New York Daily News' Mets News
- How Mets’ Nolan McLean stayed ready over offseason: ‘I’m trying to work on it as much as I can "The Mets‘ rising rookie right-hander picked up right where he left off last season in his Grapefruit League debut against the Houston Astros on Thursday, tossing four scoreless innings in a 5-0 win. The Astros barely touched McLean’s stuff, managing only one hit and one walk, striking out six times. The plan was to have him throw 55 pitches, and he was right on the money, throwing 56."

- Marcus Semien belts first spring home run in what Mets hope is a positive start
- Mets’ Nolan McLean is ready to show Team USA he’s ‘built for this’ "Just like he was against Soto in Port St. Lucie, McLean was in midseason form Thursday. Consistently hitting 97 mph, McLean mowed through a representative lineup from Houston. Among his six strikeouts were two against Carlos Correa."
- Why Daniel Murphy thinks the Dodgers aren’t evil, a lost season isn’t a certainty and the new-look Mets are ‘different’
- Mets’ Mark Vientos performs well at first base — but still remains hitless "Mark Vientos is 0-for-10 on the spring after going hitless again Thursday, but he made a pair of solid plays at first base. He’s expected to be at third base when he leaves to play for Team Nicaragua in the WBC."
- Jorge Polanco ‘just going for it’ in Mets first base experiment "Jorge Polanco has some time to work on the finer points of playing first base — but not too much time, with Opening Day less than a month away. The veteran infielder took another step in that direction Thursday, playing in a simulated game at Clover Park in Port St. Lucie as he looks to get more comfortable as part of the Mets’ shortstop-filled infield."
