NY Post: Mets inducting David Wright into team’s Hall of Fame and retiring his No. 5. "David Wright’s No. 5 will take its rightful place atop Citi Field alongside last year’s overdue recipients, Doc Gooden and Darryl Strawberry — as well as the Mets’ other team legends — on July 19, a baseball source confirmed Friday."
Newsday: Sources: Mets to retire David Wright's No. 5 jersey. Wright is the Mets’ all-time leader in hits (1,777), doubles (390), RBIs (970) and total bases (2,945). He’s also tops in WAR (49.2) among the club’s position players, according to Baseball Reference, and second to Darryl Strawberry with 242 home runs. He will be the ninth Mets player to have his number retired by the organization.
Tim Healey Newsday Three takeaways from the Mets at the Winter Meetings and 'Juan Soto Week. 1. The Mets should re-sign Pete Alonso. 2. The Mets are going to add to their bullpen. 3. The Mets think Soto can get better . . .. . . at defense in particular. 'He is probably about a league-average rightfielder, and we think he has the ability to get better,' Stearns said. 'And that's something that we actually talked to Juan about during our meetings with him. He is very motivated to continue to improve, to improve his defense. He got better this past year, and we think he can take another step forward.'”
"I couldn't be happier for anyone"

1995 | Free-agent Lance Johnson agrees to a two-year pact with the Mets in a deal reportedly worth more than five million dollars. 'Ol' One-Dog,' who led the American League in hits last season with 186 playing with the White Sox, will repeat the feat his first season in the Senior Circuit with 227 hits. |
2001 | The A's, needing to fill the void of a left-handed power hitter created by Jason Giambi's departure to the Yankees, trade southpaw reliever Mark Guthrie and minor league right-hander Tyler Yates to the Mets for David Justice. The Mets had acquired the designated hitter-outfielder a week ago in a deal which sent third baseman Robin Ventura to the Yankees. |
2007 | The Rangers invite Edgardo Alfonzo, a career .284 hitter, to spring training. The 34 year-old former All-Star infielder, who played with the Mets, Giants, Angels, and Blue Jays, spent last season in the independent Atlantic League playing with the Long Island Ducks. |
2013 | After inking Curtis Granderson to a four-year, $60 million contract earlier in the week, the Mets sign Bartolo Colon to a two-year, $20 million free-agent pact. The 40 year-old All-Star right-handed starter, who is slated to replace the innings the team will need as Matt Harvey recovers from Tommy John surgery, compiled an 18-6 record with a 2.65 ERA in 30 starts for the A's last season. |
