Good Morning. Happy Birthday Sergio Ferrer. Reports say the Mets are talking again to Pete Alonso and Pete lands at #8 on MLB Networks top 1B list.
Section Links: Mets Links, MLB Links, Winter Baseball, and This Day in Mets History.
Jon Heyman NY Post Sports+: Francisco Lindor needs to be Mets’ next captain. Jon also says this about Pete Alonso - "No more than 48 hours after publicly lamenting the seemingly endless saga (and helping quell the boos after baseball president David Stearns told fans how wonderful their prospects are), Cohen was back in conversation with Alonso’s camp...Truly, it’s hard to know what to make of the ongoing saga involving the National League’s top home run hitter since he came into the league and one of the most prolific in the history of the franchise. But from my drama-free distance, it feels like Alonso desperately hopes to return while the Mets could go either way."
On @Honda SportsNite, @emacSNY and @NYNJHarper discuss the latest on after negotiations have reportedly resumed with the Mets after Steve Cohen's comments on Amazin' Day, as well as trade talks surrounding Ryan Mountcastle & Michael King https://t.co/RJh7IrnBS0 pic.twitter.com/bNMYI0Xm3w

“Brandon Nimmo is the reason for Pete Alonso - Mets Fiasco
— Matt.S (@mattskumar1) January 28, 2025
2022- Boras gets 162M/8YR for Nimmo
So Nimmo recommends to Pete & he fires his old agent & gets Boras “
A crazy fan take 💀😄

"To put the blame on Stearns or Cohen, that's just foolish. This is on Pete Alonso, not the Mets."

Born on this date:
- Sergio Ferrer (1951)
- Kevin Roberson (1968)
Transactions:
New York Mets signed free agent Shane Spencer on January 29, 2004.
New York Mets signed free agent Scott Atchison of the Boston Red Sox on January 29, 2013.
Detroit Tigers signed Wilson Ramos of the New York Mets as a free agent on January 29, 2021
1989 | The game-winning RBI statistic is dropped with Mets' first baseman Keith Hernandez being the all-time leader with 129 GW RBIs, and Orioles' first baseman Eddie Murray led the American League with 117 in the nine-year span the stat existed. The defunct rule, which was first employed in 1980, was much maligned by many players because the stat did not truly reflect clutch performance. |
2006 |
2008 | A conditional 4-for-1 trade with the Twins brings Johan Santana to the Mets in exchange for pitching prospects Philip Humber, Kevin Mulvey, Deolis Guerra, and fleet-footed outfielder Carlos Gomez. New York has three days to come to terms with the two-time Cy Young Award winner, who has a no-trade clause and can veto the transaction if his new team is unable to sign him. |
2000 - The New York Mets announce that singer Garth Brooks will participate in spring training with the team. Brooks worked out last spring with the San Diego Padres going 1 for 22 for a .045 batting average.
1/29/1989 Major League Baseball drops the “Game-Winning RBI” statistics with Mets first baseman, Keith Hernandez, holding the record at 129. Starting in 1980, the statistic applied to a batter whose, “RBI gives a club the lead it never relinquishes.” @keithhernandez pic.twitter.com/hjHVlLM2Rx
