Joel Sherman NY Post: Mets will have hard time pulling off blockbuster trade. Joel notes the lack of good starters available, lack of Mets prospect depth, and lack of impact of Cohen’s money (nothing available going over luxury tax for).

Transactions:


New York Mets traded Todd Pratt to the Philadelphia Phillies for Gary Bennett on July 23, 2001.

New York Mets released Shaun Marcum on July 23, 2013.

Neil Ramirez granted free agency on July 23, 2017.

National Pastime.com: 

2000
After rejecting a trade to the Mets, 36 year-old Barry Larkin agrees to a three-year, $27 million contract extension to continue to play for the Reds. The deal will keep the former Rookie of the Year (1986), NL's MVP (1995), and 11-time All-Star shortstop in Cincinnati until 2003.
2011
For the first time in the 50-year history of the franchise, the Mets compile a 50-50 won-loss record after playing one hundred games. New York achieves the dubious distinction when they lose in Florida, 8-5.

Baseball Reference:

1965 - In a 5 - 1 win over the Mets, Phillies first baseman Dick Stuart homers at Shea Stadium, becoming the first player to have gone deep in 23 major league ballparks.

1996: In the pitchers' hell known as Coors Field, the Rockies take a pair from the Mets, out-slugging them, 10 - 7 and 11 - 10. The two games feature 59 hits, including eight home runs, off 17 pitchers. In the 1st inning of the nitecap, Dante Bichette, Andres Galarraga and Vinny Castilla hit consecutive homers off Pete Harnisch. Galarraga hits another in the 3rd, one of his six hits for the day.

1999: The Mets obtain P Kenny Rogers from the Athletics for OF Terrence Long and P Leoner Vasquez.
