    Ceetar hasn't been around for a while. If he was here, this thread would have already included the words "garbage" and "meh."
  2. Benjamin Grimm
    I seem to recall that he looked pretty good for the first two games on the season, both played before April 1, and then he disappeared for a long time. He's not the guy who fell off the curb, but he may as well have been.
  3. Benjamin Grimm
    I suspect that's a big part of why he got hired. Why pick a nerd like Chaim Bloom when you can have Don Draper?

    $20 million to an AL team after the 2021 season.

    I agree with the above. Cano's contract is almost certain to be a burden in those last couple of years. I guess it's possible that $20 million (the amount the Mets will be on the hook for) won't seem like so much in 2023, but it's hard to imagine that Cano will be worth it even if there's salary inflation. My guess is that the Mets will end up paying him about half of that amount, if not more, to DH for an American League team.

    Looks like a fun guy.
  8. Benjamin Grimm
    Oh, we can be sure that there's more to come.

    I'm going to be as optimistic as I can and say "I kinda don't like it." I think it will make them better for 2019, so if the Mets go deep into the postseason this year or next it will have been a worthwhile trade, more so if they win a World Series. But Cano is very likely to be a headache in 2022 and 2023, if not before then. We'll have to see how the Mets deal with that.

    Kids will be lining up to sit on Diaz's bone spur.

    I just got the "It's Official!" e-mail from the Mets. I get the impression we're supposed to be happy about this.

    Rickey Henderson

    And it overestimates (in my opinion) the value of a closer. If Diaz is really the best of the best it will be nice to have him, but they've paid too much to get him.
  15. Benjamin Grimm
    They'd be very left-handed though, but I suppose another roster move or two could take care of that.
  16. Benjamin Grimm
    My guess is that the trade becomes official tomorrow and the press conference will be on Tuesday. But that's just a guess.
  17. Benjamin Grimm
    True, but the Mets just frittered away last years #6 pick, so I'm not about to let myself get too attached to this year's #9 pick.
  18. Benjamin Grimm
    The only math that matters here is the math that the Wilpons are doing, regardless of whether or not it's accurate. If they think/i] this deal gives them more money to spend, then hopefully they'll spend more money.
  19. Benjamin Grimm
    I'm not too concerned about the draft pick. He looks like he'd be a good guy to get if they can keep it to a three-year contract.
  20. Benjamin Grimm
    Well, the bone spur hasn't been a problem yet! I admire the right margin in your post. Did you do that intentionally?
  21. Benjamin Grimm
    The New York Post says that the Mets might be talking about him: Yasmani Grandal may be back in play to fill Mets’ catching need He has a QO, which means that the Mets would lose a draft pick, which means less trade fodder for aging highly-paid veterans.
  22. Benjamin Grimm
    Does this qualify as good news??? Edwin Diaz’s bone spur condition hasn’t been a problem yet
  23. Benjamin Grimm
    I read somewhere that the Commissioner's office has to approve any transaction in which more than $1 million moves from one team to another, and that they only do these kinds of approvals during normal business hours, which means that this thing won't get done until Monday at the earliest. Which gives us an extra two days for this to potentially fall apart for one reason or another, not that I think that's likely to happen.
  24. Benjamin Grimm
    So, it worked for the Astros. That doesn't mean it's the only way to do it.
  25. Benjamin Grimm
    Anyone care to break this tie?
