Good Morning. Happy Birthday Nolan Ryan and Bob Apodaca. Mets officially re-sign Ryne Stanek, Heyman says Mets talking to Padres about Dylan Cease and the Caribbean Series gets underway today with two games.
Section Links: Mets Links, MLB Links, Winter Baseball, and This Day in Mets History.
PRESS RELEASE: METS OFFICIALLY RE-SIGN RHP RYNE STANEK. "In a corresponding move, RHP Dylan Covey has been designated for assignment."
John Harper SNY.TV: Mets Offseason Report Card: Grading every key move, including recent bullpen additions. "Juan Soto: A+, Sean Manaea: A; A.J. Minter: A-; Ryne Stanek: A-; Jesse Winker B+; Clay Holmes: B; Frankie Montas: C; Jose Siri: C;"
Jon Heyman NY Post provides some of the latest Mets Rumors:
- The Mets...they’ve been trying for Padres rental ace Dylan Cease (and presumably would also consider rotation mate Michael King).
- Mets offered Mark Canha a non-guaranteed contract.
- Reds could develop as dark horse Pete Alonso landing spot as free agency drags on.
- The Mets haven’t yet strongly pursued Jose Iglesias, who belongs in Queens. OMG, does he ever!
Jon Heyman also said this in NY Post Sports+: Mets’ dramatic comeback in Juan Soto negotiations could be Pete Alonso blueprint. "Mets wound up winning that historic free-agent lottery..by smartly stressing family...while Alonso is also a big family guy, the market is obviously much more limited, and the dollars likely will ultimately determine the Mets’ chances, as is more typical."

In some good news, Mike Steffanos is back writting about the Mets on Mike's Mets.

1947 - Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan is born in Refugio, Texas. Ryan will make his major league debut in 1966 with the New York Mets, kicking off a major league record 27-year career. He will win 324 games with the Mets, California Angels, Houston Astros, and Texas Rangers.
1962 - The Mets sign former slugger Ralph Kiner, who joins Lindsey Nelson and Bob Murphy in the announcing booth.
1969: The National Association approves the use of the Designated Hitter for the International, Eastern, Texas and New York-Pennsylvania leagues. The rules vary slightly for each league. The Texas League will be the first to use the DH, in April. The American and National leagues agree to try experimental rule change in spring training using a designated pinch hitter, but they don't agree on the implementation. The AL tells the teams to use the DPH when they are the home team; the NL gives the home manager the choice of which rules to use, but the visiting manager has to agree. The Mets, Giants, and Cardinals say that they will not use the rules, and the Astros and Reds follow suit.
