Happy MLB Deferment Day! This thread is dedicated to past, present and future deferred contracts given to Major League Baseball players. It started before Bobby Bonilla and goes well beyond him.

@DonnieS50 yeah, it really doesn't matter lol. We are talking about a couple of games a year.

@mikemayer22 I said that two months ago and everybody ripped me saying Bichette is a terrible SS. He's fine for a game here and there and you don't have to carry an all glove no bat type like Guillorme, Zach Short, and Acuna.

Jared Young and Dicky Lovelady take the final two spots. Bryan Hudson, Ben Rortvedt and Vidal Brujan all designated for assignment.

Former Met Anthony Nunez (Cedric Mullins trade) makes the OD roster. What an incredible story as a player who had two separate stints in college baseball. He was a great find by Mets scouting.

Jared Young is a nice piece to have on the bench. He has big league power, can play four spots and has above average speed.

Every year since the Mets got Francisco Lindor, there's been far too much made of needing to carry a bench player that can handle shortstop. It was never needed and even less so now with Bo Bichette.

The Mets’ Opening Day roster is set! 🔗: metsmerizedonline.com/2026-mets-open…

Breaking: The NBA's Board of Governors has approved a vote for the league to explore bids and applicants for expansion teams exclusively in Las Vegas and Seattle, sources tell ESPN. A bidding process is expected to generate offers in the $7-10 billion range for each team.

Very cool to see a fellow Mainer on an MLB Opening Day roster. First Mainer to be on an OD roster since Ryan Flaherty.

“Carson Benge making the team is the coolest full story moment of the spring.” @BPok24 spent the spring in Port St. Lucie covering the Mets and joins the show to break it all down. 📺: youtu.be/yCSve5pRz7o?si… 🎧: tr.ee/Ccq1hKP3jY Presented by @ChiddysSteaks

Mets No. 47 prospect for the 2026 season: Ben Simon, RHP Simon saw a late season velo spike that has carried into spring training (hit 98 mph). Had 1.06 ERA and 20 Ks in 17 AA innings last year. metsmerizedonline.com/top-50-mets-pr…

Steve and Alex Cohen on Davey Johnson: “Davey was a bold manager who led with a quiet confidence and an unwavering belief in his team. He cared deeply for his players both on and off the field. Some of the greatest players in our team history credit him for their successes. In the 40th anniversary of the 1986 championship, this is a fitting tribute to the man who guided the team to that title.”
