Good Morning. Happy Birthday Gavin Cecchini, Jose Mena and Wilmer Reyes. R.I.P. Rickey Henderson. More first basemen make deals and Joey Meneses gets two more hits in Winter Ball.

Bill Madden NY Daily News: Where do Yankees, Mets stand after Juan Soto's move to Citi Field? "But even with the vast addition of Soto, does Stearns seriously envision the Mets going to the World Series with a rotation comprised of any kind of combination of Montas, Canning, Holmes, David Peterson, Tylor Megill, Kodai Senga (or a hopeful breakthrough by Brandon Sproat) — and not a legitimate No. 1 workhorse (a la Chris Sale, Zack Wheeler) among them? If he’s not interested in getting in on Corbin Burnes, it seems to me it would behoove Stearns to get in on the Mariners’ auction of Luis Castillo or the Marlins’ Jesus Luzardo. He has the prospect capital to get either one, and if he doesn’t do a major upgrade to his rotation, he is risking wasting Soto."
Newsday: Rickey Henderson, Hall of Famer and MLB's all-time leader in stolen bases and runs, dies at 65.
Rickey Henderson’s iconic career came with memorable seasons for Yankees and Mets: ‘Best player I ever played with’. "'Rickey Henderson was a dream to hit behind as teammate and a nightmare for a catcher as an opponent. He was one of the most generous, hysterical and gracious human beings..He will be sorely missed..Prayers for his soul and family,' Piazza wrote on his X account."
Jonathan Mayo MLB.com: "Who are some good comps for Jett Williams? – @baseballgods16 on Bluesky...Williams (MLB No. 52) is a Jose Altuve type with less power (Thanks to Sam Dykstra for the help). He’s more an on-base than batting average guy and I’ll want to see him bounce back from the injury and the so-so Arizona Fall League performance to live up to that."
It is becoming increasingly difficult to envision Pete Alonso winding up anywhere other than back in Queens. https://t.co/AJcE0AU7x0

First baseman Carlos Santana and the Cleveland Guardians are in agreement on a one-year, $12 million contract, pending physical, sources tell ESPN. The Guardians traded Josh Naylor, and now they bring the 38-year-old Santana back for his third stint with the organization.

Henderson, a Hall-of-Famer, MVP and 10-time all-star, played for the Yankees from 1985-1989 and the Mets from 1999-2000. He is MLB's all-time leader in stolen bases and runs scored.
