December 16 doesn’t have too much significance to me. It’s still more than a week away from Christmas and a good warning sign that I better get shopping. For the New York Mets, it’s a day when they have done some major shopping both in free agency and the trade market.
Baseball and December go well together even if there aren’t any games going on. It’s the time of year when every team is atop the division. We hear about rumors, actually see moves happen, and have hope for the coming season.
In Mets history, they’ve used the middle of the month to add some big-name players.
