Agreed. McCann is trending in the right direction at a fraction of the cost. Also, one the Mets best prospects is a C.

I would have loved for the Mets to get JT at the deal he signed for....
I would have been fine with the wait, but I don't have any reason to believe he would have chosen the Mets if the money was comparable.
I would have been fine with 5/125 for JT, so certainly would have been happy for the Mets to get him at 5/115. However, there was no guarantee that he would have chosen the Mets if the money was...
Cain also still played D at a high level (at an important defensive position) when he last played, while Cano was already in decline defensively.
Having been on a bargaining team, I understand that the goal is to get an ask, but why not accept what you know you already want even if initiated by management? This is especially true given that...
Don’t think I would like that deal since Bryant has been on the decline and is a FA and I like Peterson’s upside, especially while he is getting paid nothing. The only deal for Bryant I would be OK...
I like those additions for the Mets. I don't understand why JBJ is the only alternative CF ever mentioned for the Mets when Pillar would cost less, plays good D and bats RH.
His salary, the Cubs salary concerns and the fact that he is a FA after 2021 I would assume reduces his price at least somewhat. I wouldn't want to see the Mets give up too much for Bryant for the...
Don't think I would like that trade from the Mets standpoint based on the talent they would give up. I'd rather they just sign Bauer and Kolten Wong and move McNeil to 3B.
Glad there is some more clarity about that. Still concerned that they weren't ready to immediately pivot, because they still have a need. This FO seems to only be able to do one thing at a time. They...
No to including Dom.
Agreed.
It seems like they will simply reject anything that is initiated by ownership.
I would assume so too, but I wonder if some of that is mitigated by their desire to clear payroll for Bauer.
I think I'd rather the Mets get Gray and Suarez than Bauer.
Entitled? Do you mean hoping that the team you root for improves enough to actual win? I don't really understand how a fan of a team that mostly loses can be entitled. How is hoping for improvement,...
Everyone keeps citing Wilson as an alternative to Hand because he is a LHP. Why not just get a better overall RP like Colome? With the three batter minimum, the importance of specific matchups is...
Sure but with Springer they would be less likely to be down in the 9th given how much more productive he is on offense than JBJ. I get the concern about long term contracts and the luxury tax, but...
Seriously. They don’t need four more players who will contribute a little. They need two more players who will contribute a lot.
Again, please stop citing Lindor. Until he is signed long term, that is just the addition of payroll this season at the cost of a dependable, cost-controlled SS for several years.
You all can say whatever you want, but when this off-season ends with the Mets signing Almora and Justin Wilson it will have been a missed opportunity. It is that simple.
It’s not just losing Hand. It’s coming into the off-season with several clear needs and not getting the best player available at any of those positions of need. If Cohen is not going to influence any...
Mets should get Colome now that Hand is gone. First of all, the need for a lefty is diminished with the three batter rules. Second, they still need to get another guy who can potentially close, given...
This teams just doesn’t seem committed to doing everything it takes to field the best team. They seem to only be willing to go far enough to be competitive. It’s not good enough considering the...
Of course but why stop there when you don’t have to?! Good enough is not good enough for a team who hasn’t done **** for five years and plays in a very competitive division.
