Darryl Strawberry and fellow early 1980s Met Bruce Bochy compose half of the Appalachian League Hall of Fame class of 2023. Darryl Strawberry Strawberry began his professional career playing for the Kingsport Mets in the Appalachian League in 1980 after the Mets selected him with the No. 1 overall pick in that year's MLB Draft. In his 44 games with Kingsport that year, Strawberry batted .268 with five home runs and 20 RBIs. The 1983 NL Rookie of the Year won three World Series championships with the New York Mets (1986) and Yankees (1996, 1999), earning eight All-Star selections and two Silver Slugger Awards. Strawberry finished his 16-year career with 335 home runs, 1,000 RBIs and 221 stolen bases. “When you think about baseball, you have to start somewhere, and I think a lot of memories that you have about where you played like Kingsport – that was the beginning of do you know or don't you know what you're going to be. My manager, Chuck Hiller, said just come here and play baseball, and this is just the beginning where you start to learn how to be a professional athlete.” ~ Darryl Strawberry Bruce Bochy Bochy played with the Covington Astros of the Appalachian League in 1975, hitting .338 with four home runs and 34 RBIs. Bochy then went on to play nine Major League seasons with the Houston Astros (1978-80), New York Mets (1982) and San Diego Padres (1984-87). He won the 1996 National League Manager of the Year Award after leading the San Diego Padres to a division-best 91-71 record. Bochy later managed the San Francisco Giants, guiding them to three World Series titles in 2010, 2012 and 2014. He currently manages the Texas Rangers and is the only manager in Major League history to win 900 games for two teams. "I am honored to be selected for the Appalachian League Hall of Fame's Class of 2023. I have many great memories from that season in Covington, where I enjoyed getting my first taste of professional baseball. I will always be grateful for my time in the league and the mentorship of manager Billy Smith. It is truly a privilege to join such a distinguished group of inductees." ~ Bruce Bochy https://www.appyleague.com/news/appalachian-league-elects-four-to-hall-of-fame-2023https://www.appyleague.com/news/appalachian-league-elects-four-to-hall-of-fame-2023

Halfway to that streaking in DC Ashie promised. Tops are already off up and down the Acela Corridor.

Kendall Graveman, who buried the Mets last week, is headed from the White Sox to the Astros for catcher Korey Lee.

Reed Garrett called up to take Robertson's place. Will wear 75.

Endorsement from Fangraphs. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2023-marlins-fans-and-2027-mets-fans-rejoice-your-teams-made-a-great-trade/https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2023-marlins-fans-and-2027-mets-fans-rejoice-your-teams-made-a-great-trade/

Didn't make me nervous. Highest of praise for a closer.

Two minor league position players are the return.

Mets trade their closer to Miami, per Athletic.

Streaking's gonna be a tough go in this downpour.

So if I'm reading this right, Mets win four in a row, we book an Acela to DC, clothes go unpacked — and nobody alerts the National Park Police as to Ashie's celebratory plans.

Wanna beer that's smooth? Go see the newest Brewer, Carlos Santana, traded to Milwaukee for a minor league infielder by Pittsburgh.

Guardians reportedly getting Old Friend Noah Syndergaaed from Dodgers for Old Friend Amed Rosario.

Old Friend Amed on the move!

Amed Rosario, once a Guardian, no longer a Guardian in 2023.

A lineup to contemplate ahead of tonIGhT.

Home Run Derby can start now.
