I think that the players in the WBC are insured so the Mets will be reimbursed for Edwin's salary.

Following up on the insurance, I read Kershaw wanted to participate but couldn't get insurance

I liked it better in the 1950s where they all just shook hands and left the field.

I don't think the job goes to anybud. Or, at least, it shouldn't go to anybody right off. Drew Smith, Adam Ottavino, Robertson, John Curtiss ... let 'em all pitch and see whose performance elevates them.



David Peterson might walk out of 2023 as the team's save leader.

i dont think there should be any hurry to name a closer, just let Buck use who he wants to use when he wants to use them

Go get Looper and Putz

Stroman, always the first guy I think of when I want a drama-free sensible take. Stro is on team Puerto Rico after previously repping the USA



It's time for all of us to pretend Diaz never existed, and don't get too excited for '24.

[metirish]

Stro is currently banging heads with the equally annoying Barstool dope on Twitter

[Edgy MD]

Duke may mean you're smart. It doesn't always mean you're wise.

Which really adds to the sense that eligibility for these teams is a bit of a joke to avoid the fact that not many nations really play baseball at a serious level - we need a U.S. territory to fill out one of the teams and anyone who has ever attended a bar mitzvah can play on another one.

[Edgy MD]

Well, while I certainly reject players jumping national teams, Puerto Rico regularly participates on the international athletic stage (The Olympic Games, The Pan-American Games, World Cup Soccer, The Little League World Series, etc.) as a separate entity from The United States.

Mets confirm Edwin, despite his progress, will not pitch in what's left of this season.

[smg58]

Good. We've long past the point where there was anything to gain from it.

Since this is about dominant New York relievers, this popped up in my Facebook memories today-

October 7, 2016 · The Mets had two Riveras on the field but none in the bullpen.

I couldn't figure out what other thread it belonged in.

Hurry back, Edwin.
