Good Morning. Happy Birthday Lucas Duda. Si.com makes the case for a Jose Iglesias return, Jack Flaherty back with the Tigers and Mexico remains undefeated in the Caribbean series.

SI.com: Why Mets Should Still Bring Back Jose Iglesias. "Bringing back Iglesias offers value that extends beyond his on-field production. The veteran infielder was pivotal to the Mets' turnaround last year, providing leadership in the clubhouse and helping to energize the fan base with a hit song that became that team’s rallying cry...the only way to know if last year was a fluke is to bring him back."
Tomorrow, the SNY crew reports to Port St. Lucie for Mets spring training!

Transactions:
New York Mets signed free agent Ed Hearn on February 3, 1983.
Minnesota Twins signed Jeff Innis of the New York Mets as a free agent on February 3, 1994.
St. Louis Cardinals signed Shawon Dunston of the New York Mets as a free agent on February 3, 2000.
New York Mets signed free agent Kyle Farnsworth on February 3, 2014.
New York Yankees signed Luis Avilan of the New York Mets as a free agent on February 3, 2020.
1999 | The Mets tell a surprised Tim McCarver that he will not be returning to the team's broadcast booth. The franchise's pitching legend Tom Seaver, who was in the television booth for the Yankees from 1989 to 1993, will replace the highly regarded, but outspoken 57 year-old broadcaster, who spent 16 years with the team doing local telecasts. |
2002 | Yankee catcher Jorge Posada (.277, 22, 95) signs a five-year, $51 million contract with a club option for a sixth season. The 30 year-old Bronx Bomber backstop, with an average annual value of more than $10 million, is the second-highest among major league catchers, trailing only the receiver Mike Piazza, who signed a seven-year, $91 million deal with the Mets in 1998 that averages $13 million annually. |
2009 | Oliver Perez agrees to a $36 million, three-year deal to stay with the Mets. The 29 year-old inconsistent southpaw, who has posted a 26-20 record with New York since being obtained from Pittsburgh during the 2006 season, will be part of the team's starting rotation. |
2011 | A lawsuit brought by the victims of Bernie Madoff name Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz, contending the Mets owners' enriched themselves with many years of profitable investing in the Ponzi Scheme while ignoring many warnings that the payoffs might have been fraudulent. Speculation concerning the sale of the team, to meet the financial obligations caused by a possible $1 billion settlement, has started circulating in the sports and banking industries. |
2010: Nelson Figueroa strikes out 8 in a complete game 7 - 1 victory, leading Escogido over Hermosillo on the second day of the 2010 Caribbean Series. A solo home run by Carlos Valencia is the only blemish on Figueroa's record, while his teammate with the Mets last season, Fernando Martinez, hits a two-run homer for the winners.
