Anthony DiComo Mets.com: 'Dynamic' Mets 'pen on the verge of history with scorching start. "Through three games, Mets relievers have thrown 9 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings, or the equivalent of more than one full game...according to the Elias Sports Bureau...The franchise record to start a season is 12 2/3, which Billy Wagner, Pedro Feliciano and Co achieved in 2007."
Jon Heyman NY Post Sports+: Mets’ series loss to Astros does have share of silver linings. "1. Soto doesn’t seem negatively affected by his record paycheck ($126 million, counting the signing bonus, for 2025 alone)...2. Ultimately, Soto’s going to need some help...3. The Mets’ vaunted pitching lab remains mostly a mystery, but whatever it is they do, it seems to be working...4. Edwin Díaz looked nothing like the pitcher we saw in spring training. (subscription required)
Mike Puma NY Post Sports+: Mets’ Francisco Lindor out of answers for latest slow start: ‘I don’t know’. "Lindor, who went 0-for-11 in the series, was only one component of the Mets’ sluggish output. Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo and Mark Vientos were also quiet in the series, as only Juan Soto (who reached base seven times, including a homer) left an imprint." (subscription required)
NY Post: Mets owner Steve Cohen’s $8B casino project near Citi Field gets big boost from lawmaker with bill to build on parkland. "State Sen. John Liu introduced a bill Sunday proposing to redesignate the parking lots around the Queens baseball stadium from parkland to commercial use, which would allow the application for Cohen’s ambitious Metropolitan Park casino proposal to move forward."
Mike Puma NY Post: "Jeff McNeil is swinging a bat in the early stages of his comeback from a right oblique strain. The Mets second baseman, according to manager Carlos Mendoza, began hitting off a tee on Friday with a goal of soon progressing to soft toss."
Today's Game: Mets Vs. Miami Marlins 6:40PM. David Peterson the scheduled starter.

1994 | The Mets trade hard-luck right-hander Anthony Young to the Cubs for shortstop Jose Vizcaino. A-Yo holds the major league record for the most consecutive losses by a pitcher. |
1998 | In the longest scoreless opener in National League history, pinch-hitter Alberto Castillo's single with two outs and the bases loaded gives the Mets a 1-0, 14-inning victory over the Phillies. The most extended Opening Day game in major league history occurred in 1926 when the Senators blanked the Philadelphia A's in 15 innings, 1-0. |
2003 | At Shea Stadium, the Mets Opening Day lineup includes the first regular starting double-play combination in major league history featuring natives from Puerto Rico. Second baseman Roberto Alomar and shortstop Rey Sanchez combine to make two twin killings as the Cubs drub New York, 15-2. |
2001 - After 31 years in Three Rivers Stadium, the Pittsburgh Pirates move into their new $262 million home at PNC Park, losing to the New York Mets, 4 - 3, in an exhibition game. The 38,000 seat stadium is nestled at the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio rivers with a spectacular view of the city.
2010: With spring training coming to an end, the disabled list is getting crowded. Among those who will miss the beginning of the season are Mets SS Jose Reyes, who missed most of 2009 with injuries and joins teammates Daniel Murphy, Carlos Beltran and Kelvim Escobar on the list.
One Year ago today - the Mets and Francisco Lindo agreed on a contract extension:
Anthony DiComo Mets.com: Lindor, Mets have 10-year extension. “…a 10-year, $341 million contract extension, according to a source. The deal, which the Mets have not confirmed because it is not yet official, is the richest ever for a shortstop, and the third largest in Major League history. Lindor's previous $22.3 million salary for 2021 remains unchanged, making the Mets' total commitment to him $363.3 million over 11 seasons. He will be a Met until at least his 38th birthday.”
