NY Post Sports+: What the Mets know, and still need to find out, at each position this spring. Mike Puma runs down all the positions and potential backups then talks about what the Pete Alonso signing has changed the Mets PECOTA ratings noting - "The Alonso effect: Baseball Prospectus’ early PECOTA projections place the Mets at 91 wins, second to the Braves in the NL East. The return of Pete Alonso boosted the Mets PECOTA win projection by a full two games." (Subscription Required)
Jonathan Mayo MLB Pipeline: Inbox: Who will join the Top 100 when Crews, Wilson and Lowder graduate? " It will almost certainly be Mets outfielder Carson Benge. The Mets took Benge in the first round (No. 19 overall) in last year’s Draft after he posted a 1.109 OPS with 18 homers and 10 steals at Oklahoma State. He’s a former two-way player, and that plus arm would look really good in right, though he might have the skills to stick in center while providing above-average power."

Ex-Marlins President David Samson talks on YouTube about how Baseball is dangerously moving to a lockout.
Jayson Stark The Athletic NFL is the parity league? MLB would like a word. As David Samson mentions in the clip from YouTube, Jayson Stark sets the record on Parity between Baseball and Football noting: "Want to guess how many teams have played in the last nine Super Bowls? Believe it or not, it’s only eight. Yes, eight. Out of a potential 18 slots, just these eight teams have shown up: The Chiefs, Eagles, Patriots, 49ers, Buccaneers, Rams, Falcons and Bengals. Meanwhile, in the Sport That’s Broken (baseball), you know how many teams have played in the last nine World Series? That would be 12: The Dodgers, Yankees, Rangers, Diamondbacks, Astros, Phillies, Braves, Rays, Nationals, Red Sox, Cubs and Indians. So the biggest myth of all is that baseball is that sport where you can just buy yourself a parade. In the last 15 seasons, the team with one of the sport’s biggest payrolls has won it all exactly twice — the Dodgers last year and the Red Sox in 2018." (Subscription Required)
