the team's past at Citi Field, the Mets announce the entrances now will be named for the persons who have had their number retired by the franchise, Gil Hodges, Tom Seaver, and Casey Stengel as well as naming the outfield bridge in honor of William Shea. Additionally, the venue will feature a team Hall of Fame and Museum, a display of full-color banners of Mets players in front of the Jackie Robinson Rotunda, and the light poles in the parking lots will feature team logos.
