The Mets made the first cut of camp following the game against the Astros:
- RHP Alex Carillo was optioned to Triple-A
- LHP Anderson Severino and RHP Matt Turner were assigned to minor league camp.
MJ Melendez could win the MVP Award every year and I would still hear MJ and assume Michael Jordan
Yesterday, Jonah Tong told me, "MJ is a big card collector, I think he likes Pokemon too." My literal response was, "Michael Jordan likes Pokemon?!"
He meant MJ Melendez, the outfielder... That off day can't come soon enough!
It’s like the jokes write themselves!
Gotta keep the F, it adds the right amount of emphasis!
Freddy Peralta will be the Mets’ Opening Day starter
This is quite the senior stroll!
It's senior day at the ballpark in West Palm Beach. They get to "run" the bases and everything. I've never seen this before, but this feels very much like a Florida thing.
Nolan McLean appears to be in midseason form already
Switching up the scenery today
Carson Benge cannot emphasize enough how much he hates striking out. But he's not losing sleep over strikeouts, don't worry!
Jeff McNeil set the record at Pop Stroke several times over, including a few times at the Mets' annual team party. Without him, my money is on Nate Lavender, but David Peterson said his golf game was looking good before spring training so he could be a strong contender!
Mets pitchers the next three days: Jonah Tong, Nolan McLean, Freddy Peralta
Sure, but think of the fun the tabloids will have with the headlines about a "chilly" relationship and such!
This is extremely funny, but why is the city wasting tax dollars to launch an "investigation?"

Jorge Polanco wanted to transition to first base because he sees where the game is headed. How the new Mets first baseman is handling the switch, and why he thinks it's good that Brett Baty and Bo Bichette are also learning new positions.

Friends, frienemies and bots, we have baseball!
The Mets are giving Carson Benge as good of a chance as any to make the Opening Day roster. With Grapefruit League games set to start this weekend, where does he stand?

The Mets broke ground on their new minor league complex, a 55,000 square foot facility with several new amenities, including a new weight room, new locker room and a hydrotherapy room with cold plunge pools and treadmill pools.
Deep cut? Maybe. Legendary? Yes
FINALLY!
I can't believe more people aren't making Marty Brodeur jokes right now
Since Steve Cohen talked about clubhouse leadership, here's Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor talking about their relationship, and Marcus Semien with his thoughts on going from a captain in Texas to a new guy in Queens.

Jonah Tong, after throwing today: “I saw C Scott back there and I was like, “YES!”
The “yes” was said VERY emphatically with a fist pump
Jonah Tong has an audience for live BP today
Spring training, Day 3: My hotel room door broke and someone parked in my spot at the ballpark. Doing great!
