SLACKISH REACTION: The Mets formally announced the coaching staff but Mets Media Relations Intern #5 didn’t send me the release so I can’t share this info with you. I get most but not all the Mets releases – as an example I did get the Metsgiving info which I will share later – but not the coaching one. It seems to me to be a situation where it depends on who is working and that there might be two mailing lists one of which I’m not on. Whatevers. Anyway Intern #5 I am shannon at metspolice dot com. Add me. Or Ask Ethan or Will to forward it.
Fortunately there is much to discuss today! I’m even going to link!
The newspaper tells us the Mets are open to trading their starting pitchers! Of course that’s a sexy headline and when you click through it means Lugo, Gselleman and Monter – but hey your clickbait worked so You Get A Link!
The same newspaper tells us The Mets Could Sign Ike Davis as a relief pitcher! Not linking.
The same newspaper also tells us Conforto’s shoulder is doing OK and he might be ready for Spring Training. Since there is nuance to that, they get a link.
David Wright says he plans to come back! Or hopes to anyway. Another newspaper gets a link!
And...will the Syracuse Chiefs deal actually go through? You get a link!
