The sell-off of players you formerly knew as 'The Starting Lineup of the 2017 New York Mets' continued this weekend as Curtis Granderson and Rene Rivera joined the Yankees and Cubs, respectively.
The New York Mets made a move Thursday that could be the first of several moves to unload talent whose contracts are up at the end of the year, in exchange for younger players and prospects.
Five walks in the seventh-inning set up the Mets for an Opening Day win at Citi Field as Lucas Duda and the offense eventually cashed in on the free bases and grabbed a 6-0 win on Monday afternoon.
For the third consecutive night, the New York Mets used a late inning rally to earn a win, doing so for the second night against the cross town rival Yankees.
Johan Santana pitched six shutout innings and Lucas Duda tagged a two-run homer as the Mets blanked the Orioles again, winning 5-0 in each of the first two games of the series.
Kirk Nieuwenhuis led off the game with a home run and added a go-ahead two run shot in the fourth inning as the Mets held on for a 9-6 win Wednesday afternoon at Tropicana Field, completing a three game sweep of the Rays.
