| 1995 | Free agent Lance Johnson agrees to a two-year pact with the Mets reportedly worth more than five million dollars. Ol' One-Dog, who led the American League in hits last season with 186 playing with the White Sox, will repeat the feat in his first season in the Senior Circuit with 227 hits. |
| 2001 | The A's, needing to fill the void of a left-handed power hitter created by Jason Giambi's departure to the Yankees, trade southpaw reliever Mark Guthrie and minor league right-hander Tyler Yates to the Mets for David Justice. A week ago, the Mets acquired the designated hitter-outfielder in a deal that sent third baseman Robin Ventura to the Yankees. |
| 2007 | The Rangers invite Edgardo Alfonzo, a career .284 hitter, to spring training. The 34-year-old former All-Star infielder, formerly with the Mets, Giants, Angels, and Blue Jays, spent last season in the independent Atlantic League playing with the Long Island Ducks. |
| 2013 | After inking Curtis Granderson to a four-year, $60 million contract earlier in the week, the Mets sign Bartolo Colon to a two-year, $20 million free-agent pact. The 40-year-old All-Star right-handed starter, slated to replace the innings the team will need as Matt Harvey recovers from Tommy John surgery, compiled an 18-6 record and a 2.65 ERA in 30 starts for the A's last season. |
