New York Mets sold Don Cardwell to the Atlanta Braves on July 12, 1970.

New York Mets signed free agent Marlon Anderson of the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 12, 2007.

New York Mets traded Francisco Rodriguez to the Milwaukee Brewers for Danny Herrera and Adrian Rosario on July 12, 2011.

National Pastime.com: 

2011

A half-hour after the Midsummer Classic is completed, the Mets send former All-Star reliever Francisco Rodriguez and cash to the Brewers for two players to be named later. K-Rod, an outstanding closer for the Mets and Angels, will be used primarily as a set-up man for Milwaukee's John Axford.

Baseball Reference:

1977: Steve Henderson hits a game-winning home run off Bruce Sutter to give the Mets a 4 - 2 victory over the Cubs. After the game the Cubs relief ace admits his arm is bothering him, and asks to be excused from the All-Star Game. Bleeding will be found in Sutter's arm and he will get the week off after the All-Star break to rest it.

2015:  Kirk Nieuwenhuis hits three home runs to lead the Mets to a 5 - 3 win over the Diamondbacks; Nieuwenhuis is the 10th player to have a three-homer game for the Mets, but the first ever to do so at home.

Bullet by Alvarez. Learn English ASAP for future MLB interviews. Baty in English is easily engaging.

I wonder if any of those Brooklyn homers would have gone out at home?

Kumar…ETA 2022? Why not?

Question for Mack…if Bachman and Kumar were available at 1:10, which do you select?

Splitting a four-game series against the lowly Pirates at home counts as a loss to me. Maybe, instead of looking at Frazier or Reynolds, the Mets should ask about Ronaldo Castro. He sure can hit pitches that are right over the heart of the plate, we know that.

Next month, the Mets play exclusively against the Dodgers, Giants and Nats from the 10th through the 29th. We'll see where they stand after that.

HOPEFULLY, Carrasco and Peterson will be back by then to fortify the back end of the rotation, but if it's only one of them it looks like we'll ne happy with Megill.

If everyone stays healthy, 🤞, we'll have a rotation as good as or better than any in MLB.
