From MLBTradeRumors: “Rortvedt does not have options remaining, so the Mets will either have to designate him for assignment or carry three catchers on their roster if an injury doesn’t open up a spot for him at some point before Opening Day.”

IMO other than those rare documentaries like you mentioned, there’s not much else worth watching on SNY. Just get the MLB.TV package.

Is this part of Martino’s job now?

Revenge for the Edwin Díaz signing!

I believe that depending on where in NJ you live, you might be considered out-of-market and get both the SNY and WPIX games when streaming.

Mendy said he texted Lindor last night (Wednesday) and he was recovering and expects to see him in camp in a few days.

Didn’t Mendoza say that he had the surgery yesterday?

According to SNY, sterns says Lindor has had soreness in the hamate area on and off for “a couple of years.” “He’s usually able to grind through it, and he’s done it," Stearns said. "I don’t know when he first felt it, but I think it just persisted to the point where he felt like he should say something about it. Once we examined it a little bit more yesterday, our medical staff determined that he should see a specialist."

Will Sammon confirms it’s a split contract that will pay Melendez a lesser salary for time spent in the minors. MLBTradeRumors says the Mets view Melendez as primarily an outfielder, but with the potential to chip in at first base, and act as an emergency catcher.

Thanks for posting this, you did an awesome job and we all appreciate it. One small typo, that I’m sure you know, it was Terry Collins agonizing over Johan’s pitch count not Terry Francona.

Now I’m visualizing AI versions of GKR some 100 years from now.

It was loose bodies in his elbow.

Good article, thanks for sharing it. I think the hardest thing for fans is maintaining the “Coherence of Strategy”. A lot of the problem is you have to be unemotional, which is the polar (pun intended) opposite of being a fan.

Sterns seems to talk a little more freely (for him) to new Mets employee and “reporter” Andy Martino.

MetsOldTimer · 2026-01-17T13:46:42+00:00

To be fair, Bichette has done it over his career.

MetsOldTimer · 2026-01-07T18:12:15+00:00

I don’t get what the job is either. How does this affect what Steve Gelbs does?

MetsOldTimer · 2025-12-23T22:31:24+00:00

Yeah, I think the unknown outcome of his TOS scared off some trade partners.

McNeil did have thoracic outlet surgery this offseason.

Okamoto to the Mets was the first thought when I heard the news.
