The article reflects on the misunderstanding surrounding Paul Blackburn, highlighting his long-term association with the team since being traded from Oakland. Though expected to contribute, he is on the 15-day injured list, missing the opening day roster. In his place is Max Kranick, who, despite initial assumptions about his background, did not join the Mets in the previous season. Additionally, there's an announcement about the SABR Casey Stengel Chapter's annual meeting, pointing to ongoing fan engagement with team history.
"So it turned out I was wrong about Paul Blackburn in more ways than one. Not only has he been a member of the organization since last July 30 when acquired in a trade from Oakland, but he also wound up on the 15-day injured list and not on the opening day roster."
"Instead there's Max Kranick, who if you asked me seemed to a suspect for previous Mets experience but in fact never arrived last year despite all the Sulsers, Jays and Adcocks they ran through here."
