Jay Payton turns 53 today. The Mets drafted outfielder Jason Lee Payton in the 1st round of the 1994 MLB draft and debuted in 1998. During the 2000 World Series he hit a three run opposite field homer off Mariano Rivera, the last homer Rivera gave up in the postseason. Payton played five years for the Mets before being traded to Colorado in 2002 during his best career season. He later played for the Padres, Red Sox, Athletics and Orioles before finishing his playing career in 2010 with the Rockies. Payton had an RBI double against Jonathan Niese in the 2025 old timers game at Citi Field.

  3. Was thinking on a what a Senga trade might look like. Wonder what we’re even looking to get on a return? Prospects? Pen arms? Really not sure what he’ll even net us in a return

  4. I wonder how much of the position player acquisitions we make are going to be dictated by improving our offense against LHP.
