Mets: 

 

SNY @SNYtv Mar 25, 2024: 

When Doc Gooden got the call from Steve Cohen that his number would be retired by the Mets, he was brought to tears: "I wanted to go back to the Mets to make it right with the fans. Now, I get an opportunity."

 "Dr. K" premieres Thursday at 4:30 p.m. on SNY.

 


 Nick Piecoro @nickpiecoro Mon, Mar 25, 2024:

 Closer Paul Sewald has a Grade 2 left oblique strain and will open the year on the injured list, Torey Lovullo said

 


Matt Kawahara  @matthewkawahara Mar 25, 2024:

Justin Verlander will throw a two-inning live BP tomorrow at Minute Maid Park. If it goes well, he could start a rehab assignment next, Joe Espada said.

 

 

Benny BKG @BennyGreenberg Mar 25, 2024:

My Take on Spring Training - mets look much better than expected in the Pitching Dept., and if they cannot score more than 3 runs/game (on average) it won't matter.

 


Brooklyn Cyclones @BKCyclones  Mar 25, 2024:

D'Andre Smith is ready for a banner 2024 season.

The 2023 Cyclone sits down with Justin Rocke to discuss his experience in the MLB az Fall League, playing with his college teammate, last summer in Brooklyn, and more!

MetsMinors.Net @Mets_Minors Mon, Mar 25, 2024:

Right-handed pitchers Dylan Ross and Bryce Montes de Oca have been placed on the 60-day injured list.


 

Abbey Mastracco  @AbbeyMastracco  Mon, Mar 25, 2024:

Carlos Mendoza might be the manager of the Mets but he’s still a dad.

Before he came to the ballpark in Tampa this morning he had to pick up homework for one of his kids at school.

 


Ernest Dove @ernestdove  Mon, Mar 25, 2024:

It remains my opinion that Mark Vientos is not suited based on his skill set to be a bench piece. He needs to play everyday one way or another. I don't really want further debates with those who feel he's trash because I know your thoughts already. Daily or on another team IMO.

SNY  @SNYtv  Mar 25, 2024:

"I love going to play every single night with this group and representing the city."

Pete Alonso says the Mets' success -- not his own -- will define his legacy in Queens

Pete Alonso talks about the role past Mets legends had on their teams and how he wants to have that, as well:

"Not their numbers, but what I look at is the role they played on each team. Obviously, David (Wright) was extremely influential here, being the captain and being on…

 


Mike Puma @NYPost_Mets  Mon, Mar 25, 2024:

Mets are going to wear a uniform patch this season to honor Buddy Harrelson

Nathan Arterbridge - '24 C, St. George's Tech HS, DE

MSU Bear Baseball commit

Decisive hitter with high power potential. Good athlete at 6'1" 205 lbs. Physical defensive catcher with an accurate arm from behind the plate (2.08 pop).

 

Aaron Fitt @aaronfitt  Mar 25, 2024:

My impressions on Clemson Baseball and Florida State after a truly wild weekend that saw the Tigers mount 2 manic, insane comebacks. The Noles need answers in the bullpen, but the lineup and rotation are Omaha-caliber. And Clemson has that "it" factor:

 

High School:

 

Joe Doyle @JoeDoyleMiLB  Mon, Mar 25, 2024:

Hardee SS Kellon Lindsey is perhaps the biggest "pop-up" draft prospect in 2024. A two-sport star, Lindsey is an elite runner receiving Trea Turner comps. It's first round tools... but what makes Lindsey tick?

"Thank goodness I don't have a girlfriend."

So….it seems Bryce Montes de Oca is still in play, if he is added to the 60 day list. He had the surgery 12 months (plus a week?) ago. Good.

Nice D’Andre Smith videos and interview. He is very athletic, let’s see a big year from him in 2024.

Justin V gets $1.25 million per start, whether he makes the start or not. For the Mets, he was just an overpaid 6 game winner.

Ernest is right, logjam at AA and AAA, both for hitters and for pitchers. Better be seeing some .600 ball at both levels.

Let's get rid of the Mets AAAA players and give the kids a shot.

Mack,
Can we get a list of the minor league rosters when they are complete? The team pages, as of yesterday, were still listing what appeared to be winter rosters.

Mack Ade said...

Yes

I will post them

Mack Ade said...

That's fine

Look for minor league rosters to be released NEXT Wednesday or Thursday
