[Edgy MD]

Man, those are some big-ticket pitching options. I know he didn't have a strong second half, but is Clayton Kershaw really suddenly a lesser asset than Starling Marte? Or Marcus Stroman?

[Fman99]

What do I get to beat him with? I've been watching the AEW with my son and I have to advocate for the metal folding chair.

[seawolf17]

Sure, I'll play.

And how about Aaron Loup getting notched ahead of Kenley Jansen and Noah Syndergaard?



Should I really conclude that Loup is going to get a bigger deal this offseason?

[Lefty Specialist]

Boy, that's a huge payroll if that's true, lol.



I'd take a flier on Carlos Rodon. Oft-injured but really good when healthy. Probably could get him for short years and bucks, and he didn't get a QO from the Pale Hose, so no draft pick involved.

[Edgy MD]

Look at the Dodgers, just sitting out the offseason free-agent market. Bold!

[Lefty Specialist]

I worry that with no GM and POBO, and a short deadline for signings since the CBA expires on 12/1, the Mets may get left out in the cold on a lot of free agents.

[smg58]

I don't have the time to put a whole lot of thought into this. But the Mets need Stroman more than they need Baez.

[Edgy MD]
