Good Morning. Happy Birthday former Mets Coach Dave Jauss. Mets sign top International Free Agent Elian Pena, claim a RHP off waivers and push Pete Alonso for a decision.
Section Links: Mets Links, MLB Links, Winter Baseball, and This Day in Mets History.
Mets sign International Free Agent Elian Pena "Per Baseball America and multiple reports on X, the New York Mets have signed SS Elian Pena to a $5 million signing bonus. This represents almost all of the Mets $6.2 million International Free Agent pool."
1/15/25 Mets Roster Moves: Mets claim Austin Warren off Waivers "The New York Mets have announced on X that they have claimed RHP Austin Warren off waivers from the San Francisco Giants. Warren had Tommy John Surgery in 2023 when a member of the Angels. The Giants signed him last Winter and he also spent time on the IL in 2024. He split time last year with the Giants and minor leagues appearing in 6 games, 10.2 innings, 1.69 ERA, 1.313 WHIP, 9 hits, 1 HR, 5 walks, 7 Ks."

"Very unique situation where you're able to bring in someone of his talent and caliber into the organization out of the international signing process."

Mets relief bit: They’ve been interested lately in lefthander Tim Hill, per source.
— Tim Healey (@timbhealey) January 15, 2025
Hill had a 2.05 ERA in 35 appearances after joining the Yankees last year (plus a 1.08 ERA in 10 postseason games).
He would be a good fit for the Mets, who could use relievers/a lefty.
I have been watching Mets baseball for a long time. Endy Chavez made perhaps the best defensive play in our postseason history and I don’t feel the catch has gotten the credit it really deserves. https://t.co/C3QstelfWx

|
2002 |
Pedro Astacio (8-14, 5.09) agrees to a one-year, $5
million incentive-laden free-agent deal with the Mets. The 32-year-old
right-hander, after being traded to the Astros by the Rockies last season,
developed shoulder problems. |
|
2003 |
Gary Carter will become the first player, and most likely
the only one, to wear an Expos hat on his Hall of Fame plaque. Although the
former catcher had expressed his wish to be immortalized as a member of the
Mets, the team which presently employs him, and the franchise he helped win
the 1986 World Series, Cooperstown decided the 'Kid' should enter the Hall
with a Montreal logo. |
|
2020 |
The Mets and recently-hired skipper Carlos Beltrán
announced they have "agreed to mutually part ways," due to his role
in the Astros' cheating scheme of using electronics to steal signs. The move
follows the dismissal of Red Sox manager Alex Cora, Houston's bench coach in
2017, when Beltrán, the only player mentioned by name in the Commissioner's
nine-page report, played for the team. |
1986 - The Minnesota Twins trade Tim Teufel and Pat Crosby to the New York Mets in exchange for Billy Beane, Bill Latham, and Joe Klink. Minnesota also trades Dave Engle to the Tigers for Chris Pittaro and Alejandro Sanchez. Teufel will platoon with Wally Backman during the Mets' championship run this season.
1996: Major League Baseball's executive council approves a history-making first: interleague play for the 1997 season. The Players' Association will also give its approval, enabling geographic rivals like New York's Mets and Yankees, Chicago's Cubs and White Sox, and Los Angeles' Angels and Dodgers to play each other during the regular season.
2020: Carlos Beltran becomes the third manager to lose his job as a result of the sign-stealing scandal linked to the 2017 Astros. He is dismissed by the Mets after being the only player named in the investigation report made public by the Commissioner's office. His firing follows that of A.J. Hinch and Alex Cora a few days earlier. Having been named to the position after the 2019 season, he never had an opportunity to actually manage a game.
