I'm most curious to see what happens with Vogelbach. I, for one, would let him go.



I've seen rumors that Drew Smith might be traded before the deadline hits.

[Chad ochoseis]

I think we definitely want to keep that Alonso guy.

[whippoorwill]

Keep the position players; put the pitchers on a slow boat to China

Tender:



1B Pete Alonso $22 million

RHP Drew Smith $2.2 million

LHP David Peterson $2.0 million

LHP Joey Lucchesi $2.0 million

OF DJ Stewart $1.5 million

RHP Jeff Brigham $1.1 million

Non-Tender:



DH Daniel Vogelbach $2.6 million

INF Luis Guillorme $1.7 million

RHP Trevor Gott $2.0 million

[MFS62]

Peterson is an interesting case. He is on the IL. I'm not sure if you can non-tender a player on the IL because he would lose his medical benefits (in his case rehab from surgery). I would think the MLBPA would be against that policy.

Can a team do that under the current bargaining agreement?



Later

[Edgy MD]

There's no injured list in the off-season. Peterson is, by the rules, at the end of his contract and hoping for a new one.

[whippoorwill]

So he's on his own for doctor bills?



Ouch



You know I never thought of that. Do the players get insured by the team or by the union?

[G-Fafif]

Vogey has been non-tendered.

[G-Fafif]

[G-Fafif]

[MFS62]

Good.

I think Joey and smith will be key parts of the staff next year.

Guillorme and Vogelbach really fell into disuse the last month of the season.



Really, Vogelbach did. Guillorme spent much of the second half hurt, with the Mets in no hurry to get him back on the field. When he finally came back, he appeared in one game and sat for another 10 days.



He'll probably have a contract with somebody before the week is out.

[Fman99]

Peace out to Trevor Gott, Fwife's most hated Met since I cannot recall

[Frayed Knot]

From what I heard (secret sources) your wife's testimony was the reason they released him.

[whippoorwill]

Lol

[ashie62]

Happy to see DJ back

[kcmets]

I'll miss Vogie, he was huge.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Vogue and Gitmo were both memorable players and true Mets

[Edgy MD]

It's like the world didn't even know it needed a cross between Lucas Duda and Chris Farley, and there this guy was.

Slim pickings.

[DocTee]

Among those non-tendered there are a few with Metly pedigree: Dom Smith, Thomas Szapucki, and--more recently if only tangentially, Penn Murfee

[Edgy MD]

Luis Guillorme, Sr. certainly seems to think his son is off to other horizons.



Also doesn't appear to be much of a Mickey Callaway fan.

[MFS62]

Classy. He thanked the "little guys".

His twitter is not somewhere I want to inhabit very long.

[Edgy MD]

True for me also.



Although the statement is equally true without the qualifier "His."
