SEE IT: Mets show off new purple sleeves with City Connect uniform
Saturday was the first City Connect day for the Mets and this season, they unveiled a new combination to go with their gray jerseys: purple sleeves.
Watching the Mets take on the Toronto Blue Jays on a chilly night at Citi Field, you'll notice the vibrant purple sleeves underneath the jersey and running up the arms of the players.

The Mets debuted the City Connects on the field on April 27, 2024. That deep into spring, there weren't many days that the Mets needed to use undersleeves, but when they had they were black/dark grey. So this is a nice change that accentuates the purple accents on the jersey and hat. You can learn all about the design, here.

Knicks handed harsh lessons in early days of coaching search
The Mets took their time, too. Buck Showalter was fired on Oct. 1, 2023. It was believed they had one solid target in mind as his replacement in Brewers manager Craig Counsell, but Counsell wouldn't be available for exactly another month. The wait seemed like only a wink-wink formality. He and David Stearns had worked together for years in Milwaukee. So on the 35th day — when Counsell decided to stay close to his Midwestern roots and sign a $40 million deal with the Cubs that obliterated what Stearns and Steve Cohen were expecting to pay for a manager — the Mets pivoted. And were ready. They were already comfortable enough to make Carlos Mendoza and his lifetime 0-0 record as a manager a viable Plan B. Advertisement On the 36th day, Mendoza became the manager. It's difficult to find anyone who will tell you today that was anything but an inspired choice. There is a lesson in that as we watch the Knicks take their time identifying and hiring Tom Thibodeau's successor as head coach. Thursday will only be their 10th day without a coach, and it is starting to look like the Mets' 35-day vigil is a likely model for how this might all shake out.

MLB pitchers say Juan Soto is last batter they'd want to face in Game 7 of the World Series
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free You won't find many MLB pitchers clamoring to face Juan Soto in a high-leverage spot. In The Athletic's anonymous player poll, Soto was voted as the hitter pitchers would least want to face in Game 7 of the World Series. The Mets star earned 15.6 percent of the vote among 64 pitchers, edging out Shohei Ohtani (14.1 percent) and Aaron Judge (9.4 percent). What specific qualities make Soto such a tough out? 3 Mets outfielder Juan Soto hits an RBI double in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Nationals. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect 'He's very disciplined. Just seems like he doesn't hit anything soft. Anything in the zone, he puts the barrel on it,' one pitcher told The Athletic. 'His discipline is almost intimidating, for lack of a better word. Especially in a leverage situation, it's like you have to make a perfect pitch.' Discipline was a theme among the pitchers quoted in the story, which makes sense, considering Soto has drawn more walks in the last five seasons (596) than any other hitter in baseball. 'He has amazing control of the strike zone. You know he's probably not going to chase,' another pitcher said. 'He also has insane power and can hit the ball to all fields. He's such a tough out.' CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND METS STATS Soto, 26, is hitting .248 with 33 RBIs and 12 home runs in an up-and-down start to his Mets career after signing his record-breaking 15-year, $765 million deal. But the lefty is still sporting an impressive 142 OPS+ this season, and he's slowly breaking out of his slow start. 3 Mets outfielder Juan Soto leads MLB with 55 walks. AP Soto went 6-for-11 with five walks as the Mets swept the lowly Rockies over the weekend, and he reached base all six times (three singles, three walks) in a 13-5 win over Colorado on Sunday. Then, in Tuesday's 5-4 walk-off win over the Nationals, Soto went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and solo homer. After the game, Soto described his plate approach as trying to 'hunt mistakes,' which some of the polled pitchers pointed to. 3 Mets outfielder Juan Soto after his solo home run in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Nationals.
