Good Morning. MLB makes a new proposal to the players, we have more on the Met Draft and there will be baseball in the USA starting July 3rd - the Indy American Association that is.

MLB Trade Rumors: Indy Ball American Association Announces Plan To Resume Play. It’ll begin play on July 3rd and host contests in three cities. The three hub cities — Fargo, North Dakota; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Sioux Falls, South Dakota — were selected in large part because live attendance was permissible under local regulations.
CBS
Sports: MLB Draft 2020 grades: Mets, Cardinals, Rays earn 'A' for solid hauls;
Yankees, Red Sox among worst marks. “The
Mets draft boils down to signing three players: outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong
(a defensive dynamo and potential leadoff hitter); right-hander J.T. Ginn (a
possible top-10 pick before he blew out his elbow this spring); and outfielder
Isaiah Greene (another centerfielder with power potential). Each has the chance
to provide the Mets with a ridiculous return on investment relative to where
they were selected. Say what you will about the other aspects of Brodie Van
Wagenen's bold approach to running a team, but it makes for exciting draft
classes.”
Tomahawk
Take: Grading how Atlanta Braves NL East rivals navigated the 2020 draft. Mets
“GRADE: D if they fail to sign either
Ginn or Crow-Armstrong; B if they sign both.
Their last 3 (all low-ranked) picks are obviously intended to save money
to sign the top two guys, so they are certainly going to try hard to get both signed.
So they are going for broke on just 2 picks... that ploy is definitely a theme
as we progress through the division.”

Crow-Armstrong. “He’s a natural center fielder. The way he moves, his first
step, his reads, the way he can cheat on balls, his knack for being able to
communicate all put him in the middle of the field.”

(Mets Blog): Mets' Pete Alonso shares an idea for socially distanced
celebrations during 2020 MLB season. "Or what we should do is like use
the hose to spray the person down, like the field crew hose," said Pete Alonso.
"I don't know."

NY
Post: International buyer emerges in possible bid to buy Mets. “According
to multiple sources familiar with the market for the Amazin’s, if there are
three or more bidders for the team, New York has a real mystery on its hands.
However, a source familiar with the process said at least one of the suitors is
international, declining to give further details.”

(MetsBlog): The offer, for 72 games at 83% pro-rata, guarantees more money
to players than a 50-game season at 100% pro-rata. It is the first of MLB's
offers to do so. MLB'S previous offer
would have suspended draft pick compensation for free agents this winter. In
the current offer, the union can decide what it wants to do with draft pick
comp. The deadline for the union to accept or reject this offer is Sunday. The
union will reject it. But there is hope that conversations will continue and
lead to an agreement next week.
Ken
Davidoff NY Post: Biting letter shows how ugly it’s getting between MLB, union.
In a statement, the PA said, “Mr. Halem’s [deputy commissioner Dan Halem to his
MLB Players Association] self-serving letter is filled with inaccuracies and
incomplete facts. We will respond to that and the league’s latest proposal in
short order. It should not be forgotten however that even MLB admits that our
March Agreement does not require players to agree to further pay cuts.”

clubs that crushed this year's Draft: 1. Tigers; 2. Marlins; 3. Rockies; 4.
Orioles; 5. Padres; 6. Indians; Honorable mentions - Blue Jays; Phillies.
Yahoo
Sports: As coronavirus risks resurface, MLB and players remain mired in ugly,
public spat over money. “The paperwork says the team owners on Friday
offered a 72-game season and an expanded postseason over which the players
could make about 83 percent of their full prorated salaries. That won’t be good
enough again. And so the outcome of that proposal is a few more days of games
gone, another sliver of summer gone, and that’s about it.”
Joel
Sherman NY Post: Player and MLB pitching coach tested positive for coronavirus.
“No one would name the people who contracted the virus. But those aware of the
situation say the pitching coach had the virus weeks ago and is now recovered.
The 40-man roster player was described as having contracted the virus more
recently, but with the belief that he has not infected anyone else involved in
the game.”

Alex Cora: Astros' sign stealing wasn't two-man show. "If there is one
thing I am absolutely sure of, it is that it was not a two-man show. We all did
it. And let me be very clear that I am not denying my responsibility, because
we were all responsible."

1965

At Shea Stadium, 20 year-old outfielder
Ron Swoboda, in-route to finishing the season with 19, breaks the franchise
record for home runs hit by a rookie when he goes deep off Dick Ellsworth in
the first inning with a three-run homer, a poke that will provide all of the
runs the Mets will score in their 3-2 victory over Chicago. Jim Hickman had
established the mark with 13 round-trippers in 1962, the club's inaugural
season.

1976

The Mets sweep the Giants in a twin
bill at Candlestick Park, 4-2 and 4-1. The victories mark the first time in
17 tries that the team has won two games on the same day.

2012
|
R.A. Dickey, who gives up only a
first-inning infield single for his second career one-hitter in the Mets' 9-1
victory over the Rays, breaks the franchise record for consecutive scoreless
innings. The 37 year-old knuckleballer, surpassing the previous club mark of
31.2 scoreless innings in a row set by Jerry Koosman in 1973, establishes a
new mark of 32.2 frames before an unearned run in the ninth inning snaps his
string.

1980: Vida Blue of the San Francisco Giants defeats the Mets, 3 - 1, as Milt May hits franchise home run #9,000 for the
Giants. Monte Ward hit home run #1 for
the Giants in 1883, and
#8,000 was hit by Bobby Bonds on September 4, 1971.
2012: R.A. Dickey of the Mets tosses a one-hitter for a 9 - 1 win over
the Rays. The
only safety comes in the 1st inning, when B.J. Upton hits a high bouncer
that 3B David Wright cannot field with his bare hand; the Mets appeal after the
game for the ruling to be reversed to an error, but to no avail. Dickey
becomes the majors' first 10-game winner this year, but before the night is
out, he is joined by Lance Lynn of St. Louis, who fans a career-high 12 batters in a combined 1 - 0 shutout of the White Sox.
2013: Adam Wainwright becomes the first ten-game winner in the majors this season
when the Cardinals defeat the Mets, 2 - 1. Wainwright pitches
seven scoreless innings, while Matt Harvey is saddled with his first loss, in spite of a very good
performance of his own.

Sign the top 3, great draft. Miss on one, not so great. Reminds me of last year. If They did their homework, then they should be able to sign all three, and putting back to back draft years together like this would be excellent. If we sign all three.
Tom - think they will get PCA (CAA) client. If they don't get JT then they will get #3 as that will free up $
I don't understand why Jeff would openly discuss 'three more' suitors.
Is he looking for more? Less? Making this up?
