Hopefully Scott is no longer the acting GM and the Mets get a real FO member in there. Let Sandy take more of a background approach and change things up. Wouldn’t suck, Scott shouldn’t have been here in the first place.

Yankees did the same thing. It's not just a Met thing.Quote:

Isn't having the richest owner in sports supposed to have changed that?
Probably didn't want to go to luxury tax this year so next year won't be as bad

So Mets did not make a second deal for Maeda and Donaldson because they to cheap to pay for most of their contracts??
What a real ****ing embarrassment.
Billionaire owner and again penny pinching.

I think Conforto may take QO or sign one year deal. His value will be very lowQuote:

It’d actually be pretty cool to get Correa at the hot corner if the Mets do keep Baez.

Or go get Seager

Only thing that makes me forget this is something like resigning Baez for 2B, and signing Seager, Correa, or Bryant for 3B.
Well if there is one thing we know, it’s how much can change from one year to the next.
If you would have told me that Javier Baez and Francisco Lindor would be on a first place Mets team, I would have laughed at you.

Why in the world would the Mets want to take on a combined $60mil in salary between aging Donaldson/Cano heading into next year? Especially after getting Baez. That move would just make absolutely zero sense.Quote:

What would you do with McNeil and Cano ?Quote:

Maeda made sense because he is not a back end guy and gives them depth not just for this year but incase if they lose both Syndergaard and Stroman.
Not a fan of Donaldson but at least he plays a position of need.
This team has a new owner that should be willing to add money with no problem.
Also they were not going to take in all that money, they just wanted the Twins to take more, so they were penny pinching again.

Maeda wasn’t available until late today, the Twins wanted the Mets to take on the whole Donaldson contract and give up prospects. The Mets ran out of time to make the deal work. That’s what I heard.Quote:

That’s a 66 million left on that contract and the Mets ran out of time to finish negotiating it. Because he’s rich doesn’t make him a fool.Quote:

Improved the team without giving their top prospects. Well done!
I seriously doubt Cano plays in Flushing anymore.Quote:

LOL deGrom out until September most likely. Probably misses too much time to win the CY now, but hell, how will we win the division now with the Braves and Phillies making much better moves than us? Our SP went from dominant to mediocre. If Carrasco isn't an Ace, we're in trouble.
He wasn't reported until late today to be available but that doesn't mean he wasn't available. The news reporters get things way after the scenesQuote:

I love how the Mets apparently knew of degrom injury at 1-2 PM and decided we have enough pitching

It helps that he traded for a personal favorite player of mine without also not trading any of my personal favorite prospects.

Mets fans are gonna love Baez. You might not. You usually dig your heels on stuff like this, so I doubt you will...but I bet the city loves him.
Time will tell.
For real tho...Mets fans are acting like the braves and Phillies had A+++ deadlines while we completely failed with an F.
It’s irrational.

Don't forget Rich Hill. MLB hands these 2 guys the Cy Young Award before the season starts.Quote:

Scott talking about nobody can replace deGrom, but fact remains that you can get guys that are better than Hill or ****ing Williams incase you don’t get him back or just for the simple fact that you need starters who are good for the stretch run.
That’s a weak excuse man. It’s ****ing pathetic.
