NY Daily News Abbey Mastracco: Mets Notebook: Manager Carlos Mendoza makes spring training history. "According to El Extrabase, this game marked the first time two Venezuelan managers have faced one another in a spring training game. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza faced Astros’ bench coach Omar Lopez, who was managing the team’s B-squad while Joe Espada remained in West Palm with the A-team. The Mets also had a Venezuelan battery starting the game with Jose Butto pitching to Francisco Alvarez."
NY Post: Harrison Bader teaches Mets' prospect Drew Gilbert the importance of 'unseen' offseason hours. "If Bader could redo any part of his career, he said, he would not flash back to strikeouts or errors; he would have tried to find a daily routine earlier that worked for him as a young player."
