Sorry to see that Nick Zwack was included.

The nice thing about Darin Ruf is that he's seven years older than J.D. Davis. I haven't been this excited since the Mets got Michael Cuddyer.

Reports say that Hosmer has rejected the trade, but it's expected to go through without him.

Hosmer really has a lot of leverage here.

Well, maybe he'll get through the Nationals lineup in 27 pitches.

Seven straight! If this keeps up, Stockholm owes Ashie a case or Rice-a-Roni. The gigantic box, of course! http://leaptoad.com/mets/covers/images/gigantic_rice.png>

Yes, they all suck. Not one prospect has ever become a quality major leaguer. Name one! I dare you!

I'd be okay with a mundane sweep.

Ahh, Patrick Corbin! The bitter pill that a team might have to swallow if they want to get Juan Soto.

So, who's next? I'm going to guess, for no particular reason, Kansas City.

Well, he may have to move to another position if he and Alvarez both remain in the Mets organization.

=soupcan post_id=101458 time=1659126002 user_id=134] That article makes deGrom seems like a dick. Is he?

The Sporting News (they still exist) wrote: The No. 1 seed will play the winner of the No. 4-No. 5 series, while No. 2 will play the winner of No. 3-No. 6. This is to keep series balanced, and to ensure that No. 1 isn't stuck playing against a division winner under any circumstances in the second round. So Mets would play the winner of Brewers-Phillies. Dodgers would play the winner of Braves-Padres. I like that a lot better.

Oops, I got that backwards! Sorry!

The Brewers-Phillies winner would play the Dodgers. The seeding would be Dodgers-Mets-Brewers-Braves-Padres-Phillies throughout the postseason. I agree, I'd rather see the Mets play the Brewers or Phillies, but they'd get the Braves or Padres.

And you'd have the possibility of an NLCS between the Braves and the Phillies, the teams that finished second and third in the NL East.

I wasn't sure of this, so I checked it out and am sharing here in case anyone else is wondering or forgot. If the standings at the end of the season remain as they are today, the division winners would be seeded as Dodgers first, then Mets, then Brewers. The three wild cards would be, in order, Braves, Padres, Phillies. (Phillies squeak past Cardinals based on their head-to-head record; Phils won 4 of 7.) Mets and Dodgers would get a first-round bye, while the Brewers play the Phillies in Milwaukee and the Braves play the Padres in Atlanta. These are best-of-three series, with no home games for the lower seeed team. I think this will be called the "Wild Card Series" but I'm not sure of that. I'd prefer to call them the League Quarterfinal Series. (The NLQS.) There is no reseeding for the next round, the NLDS. The Dodgers would play the winner of Brewers-Phillies and the Mets would play the winner of Braves-Padres. These are still best-of-five series and, I assume, will follow the 2-2-1 format, with the top seed hosting games 1, 2, and 5.

Have they at least determined which arm it is?

Someone should tell Gary Cohen that Canha's name is pronounced "Can-or-Reese".
