LockeJET Posted December 21, 2022 Author Share Posted December 21, 2022 Get on the horn with the Angels. Center a package around Baty and finish the off season acquiring Ohtani. Then trade McCann, Escobar and cookie for RP. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Jet Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I keep hearing Steve Cohen doesn’t care about losing money. My question is if the Mets do well and make a deep run, I’m imagining the stadium would be packed most of the summer thru the fall. Wouldn’t the Mets be making money even with the huge payroll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so funny as a Yankees fan watching this unfold. Mets fans were forever hating on the Yankees' willingness to spend and "ruin baseball", now they love it when their guy does it. By the way, this is unprecedented. Not even George Steinbrenner went this far. The Mets are approaching a $500 million payroll. They'll spend >60% more than the 2nd biggest payroll (and aren't going to win a thing). They're going to pay more in luxury tax than a handful of teams spend on payroll. "Uncle Stevie" (dumbest nickname I've ever heard, but in line with "Timmy Trumpet" or whatever that stupid thing is) is about to learn a hard lesson. Not that he cares. The real-life Bobby Axelrod will just keep stealing money to feed his hobbies. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No self awareness at all from the fanbase. You're celebrating things you hated on for a long time. I hope them the best. Nothing is better in baseball summer than when both NY teams are good. I'd love another Subway Series. But from a pure baseball perspective, I'm not overly impressed.

LockeJET Posted December 21, 2022 Author Share Posted December 21, 2022 Someone is getting traded. Multiple trades possibly. Escobar and McCann possibly. Baty in a bigger deal is also possible. Definitely some options now after adding Correa. After the next two years, you have Sherzer, Verlander, McCann, Canha, Escobar, Cano, Robertson, Quintana, Narvaez, Ottavino coming off the books. That’s $177 million coming off the books in the next two years. So definitely room for Ohtani and then resigning Alonso and possibly McNeil. Could be a big trade, still coming with some of the youngsters, but Mauricio could end up playing second base if they don’t eventually sign McNeil. Alonso it’s gonna get somewhere around 300 million. They are going to have $1 billion infield. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Escobar is a given to be traded with the way he ended last year and how soft they are at DH. Have to keep him through the first few months to see if he can pick up where he left off.

His 2022 stats are not amazing but I guess that's the going rate for players these days? He won GG and whatever Platinum Glove is but at SS. He'll be playing 3B for us. Crazy offseason but we'll see how it works out. Should be good in the short-term, at least. Still not sure we're better than the Braves but we'll see.

Rangers9 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Correa is scheduled for a presser to sign with the Giants it’s cancelled and two days later he signs with the Mets (for less money). I thought the reason they cancelled the presser was uncertainty about his physical. I guess the story will come out. Did the Giants get cold feet or were there legit questions about his health. Correa is a great player but Mets already have a 300 million plus shortstop. Personally I like Escobar he carried the Mets offensively for a stretch last year plus he’s a good defensive third baseman. I’m for players getting good contracts but not for teams buying championships. And it doesn’t always work out that way sometimes lower budget teams very competitive like the Rays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
