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."

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: “He’s going to prove it,” said Matt Simon, who coached Davis at Western Michigan. “And I’m not just talking about on Sundays or numbers, but he’s 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](.

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. He’s not that good a player, either." Watch it unfold [here](.
