NY Post: Juan to watch $765 million man Juan Soto homers in first Mets spring training at-bat in epic moment: ‘Going to be unforgettable’


Tim Healey Newsday: Mets' Clay Holmes debuts changeup as transition to starter continues. "He changed from Yankees to Mets. He is changing from reliever to starter. And he has added a changeup to an expanding repertoire in the expanded role...All of the above went well Saturday, with Holmes throwing three perfect innings in a 6-2 win against the Astros..Holmes came away pleased that he was able to mix in all six of his pitches: sinker, sweeper, changeup, cutter, four-seam fastball, slider."


Joel Sherman NY Post Sports+: Juan Soto immediately shows Mets fans why he’s must-see superstar. "For the second-largest opening crowd in St. Lucie history, the Mets unfurled a starry top three in the order of Francisco Lindor, Soto and Alonso. Holmes was so efficient and excellent, including with his new changeup, that he needed to throw another 15-ish pitches in the bullpen after his flawless three innings."


Bill Madden NY Daily News: Reminder to Juan Soto that it is still all about the pitching. "They parted ways with Luis Severino and Quintana from their rotation and are they going to adequately replace the combined 21 wins and mostly quality 352 innings they got from those two last year?"


Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: Mets manager Carlos Mendoza: Dedniel Nuñez will make Opening Day roster if healthy. "However, after pronator and flexor injuries in his right elbow last season, the Mets can only write his name in with pencil, not pen."


Tim Healey Newsday: "Johan Santana arrived for a stay as a guest instructor. He spent time with Sean Manaea, who recently listed Santana as his favorite player as a kid . . . The Mets drew a sold-out crowd of 7,394 at Clover Park."

From National Pastime.com:

2013

Jason Bay, who mutually agreed to terminate his contract with the Mets in November after three years of futility in New York, clouts a two-run homer in his first at-bat of spring training in the Mariners' 8-6 exhibition victory over the Padres. The likable, but oft-injured outfielder signed with Seattle in the offseason for $1 million, a far cry from the four-year, $66-million free-agent deal he inked when he left Boston for the Big Apple in 2009.

2016

At a news conference at Borough Hall in Queens, the Mets announce the team will host an LGBT Pride Night on August 13 at Citi Field, featuring discounted seating for the game against the Padres and a free postgame concert. A portion of the proceeds from each ticket sold at Mets.com/pride for the event, which is expected to attract more than 5,000 lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender fans, will benefit the LGBT Network, a non-profit organization, and its Safe Schools Initiative working to stop bullying in Long Island and Queens.
