MLBPA executive director Tony Clark is expected to resign:
Benjamin Grimm replied to metirish's topic in New York Mets Talk
I have to wonder... was it his wife's sister or his brother's wife? It's hard to say which would be worse. -
Does it come with the rulers?

Maybe they'll dust off Donald Fehr, similar to how the Mets took Frank Cashen out of mothballs for a little while in 1999. -
I have no memory of him at all. Sixteen games with the Mets in 2025, between May and August.
-
A 35 year old outfielder. 190 big league games in right field.
-
How about Sandy Alomar Jr.? Doc Medich?
-
On the "front end", I think the biggest one is Amos Otis. I remember thinking that if the Mets were to win another World Series, they might have to do it with Marty Barrett as manager, to keep the pattern going. Should I let David Stearns know?
-
I used to know all that stuff too, when I was 13 and reading The Sporting News every week. Now I know very few of the opposing players, and when the Mets move from one series to the next I pretty much forget the players from the previous series.

I think it would be a nice way to honor Lindor (or some other future Met) but it really is a lot like a FIFA Peace Prize when you think about it. And if the policy is "no captains" then nobody can feel disrespected for not being named captain.
-
Larry Bowa.
-
Lindor has often been a slow starter anyway, so if he starts slowly this year it will be hard to pin it definitively on the surgery.
-
Who is the Closer? I'll go with the easy answer and say Williams. If he doesn't get it done, I'm not sure where they'll turn. Who is the Odd Man out of the Rotation? I think, if all six are healthy, they'll go with a six-man rotation at least through April. After that, things will sort themselves out, as they inevitably do. Does Benge make the roster? No. Not yet, anyway. Who is in Right Field? I'm thinking Baty if he demonstrates during spring training that he can handle the position, otherwise Taylor. Who Bats Leadoff While Lindor Is Away? I hope this is a moot question, but I'll go with Semien or Robert, depending on who has the better spring.
-
I agree. The outfield is questionable. It could turn out to be pretty good, if Robert rebounds and Baty or Benge settles into right field. But it's also possible that neither of those things happen, and the outfield will provide two weak lineup spots.
-
I would guess that Benge will be held back, at least for a while, unless he really tears it up this spring. I don't expect that Stearns will be as generous as Brodie was (with Alonso) in skipping the chance to delay Benge's free agency.

SNY is reporting that the Mets have announced that Juan Soto will be the Mets' left fielder in 2026 Mets star Juan Soto moving to left field

RIP Terrance Gore: 1991 – 2026, Met in 2022

Was a Schaefer Mets Bench Player of the Month. Died suddenly at 34. "Died suddenly" without further explanation often means suicide or drug overdose. I hope it wasn't either of those causes. -
Right? I don't think I can pin down the year, much less the date. For me, I knew it was 1971 because that was my first year as a Mets fan. And I recall the scoreboard wishing Cleon Jones a happy birthday. So it was easy enough to pinpoint the date. I also remembered Gary Gentry was the starter and that the Mets lost 1-0. That lined up with Cleon's 1971 birthday, which confirmed it.
-
I don't know what the Tigers were thinking. Skubal is certainly better than Sean Manaea, who's making $25 million. And I'm certain there are many many examples of pitchers who are making more than $19 million who aren't nearly as good as Skubal.
-
She definitely stood by her man.
-
This is a question that came up in my Facebook feed from some unknown source. I don't answer these things because they just lead to spam, but I'm okay with repurposing the question. How many Hall-of-Famers played in the first game you saw in person, and who were they? For me it was Johnny Bench and Tony Perez. August 4, 1971, Reds vs. Mets at Shea. Pete Rose also played in that game. Tom Seaver and Nolan Ryan were 1971 Mets, but neither appeared in the game that day. (Gary Gentry started for the Mets.) Joe Morgan didn't get into that game either, primarily because he was still a Houston Astro.
-
I think deGrom is a possibility too, although an unlikely one at this point.
-
My main gripe about the current team is how Gary keeps telling us about stupid statistical quirks. Something like, this is the first time since 1929 that an outfielder born under the sign of Sagittarius had three doubles on a Tuesday while also stealing a base and throwing a runner out at second base.
-
I think of Vlad Sr. as an Expo. I don't think I would have thought of him as an Angel if I was playing Immaculate Grid.
-
I would have asked why they continue to keep a manual scorecard. All the information they need is readily available elsewhere.
