SLACKISH REACTION: We’re at the point where enough media is writing the “maybe Alonso could make the team” stuff to create doubt, but I am sticking to my guns (how is the Syndergaard trade? I read they might trade him to the Yankees) and say that it won’t happen.
Spring Training is way too long. There’s nothing going on, no drama, and nothing to write about.
Kirk Nieuwenhis signed with the Long Island Ducks. I am surprised The Virus isn’t a Duck yet.
NOT LINKING: There’s a video the Mets are pushing where Gooden opens up about his drug addiction. I feel like we’ve heard this 9000 times, then next week the Mets and Gooden will have fight over something, and I’m just bored with the entire subject.
