A very special announcement, and a sincere thank you.

Francisco Alvarez came out of today’s game with a tight back. It was precautionary, Carlos Mendoza said.

Francisco Alvarez was removed from tonight's game in the top of the fourth inning. Jose Aular entered in his spot as a pinch hitter. On the Mets' lineup card this morning, Alvarez was scheduled to play all nine innings tonight. Alvarez struck out swinging in his first AB. He was behind the plate catching Kodai Senga for the first three innings on defense.

We have made the following roster moves.

As a younger Mets fan, I’ll always think of this call when I think of Howie Rose and the 2024 Mets.

@Mets @HowieRose Won't be the same without you Howie.

A message from @HowieRose:

Howie Rose began his career with the Mets booth in 1987. The Mets have never won the World Series during his tenure. Winning it this season for Howie would be the perfect way to end his career.

A statement from Steve and Alex Cohen on Howie Rose announcing his retirement.

Mets radio will never sound the same without Howie Rose. As someone who dreams of one day being a sports broadcaster, Howie has been a true inspiration and is someone that has had a strong influence on how I sound on the mic. Looking forward to celebrating Howie this season!

ONE. MORE. WEEK.

Next up: Opening Day.

FINAL: Venezuela 3, United States 2 Venezuela wins the World Baseball Classic in a game that lived up to the tournament’s name. Superlative pitching, excellent defense, clutch swings -- the biggest of them Eugenio Suárez’s go-ahead double in the ninth inning. An incredible show.

As a Mets fan, I’m not a fan of Bryce Harper. As an American, I’m a fan of Bryce Harper.

BRYCE HARPER FLIPS THE SCRIPT OH WOW 😳

But they want to blame it on Nolan McLean…

Nolan McLean today: 4.2 IP 4 H 2 R 1 BB 4 K Kept it close and pitched well for the most part. Time for the lineup to start hitting.

Bo Bichette today: 2/3 (both XBH) 1 HR 1 BB 5 RBI Monster day at the plate 🔥

Sean Manaea today: 4.0 IP 0 R 0 BB 4 K His best outing of the spring by far.

BO BICHETTE LAUNCHES HIS FIRST HOMER AS A MET! He’s now 2/3 with 2 XBH and 5 RBI today 😳

Very cool: Mets fans will be able to listen to games essentially live with @MetsBooth at Citi Field this season, which seems pretty…Raad to me @HowieRose @KeithRaad
