JUNE 29 The Mets signed 5 players to the 60 man roster. Among them are outfielder Melky Cabrera, pitcher Hunter Strickland, and infielder Gordon Beckham.

JUNE 25 Some of the season details have come out, they are; the Mets will play 60 games, 10 games against 4 divisional rivals and 4 games against 5 American League East opponents. There will be an universal DH, this means no pitchers batting, and less strategy. Also when a game goes into extra innings, each half inning automatically starts with a runner at 2^nd base for each team.

The Mets signed their 1^st round draft pick, Pete Crow-Armstrong to a slot value contract worth $3.359 million dollars.

JUNE 23 Baseball is coming back! Major League Baseball and the players union have agreed to play the 2020 season with 60 games starting on July 24. The players will begin Spring Training 2.0 on July 1. The season was delayed and shortened due to the Coronavirus Pandemic that paralyzed the world. Hopefully the season will go uninterrupted.

JUNE 11 The Mets selected outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong as their #1 draft pick (19 overall). Crow-Armstrong is considered a top of the order hitter and a magician outfielder.

JUNE 10 Major League Baseball and Major League Baseball Players Association are negotiating to come up with some sort of a season in 2020.
