Several immediately upcoming events to know about with a Mets 50th anniversary flavor. Get out a shovel and dig a path to any and all of them. • Sunday between 9 AM and 5 PM, MAB Celebrity Services is hosting 50 Years of Amazin’ Baseball at Citi Field’s Caesar’s Club. There’ll be Q&A, there’ll be autograph opportunities (or opportunitie$) and there’ll be a slew of Mets from Choo Choo Coleman to…what, Choo Choo Coleman’s not enough for ya? You almost NEVER see Choo Choo Coleman (let alone hear from him) at stuff like this, so here’s your chance to pay Original Met homage, bub. Guys named Seaver, Mays, Gooden, Strawberry and Hernandez will be among the myriad “other” attendees. Admission is $12 for adults, kids under 14 get in free.

Via Mets Merized Online  |  January 21, 2012
With the hot stove season nearing its end, I’ll be chipping in a lot less on Mets news, and focus more on the upcoming First Year Player Draft in June, as I did last year. I’m currently working on my own “Top 15 Draft Prospects” list and a “Five Players To Watch” piece for the Mets top selections in 2012. Both will be ready in early February. I...

Buster Olney Discusses David Wright’s Future With the New York Mets

Via Rant Sports  |  January 21, 2012
David Wright and my desire for the New York Mets to trade him is a topic that I have discussed on several occasions since July.  I don’t think the New York Mets will be ready to contend before David Wright is an unquestioned free agent (the New York Mets hold a $16 million option for 2013) so it seems pointless – from a performance standpoint – to keep him around...

Could the Rockies trade for Justin Turner?

Via Matthew Cerrone's Mets Blog  |  January 20, 2012

Just when you thought the local papers and some bloggers were in agreement that the Mets will have a terrible season, Vegas has come up with the latest odds to win the 2012 World Series.

Rockies Still Looking At Turner

Via Mets Merized Online  |  January 20, 2012
The Colorado Rockies are still eyeing Mets infielder Justin Turner, says Troy Renck of the Denver Post. The Rockies have been discussing a deal for RedSox shortstop Marco Scutaro, but talks seemed to have stalled, and see Turner as a more attainable option than him. Last month, the Mets and Rockies were said to have been discussing a deal for Jon Niese involving 2B/OF Eric Young...

Baseball. A Homecoming Honor

R.A. Dickey's baseball journey has led him all around the country from his time at Tennessee 16 years ago to his current spot in the starting pitching New York Mets' starting rotation of the New York Mets.
