The Mets DFA'd Fishy in late August to make room for Connor Grey. Fisher and Rob Zastryzny ended up going through waivers at the same exact time, giving the other teams their choice of lefty Met relievers from the margins. Nate cleared waivers and was returned to Syracuse as Rob was claimed by Anaheim. Alas, he is now with the Angels.

That would be helpful. My past experience has been with Access. I designed some sophisticated queries, but I realize now that building the infrastructure was largely shrouded in mystery to me. Back to business! Post a random paragraph from a random baseball book on the shelf, randomly opened!

I like the team getting an option at the back end in exchange for the opt-out clause. If the player is in a decent position to exercise the opt-out, the team can offer to guarantee the option year. It's a starting point for negotiations, if nothing else.

MySQL administered through phpMyAdmin. My skills were all self-taught through trial and error 15 or more years ago, so I clearly knew less than I thought and going back to the beginning is drag. If you have a favorite freebie interface, I'm all ears. I'm thinking of experimenting with Python. That's what all the cool kids use, but that name just feels so porny.

I'm kind of surprised when I look at this, but Bassitt has a stronger track record than Carrasco. It's partially distorted by Carrasco's lost season in 2021, but it's not that close. He's almost of never had a bad season — not in the Arizona Fall League, not in college. I still hold that I'm-not-gonna-report-when-I-test-positive thing against him.

I'm currently (slowly) trying to catch up in my database skillz, and databasing these books would be a good project.

Add your own! "He captured his first pennant with Oakland, just before going to the Yankees, when the team won 111 games in the Pacific Coast League. It was then that his old friend George Weiss beckoned. Just for starters, Casey led the Yankees to five consecutive pennants and five consecutive World Series. This is perfect for the course." 　　— The Mets Will Win the Pennant 　　William R Cox 　　G.P.

So, when is this opt-out?

I'm giving The Post the win in the head-to-head-to-head matchup of Alonso krash kovers. The shot of the wreck may be overly lurid but it shows journalistic hustle.

Our guess is that Bassitt is looking for more security and will get multiple years (three? three and an option?) but at a lower annual salary.

I'm not sure how relievers are a worse bet to repeat success than starters. He, of course, doesn't need to repeat his 2022 every season to be a leading asset for a winning team.

"I don't know if Reggie had a good time or not. I know I didn't. You wanted to be able to have a good time with Jack, but the problem was that you just could not hide him anywhere. If he wasn't harassing patrons he was harassing me, stealing food from my plate and everyone else's. That night I didn't care if I ever dined with Reggie again." 　　— Nothing but the Truth: A Baseball Life 　　Don Baylor with Claire Smith 　　St. Martin's Press (New York), 1989 　　Page 194 of the paperback edition. 　　https://pictures.abebooks.com/isbn/9780312921064-us.jpg>

This pushes Dusty Baker Hall-of-Fameward.

Well, he's fifth now. I feel pretty comfortable that he's gonna get knocked back by a couple of guys. There's probably also a temptation to non-tender him rather than holding the roster spot.

Who knows who is healthy or who will be healthy in the spring? But Lucchesi threw 12 innings down the stretch in 2022, moving among three levels, posting a 2.13 ERA, striking out 12 and walking three.

Not a Lucchesi fan?

That one certainly passes the "Do I want to see it again?" test.

I had Phillie pholks posting photos during the game. "We're HERE and it's WILD and it's all HAPPENING!!" But not a whole lot OF "OW MY NUTS!" posts later.

"Let's Talk About Justin Turner" was not one of Salt 'n' Pepa's most fondly recalled singles.

Because I'm suspecting this came from the first batch printed after the ink cartridge had just been replaced, or some modification has either recently been made too aggresively or not made at all. Beyond the sloppy makeup, look at the vividness of his hat and shirt! The Post photo is from nearly the same moment and the blue isn't nearly as damaging to the retina. http://leaptoad.com/mets/covers/2021/20211222_NYP_02.jpg>

What a brutal nut punch to endure at home.

That would be something.

Those last two are pretty terrible, almost for opposite reasons.
