Mets Morning News: Happy Birthday to the longest tenured Met

Meet the Mets

Noah Syndergaard wants New York to re-sign Yoenis Cespedes. Maybe the front office will listen if the right-hander hammers his point home.

Meanwhile, the Star-Ledger examines the pros and cons of bringing back Tyler Clippard.

Around the National League East

Wei-Yin Chen has been mentioned as a possible free agent target for the Nationals. The Taiwanese lefty spent the past four seasons with Baltimore.

Around the majors

Recent comments by Jason Heyward regarding his former club could add some heat to the Cubs vs. Cardinals rivalry.
