Andy Martino SNY.TV: Mets Mailbag: On Luis Rojas' future, the luxury tax, and Noah Syndergaard's timeline.  Regarding Luis Rojas Andy had this: “He wasn't their pick, but he’s not a lame duck, either. Alderson has great admiration for Rojas as a person and felt that he had earned a chance to show he can handle the job in a full season. If he performs well, he’ll stay. But he’s definitely being evaluated by the new leadership.”

Danny Abriano SNY.TV: Predicting the Mets' 2024 roster: Prospects, trades, free agents, and keepers, Danny sees Francisco Alvarez and Pete Crow-Armstrong on the club along with Pete Alonso, Jeff McNeil, Michael Conforto, Brett Baty as the DH, and Matt Chapman coming via Free Agency and Jose Berrios being acquired in a trade.

SNY.TV: CC Sabathia says Marcus Stroman is 'dark horse' Cy Young Award candidate.

Mike Puma NY Post: What made Mets have to have reliever Sam McWilliams. “What did the Mets see in McWilliams, who is attempting to earn a bullpen job this spring? Mainly somebody who had improved his mechanics while replacing his two-seam fastball with a four-seamer, increasing his velocity a few ticks into the 95-96 mph range.”

Some of yesterday's Spring Training Highlights:







Here is yesterday's Spring Training Scoreboard.

Harvey yielded a two-run double to Randal Grichuk in the first and an opposite-field homer to Danny Jansen in the second, throwing 26 total pitches and hitting as high as 94 mph on the stadium radar gun. Harvey hit a batter and did not record a strikeout.

AP News: California to allow Major League Baseball, parks like Disneyland, live shows to resume at reduced capacity on April 1. 

Ken Davidoff NY Post: A minor league baseball revolution is coming. Ken spoke to Gary Green, the CEO of Alliance Group and it’s co-founder Larry Botel who own multiple minor league teams and Baseball America. “Botel said. ‘Minor League Baseball hasn’t acted like a professional league. Not taking advantage of media dollars and Internet platforms to generate revenue. We think that Major League Baseball taking us over will start to open the door to a lot of those revenue streams…’”

2016 - The Commissioner's office overturns the two-game suspension handed to Dodgers IF Chase Utley for a dangerous slide that injured the Mets' Ruben Tejada in last year's NLDS. The decision is because the rules regarding sliding at the time were too vague; they have since been strengthened.

Mets are showing a good team and good depth. Simply have to hope the pen works itself out.

I hope so Ernest. I think May and Diaz will be solid. They have some question marks out there. If half come out good - they will be in good shape
