What does Mike Piazza know? Something, he said Monday at a news conference during his stop at Mets spring training. According to Piazza, there could be some [Mets Hall of Fame news]( making its way through the grapevine: "I don't want to give any surprises away, because I know some things," he said. "I don't want to spoil it, but I think this year we're gonna have some nice additions to the (Mets) Hall of Fame."
More from Piazza on a potential Francisco Lindor extension [here]( and on Jacob deGrom's Hall of Fame chances [here](. 2. ASTROS 5, METS 4 -- Joey Lucchesi started yesterday, pitching 3.1 innings while allowing three runs on four hits. One thing:
- Most of the offense the Mets produced came on one swing from Albert Almora Jr., who [lined]( a three-run homer. His OPS is .841 through 11 spring games.
[Takeaways]( Today's probable starter: Marcus Stroman 3. PHILLIES 4, YANKEES 0 -- The Yankees K'd 12 times in an offensively-challenged night game. One thing:
- Jameson Taillon pitched 2.2 innings, striking out five but allowing five hits and a run. His ERA this spring is 1.08 in 8.1 innings, though he has a 1.56 WHIP.
Also: Pitcher Justin Wilson ended his outing after only 17 pitches due to a shoulder issue. He was "just having a hard time getting loose," [said]( Aaron Boone. [Takeaways]( Today's probable starter: Corey Kluber On SNY.tv:
- MARTINO: [Who will be the Yankees' fifth starter?]( Trivia time Four players have 75-plus sacks as New York Giants. How many can you name? Answer at the bottom. The spring training highlight of the day goes to ... @SNY.tv/Twitter ... the entire Mets infield -- or, at least the three involved in yesterday's triple play, which went Jose Peraza to Wilfredo Tovar to Brandon Drury. Basically the new Tinkers to Evers to Chance. (Jose Altuve lined out to second, which created a force at second and first base). If you were wondering, the last regular season triple play turned by the Mets came in 2014, [according]( to Baseball Almanac. [Here]( it is. The Giants: Not done Christopher Hanewinckel/USA TODAY Sports A few days after putting their stamp on the offseason by signing Kenny Golladay, the Giants got back to business, [signing]( free agent CB Adoree' Jackson yesterday.
- The deal: $39 million over three years, with $26 million guaranteed.
Who is Jackson? A 25-year-old former first-round pick who missed all but three games last season with a knee injury. His best two seasons were his first two, when he played in every game and totaled 27 passes defended, three forced fumbles, 143 tackles, and two interceptions. He figures to play across from fellow CB James Bradberry. In other free agency buzz, SNY spoke with new Jet Corey Davis' college coach. Here's what he had to say about Davis' enlarged role in New York: âHeâs going to prove it,â said Matt Simon, who coached Davis at Western Michigan. âAnd Iâm not just talking about on Sundays or numbers, but heâs going to walk into that locker room and people naturally gravitate towards him because of his mindset, because of his work ethic."
He had plenty more to say about Davis. Read [here](. On SNY.tv:

[the Rangers beat the Sabres]( 5-3, handing Buffalo its 14th straight pointless game and pulling to within four points of a playoff spot. 96.6 percent [According]( to Her Hoop Stats, the Huskies have a modest 96.6 percent shot at beating Syracuse in their second round game tonight. 28 years On this day 28 years ago, the Knicks and Suns erupted in an epic brawl, which started when Kevin Johnson hit New York's Doc Rivers with an over-the-top shoulder screen. That led to some pushing, which led to Knicks point guard Greg Anthony, in street clothes, punching Johnson, which escalated the brawl. Said Suns guard Danny Ainge after the game: "Like I said, I love the way Starks, Mason and Rivers play. But Greg Anthony goes overboard. Heâs not that good a player, either."
