SEE IT: Members of 2024 Mets accept award with special guest at BBWAA dinner
Things kicked off during the day when they hosted the first annual Amazin Day, as fans took in numerous different autograph sessions and discussion panels throughout a fun-filled afternoon at Citi Field.
They then headed to Madison Square Garden for their first team-bonding event of the year, taking in the Knicks and Kings matchup, which ended with a commanding victory for the home team.
Then some of them surprised Sean Manaea as they made their way to the BWAA dinner, where the left-hander was representing the 2024 squad, which was receiving the Toast of the Town award.
Carlos Mendoza, Brandon Nimmo, Reed Garrett, and Jesse Winker were among the group who made their way over from the Garden.
And, of course, when they made their way up on stage, they were joined by another familiar face… Grimace!

MLB bettors give up on struggling Yankees, Mets
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. New York baseball has fallen off precipitously after a torrid first half of the season. The Mets once had baseball's best record at 45–24, with odds to win the World Series getting as low as +800. Carlos Mendoza's group was among the favorites to win it all. That number has drifted to +1500 at DraftKings at the time of writing, making the Mets the 10th-favorite and putting them behind the Mariners, Blue Jays and Padres. The same can be said for the Yankees, who were +600 to win the World Series on June 30, fell to 11/1, and have rebounded a bit to +950 — tied for fifth-best — at DraftKings. The point remains clear: Baseball in the Big Apple is in big trouble as the calendar nears September and critical series are on the horizon for both teams. The Yankees play a four-game set with the Red Sox this weekend, while the Mets take on the Phillies next week. 'The Mets have certainly fallen off our power ratings,' DraftKings' Vegas-based director of sports betting Johnny Avello told The Post in a phone interview. 'We just raised them again to 15/1. There's no betting interest in them right now. Will they even make the playoffs?' Juan Soto joined the Mets after coming over from the Yankees this offseason. Bonnie Cash/UPI/Shutterstock Avello added that the vibes are undoubtedly low on the Mets throughout the betting market, showcased by the fact that sharp and recreational bettors appear to be avoiding them at all costs. 'They're in a freefall,' Avello said. ' And they're really playing poorly on the road … The sharp bettors are not interested in them anymore.' The 67-58 Mets are 25-34 on the road this season, and, from a futures perspective, it's looking grim as ever that the Mets can right the ship and make a run at a championship. Francisco Lindor and the Mets have critical upcoming series with the Phillies. Getty Images Things are not quite as bleak for the Yankees, although that's not necessarily because they are a better team. 'Not as grim for the Yanknees. Similar spot, but the teams that are behind them and in front of them make the difference,' Avello said. 'Not a whole lot of strength there. The Yankees have a favorable division. Their path is easier than the Mets. It shows in the odds.' The Yankees, 68-57, have the 26th-most challenging schedule left in the big leagues, which is certainly a boon for their future outlook as they battle for a playoff spot or even the AL East. Learn all you need to know about MLB Betting The Blue Jays also have a much tougher road going forward with the seventh-most challenging schedule in the sport. The Bombers entered Wednesday five games back of Toronto for first place in the American League East.

Mets All-Star's Latest Gem Shows Why New York Must Offer Extension
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Every pitching staff needs a workhorse, and that's what David Peterson has become for the New York Mets. Coming off his first good season as a starter last year, it was hard to know what to expect from Peterson in this volatile Mets rotation. But he's checked every box along the way, making his first All-Star team at age 29 and pitching to a 3.30 ERA through 136 1/3 innings. Peterson's eight-inning, one-run start against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday was one of his most clinical outings yet. And it came on the first day of a stretch of 16 games for the Mets in 16 days, so he did it when his team needed it the most. WASHINGTON, DC - AUGUST 19: David Peterson #23 of the New York Mets looks on as he walks to the dugout after pitching eight innings against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park on August 19,... WASHINGTON, DC - AUGUST 19: David Peterson #23 of the New York Mets looks on as he walks to the dugout after pitching eight innings against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park on August 19, 2025 in Washington, DC. (Photo by)That's what the Mets are coming to expect from Peterson. And soon, they need to figure out what it's going to take to keep him doing it a while longer. Peterson is set to hit free agency after next season, and if they lost him, the Mets might be all the way back to square one in filling out their rotation. Manager Carlos Mendoza didn't have a high volume words to say about Peterson after his latest gem, but the words he did say underscored exactly why the Mets need to lock down Peterson. "He was really good," Mendoza said, per Tim Britton of The Athletic. "In complete control." The Mets have a lot of other question marks in their current rotation. With Kodai Senga, it's health. With Clay Holmes, it's fatigue. With Nolan McLean, it's youth. None of those things apply to Peterson, who is a perfect prospective cornerstone for a rotation with many more top prospects on the way. According to Britton, Peterson has gone six innings or more in 16 of his 24 starts, while the rest of the Mets staff has done so 18 times in 101 tries. Plus, Peterson has six of the Mets' eight starts of seven or more innings. While it can be hard to get a deal done only a year before free agency, the fact that Peterson has never hit 150 innings in a season before should work to the Mets' advantage. It's not as if New York should break the bank for Peterson, but rather than waiting for its next reclamation project in free agency, it should recognize what it already has and try its best to lock him up.
