Beltran's In Town Applesauce - Beltran forgives Mets, Takahashi impresses, Wright's undetermined legacy

Meet the Mets

Carlos Beltran says "let bygones be bygones" about the front office. But, what in the world is he wearing on his reporting to camp?

While Kelvim Escobar is frustrated by his quick injury, the Mets are impressed with Takahashi. 

Howard Megdal writes that there's a lot of legacy yet to be determined for David Wright.

Mike Steffanos points out where the Mets fell short this offseason.

The Mets might still be interested in another lefty specialist if they're willing to accept a Barajas-type deal.

Metsmerized wants the Mets to channel their inner Mark Messier. Or something.

Around MLB

I'm not above giving credit to the Phillies blogs, especially when they give a good Big Lebowski reference. Fortunately, Jayson Werth's beard is just such an opportunity.

Maybe with Jason Bay in left now we won't have to deal with Manny Ramirez 3.0.

Aroldis Chapman is having trouble finding good Cuban food.

Chipper thinks that the NL East standings are going to invert, which means the Braves will stay exactly where they are.

Kevin Appier pulls a Ringo Starr.
