Mets: Kevin Parada, C (No. 3/MLB No. 40)
Goodbye, one No. 1 catching prospect. Hello to another. With the full expectation that Francisco Álvarez will graduate next season, Parada should slide comfortably into the Mets’ top spot assuming all goes well. The Georgia Tech product was a bit of a coup at 11th overall considering he shows plus hit and power tools at the premium position of backstop. Like Álvarez, defense will likely be a focus in the Minors, but the bat should play quickly in his first full season of 2023.

Playoff games managed diff. Shorter leashes lead to longer relief outings for our back-end starters.

Trading personal lives
It wasn’t exactly a trade sanctioned by any baseball league, but the transaction between Yankees players Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich remains one of the weirdest of all time. In 1972, the two Yankees pitchers traded lives, switching their houses, wives, kids, and even their dogs.
They announced the swap during ’73 spring training, in separate press conferences. “Don’t say this was wife-swapping, because it wasn’t. We didn’t swap wives, we swapped lives,” Kekich said.

Nobody will want to face Mets in playoffs.
My son was friends with Peterson's kid at the time. Went to the same school.
Wow, weird stuff there.
Did they switch girlfriends?
Watched the Rumble Ponies' game last night.
Two pieces of good news - Wyatt Young had a very good game - triple, single, couple of walks. He looked in control at the plate. He also showed me more speed than I thought he had on the triple - really flew around the base path. He also picked up a steal which was more of a
recognition of defensive positioning than a pure speed move.
Second piece - Tylor Megill looked good in a relief role, pitching the top of the 6th. 19 pitches, 3 K's, consistently hit 95-97 on the fastball and threw the change 7mph lower. He pitched from the stretch the entire time without runners on base. Looking forward to seeing what he can do from the Mets' pen later this month.
Oh God, I hope Tom doesn't read this...
Mack, Tylor and Wyatt are like sons to me.
Families.
Terrance Gore,any thoughts?
Only fleeting thoughts.
