Rising Apple: 5 Black Friday NY Mets free agent starting pitcher deals David Stearns can buy. Spencer Turnbull, Trevor Williams, Matthew Boyd, Tomoyuki Sugano and Jakob Junis are mentioned.
Will Sammon The Athletic: Ex-Mets GM Jared Porter speaks about ‘inappropriate relationship’ for first time. "In January 2021, the Mets fired Porter within nine hours of an ESPN report that revealed he had sent dozens of inappropriate text messages to a female journalist. 'It was an inappropriate relationship for a lot of reasons,' Porter said while appearing on the podcast 'Baseball Isn’t Boring.' 'I put myself in that situation,' he continued. 'I made the decision to send the text message that I sent. And I certainly shouldn’t have done it.'...Porter’s tenure with the Mets lasted just 37 days."

I am thankful for reporters who don’t make up stories.

I am also thankful that Juan Soto has not agreed to any contract, which means you can get off Twitter and go spend the holiday with your family.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Mets.com:
- 1 reason for every team to be thankful "The Mets gave their fans the ride of a lifetime this October, and remember, they actually did it a year earlier than anyone expected. Now that we’ve seen where this team seems to be going, Mets fans have a whole offseason to watch their owner and front office add to it. This could get exciting."

Transactions:
New York Mets purchased Al Luplow from the Cleveland Indians on November 29, 1965.
New York Mets traded Ron Hunt and Jim Hickman to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Tommy Davis and Derrell Griffith on November 29, 1966.

1966 | The Dodgers trade Derrell Griffith and two-time batting champ Tommy Davis, who missed most of 1965 after severely breaking his ankle, to the Mets for Ron Hunt and Jim Hickman, who leaves New York the franchise's all-time home run leader with 60 round-trippers. The injured outfielder continues his hitting prowess, following a solid comeback season in LA with a very productive one-year stay in New York, leading the team in almost every offensive category. |
1995 | Charley Smith, the player traded to the Yankees from the Cardinals for Roger Maris in 1967, dies at the age of 57 in Reno, Nevada. In 1965, the third baseman was dealt to the Redbirds by the Mets, along with southpaw Al Jackson, to obtain Ken Boyer. |
2016 - OF Yoennis Cespedes re-signs with the Mets for four years and $110 million. This averages out to $27.5 million per year, the most ever for a position player. He had opted out of the remaining two years of his contract to have another stab at free agency.
