SNY.TV: Mets signing RHP Andrew Carson to minor league deal: reports. "The Mets are signing RHP Andrew Carson from the University of Tampa to a minor league deal, according to multiple reports. He pitched to a 1.06 ERA and 0.91 WHIP over 34.0 innings in 14 games last year, earning 2024 ABCA/Rawlings NCAA Div. II South All-Region First Team honors."
Bill Madden NY Daily News: Everybody’s happy Pete Alonso is back with Mets, but Polar Bear needs big season. "A good “one dimensional” comparison to Alonso in 2024 is Chris Carter, the hulking first baseman for the Brewers in 2016. Alonso hit 34 homers, struck out 172 times and had an OPS of .788 last year. When Carter was 30 in 2016, he hit .222 and led the majors with 206 strikeouts, but also led the league in homers with 41, drove in 94 runs and had an OPS of .821. Yet at the end of the season he was released by the Brewers. And the GM who released him was David Stearns."
Anthony Dicomo Mets.com: Everything you need to know for Mets Spring Training. "How about a few other notable spring games? Over the past few years, the Mets have played a geographically tight schedule, with most of their games coming against the nearby Cardinals, Marlins, Astros and Nationals. That will again be the case, with five exceptions: March 1 and 17 against the Rays, March 2 and 13 against the Red Sox, and March 24 -- the spring finale -- against the Yankees."
Manny Gomez NJ.com: Padres’ Dylan Cease price tag revealed. "Are Mets willing to pay? In December, the Mets were in pursuit of another ace, left-hander Garrett Crochet, who wound up being traded to the Boston Red Sox. New York didn’t land him because they would not give up both pitching prospect Brandon Sproat and shortstop/outfield prospect Jett Williams...If the Mets were unwilling to trade those prospects for Crochet, 25, they won’t do it for Cease, 29, who is a free agent at the end of the season."
