Late last night, the Mets traded James McCann to the Orioles for a player to be named later. From the Mets Press Release: "In his two-year stint with the Mets, he hit .220/.282/.328 with 13 home runs and 64 RBI in 182 games with the club."
Also last night, the Mets signed infielder Danny Mendick. Mendick was non-tendered by the White Sox after the 2022 season. He played in 31 games last year with 3 HR, 15 RBIs, 7 walks, 23 Ks, .289/.343/.443 - .786 OPS while playing SS, 2B, 3B and 1 game in LF before tearing his right knee ligament.
More reactions on the Correa signing:
Metstradamus: We are Loved. "Steve Cohen seems straight out of the movies, but he’s very, very real. And the league woke up this morning realizing just how real and spectacular he is"
The Athletic: Inside Carlos Correa’s stunning pivot from Giants to Mets: ‘Correa-mas’ came early. "Boras grabbed his client. Correa had been staying down the hall. Upon hearing the offer from the Mets, Boras said, Correa tackled his agent and tossed him across the bed. 'C4,' Boras said, noting Correa’s uniform number, 'is explosive.' 'He was excited,' Boras added, 'about being a Met.'" (Subscription required).
YouTube: Stephen A. Smith and Mad Dog went at it about the deal on ESPN.
"Usually, you'll take how a guy has been dealing with certain issues over the past couple of years and factor that into the risk of signing a player"
