4/24/25: Mets Roster Moves - Baty, Senger to AAA, McNeil activated. "New York Mets optioned 2B Brett Baty to Syracuse Mets. Brett homered in Wednesday's game but hit just .204/.246/.352 as compared to Luisangel Acuna who hit .283/.356/.377.  Brett was not able to sustain his great Spring Training where he hit .353/.441/.745."

Tim Healey Newsday: "The wild card is what step forward Alvarez can take. He still is only 23 years old. His ceiling absolutely is higher than the 28-year-old Torrens’. All of the talent that made him an elite prospect can make him an elite catcher and hitter. But he has to actually do it. He has to earn it."

NY Post: "Removing Baty from the roster means Luisangel Acuña, who has played excellent defense up the middle, who could become an option in center field and who has begun to hit, will remain in the majors. So will José Azócar, a 28-year-old who can patrol each outfield spot, is 3-for-7 thus far and could not be optioned without being exposed to waivers."

Today's Game:

Mets @ Nationals, 6:45 p.m.  Kodai Senga the scheduled starter.

  • Mike Lupica: Best player in the NL so far? Polar Bear has iced the competition "Juan Soto, who used to bat ahead of Judge and now hits ahead of Alonso, hasn’t started to hit the way he can -- and the way he will -- yet. Francisco Lindor, hitting ahead of Soto, has been terrific. But it is Alonso who has been the Mets' best hitter so far, leading the team in just about everything, starting with a batting average of .341 through the victory over the Phillies that enabled the Mets to have that rousing 7-0 homestand before they head down to Washington to play the Nationals."

    1963

    In the second year of their existence, the Mets win a game on a Thursday for the first time in franchise history when they beat Chicago at Wrigley Field, 3-2. During their inaugural season, the expansion team failed to register a victory in the 15 games played on the fifth day of the week.

    1984

    In a 2-1 victory over Montreal at Olympic Stadium, Mets right-hander Dwight Gooden becomes the first teenager to strike out ten batters in a major league game since Bert Blyleven accomplished the feat with the Twins in 1970. The 19 year-old rookie will lead the National League with 276 strikeouts this season.

    2000

    Honoring the work stoppage called by Cuban-Americans over the Elian Gonzalez immigration controversy, Marlins Alex Fernandez, Vladimir Nunez, Michael Tejera, and Mike Lowell, Devil Rays' Jose Canseco, and Mets' Rey Ordonez and Cookie Rojas do not participate in major league action. The protest stems from the federal district court's ruling that the five year-old boy must be returned to his father in Cuba, taking him away from the maternal relatives living in Miami.

    2012

    David Wright becomes the Mets' all-time RBI leader with 735 runs batted in when he hits a two-run home run in the team's 5-1 victory over the Marlins at Citi Field. The 29 year-old third baseman passes Darryl Strawberry's franchise mark with his sixth-inning blast off Mark Buehrle.

    Baseball Reference:

    1962 - Catcher Harry Chiti is traded for himself when the Cleveland Indians send him to the New York Mets in exchange for a player to be named later. On June 15th, the Mets will sell Chiti back to Cleveland to complete the deal.

    2010Mike Pelfrey throws a rain-shortened five-inning shutout as the Mets complete a series sweep of the Braves, 1 - 0, at Citi Field. Pelfrey is in trouble all five innings, but manages to escape unscathed in extending his string of scoreless innings to 24. It is actually Raul Valdes who is on the mound for New York when the game is stopped in the top of the 6th, but everything after the 5th is wiped out, giving Pelfrey credit for a complete game. The game's lone run comes when Jose Reyes runs wild in spite of the sloppy conditions, stealing second after a two-out bloop single in the 1st, and coming to score on Jason Bay's infield single when 3B Chipper Jones's throw skips away from 1B Troy Glaus just enough to allow Reyes to dash home.
