Dellin Betances, the newest member of the New York Mets, had an interesting interview. He detailed his desire to win and how manager Carlos Beltran was a crucial figure in his decision to join the Queens ballclub.
As part of their offseason agenda, MLB.com ran a story about a prediction for each team in 2020. The Mets, according to the piece, will enjoy a healthy and productive Robinson Cano.
Here are the New York Mets’s news and rumors of the day:
Metsmerized.com: Dellin Betances is now a member of the New York Mets. It sounded far-fetched before his injury-riddled 2019, but it is now a reality. According to the reliever himself, as he told writer and PA Announcer for the team Marysol Castro, “it just kinda worked out.â€
Apparently new manager Carlos Beltran had a lot to do with his signing. “Beltran becoming the manager, him throwing my name to management, just over and over†he said.
“I know what the team we have is capable of, and I enjoy winning. And I’m going to be the best version of myself to help the team†he stated.
MLB.com: Major League Baseball’s official website ran a predictions story in the last few hours. It covered all 30 teams in the league.
As for the Mets, second baseman Robinson Cano was the subject of the writeup. “For totally understandable reasons, Robinson Canó has been lambasted and forgotten the last couple of years. But this is a Hall of Fame-caliber player who would still seem to have plenty left in his bat. It went unnoticed, but he hit a more-than-respectable .271/.325/.477 after coming off the injured list with left quad tightness on June 16,†the text read.
Michael Baron: We miss baseball, and we are sure you do, too. But Michael Baron is here to remind us that Spring Training isn’t that far away.
“35 days until Mets pitchers and catchers report to Port St. Lucie…†he tweeted from his official account. There you go, fans of the New York Mets!
