Cookie's headed back to Cleveland. Notched his 100th career win as a 2022 Met, his one good season here.

Hector Neris is a North Sider.

Co-starring roles in the latest Eladio Carrión video, “RKO,” for Citi Field, Marysol Castro (bumped up to PBP from PA) and Francisco Alvarez. Mets look good in black here, and the immense scoreboard really fills the screen. [media=youtube]eL2foCWyqns[/media]

Ex-Dodger, Cub, Brave and Giant Joc Pederson continues his tour of the senior circuit by signing with the NL champ D'Backs.

No new memories of D-Rob forthcoming, as he signs with the world champion Texas Rangers.

John Curtiss dragss his superfluouss 's' to the Rockiess. I looked forward to his pitching after his year of rehab. The anticipation was the highlight. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/01/rockies-sign-john-curtiss-reliever.htmlhttps://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/01/rockies-sign-john-curtiss-reliever.html

Rhys Hoskins signs for two years with the Brewers.

David Wright being so very David Wright.

McHugh was running second to Justin Turner in the ongoing Longest Ago Met Still Active (LAMSA) derby, having made his Met and MLB debut on August 23, 2012. Unless Jeurys Familia gets another shot, we can bestow the 2012 Last Met Standing crown to Turner, who already owns the 2010 and 2011 versions. Collin kept a blog in his minor league and rookie days. His wife's Twitter was/is a trip. Baseball is better off with people like them.

Diego Castillo DFA'd to clear space for Sean Manaea.

Tomás Nido, No. 3 since 2017, may be off the 40-man roster, but he's still in the organization.

I watched Buddy offer his WS ring for trying on while he signed copies of his book at Hofstra. Three different women came up to me during the course of the conference and squealed with delight at slipping the bling onto their respective fingers as if he had done it just for them. The man knew his public.

Mets grab a new Max for the roster, pitcher Max Kranick from the Pirates, off waivers. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/k/kranima01.shtmlhttps://www.baseball-reference.com/players/k/kranima01.shtml

Provided the spark that was needed in 1990 when Davey's voice was no longer getting through. It didn't last. In his his autobiography, he said he nevwr wanted the job and wished he could have stayed a coach indefinitely.

A friend of mine refers to Mets ho sign with archrivals as dirty traitors. Can't go against that tonight, but will otherwise remember a state of the art utility guy when he was at his handiest. Now that he's a Brave…yeech.
