  1. For some reason that I never understood, this is the kind of thread that would always piss off batmagadanleadoff.
  2. I just thought of Steve Henderson. I'd love for the Mets to be able to get a Steve Henderson. When the Mets got him, he was ready to play in the big leagues but just hadn't yet. The problem is, I don't think the Mets have anyone who will get them a Steve Henderson, but that's the ideal as far as I'm concerned.
  3. I'm not interested in "down the line" either. I'd much prefer a AAA guy who's a top 30 prospect in the organization than a Single-A guy who's a top 10. Stearns is under pressure to turn things around sooner rather than later, so I don't expect him to trade for any 19-year-olds. But I didn't expect him to trade Nimmo for Semien either, so who can say?
  4. Laura Albanese in Newsday: This is what I've been thinking. I'd really like to see Stearns bring in some players who have at least a little bit of a track record and can help in 2027. I acknowledge that this is much easier said than done. The 2027 guy you might want is likely a contributor to the 2026 team that's trying to lock in a postseason slot.
  5. Frank Tanana? He had a long career and bounced around a lot, I think.
  6. Agreed. Maybe that hypothetical Benge trade would make more sense once other puzzle pieces are put into place.
  7. I can see that happening. It's not implausible that Bichette would return in 2027 and try to play his way to a better contract.
  8. I'd also be upset if Lindor went. He's been my favorite Met of the current decade. (Pete a close second.) I've seen a few reports that Holmes wants to stay, and is willing to discuss an extension. If true, I hope they work it out. There's a better than even chance that Holmes over the next few years would be a better asset than whomever they would get for him in a trade.
  9. This paragraph is from the response to a reader's question in a mailbag post in The Athletic today:
  10. How about Gaylord Perry?
  11. He's fallen so far since 2024.
  12. How many Scrabble points do you get for XZAVION?
  13. Didn't the Mets have a player named Quilvio Veras, or something like that?
  14. Do we need to send out a search party to look for Fman99?
  15. Do we know the significance of the number 66 in the Inland Empire? Is it about Route 66?
  16. What league is this? Who are IE and ONT?
  17. It's not often that you see a game where both teams have an 11-run inning.
  18. I would have forgotten Teagarden except that he has a funny name and one of his few (maybe only?) hits for the Mets was a grand slam.
