    June was rather brutal, wasn't it?

    I think the Aoki thing was more about a lack of diversity (position-wise) on the 40-man roster. But that, in turn, may have been because of a lack of outfielders worthy of a spot on the 40.

    Maybe a family member (wife, kid) has a doctor's appointment that he needs to be there for?

    He also (I think) has a full no-trade clause. So he'd have to agree to any trade, and would possibly demand some kind of additional compensation for his waiver of the no-trade. (Although the chance to go from a losing team to a contender might be all the incentive he needs.)

    Obviously, at this point it looks like a bad deal, but there's still a chance that it can redeem itself. If Cespedes hits 40 homers in 2020 and the Mets win the World Series, we'll have a different perspective on his contract.

    There are only 30 MLB GM jobs in the world, and each one is highly coveted. Any incoming GM who gets miffed that trades were made three months before he was hired is too much of a diva and we'd be better off without him.

    The last GM the Mets hired came from outside the organization.

    I rarely start an IGT. Maybe I can start the Mets on the 40-game winning streak that they need.

    He seems closer to the latter, but I agree he deserves more time. He should certainly finish out the season. A new GM might insist on the right to hire his own guy, and he may be granted that right.

    I was quite impressed by Mickey during the months after he was hired, but fortunately, I provided the caveat that my opinion might change once the season was underway. I didn't think it would, but it has. He really seems to be a guy who's in over his head. He may eventually settle in and be a very good manager, but I think he may be an example of the Peter Principle. He got promoted from a job he was good at (Cleveland pitching coach) to a job for which he's not all that qualified.

    Visitor post on the UMDB: NYB Buff wrote: Brandon Nimmo hit two home runs in this game, one of which was inside the park. The homers gave Nimmo a total of eighteen as a Met. Therefore, he set a new team mark for round-trippers by a player whose last name begins with the letter N. The previous record holder was Kirk Nieuwenhuis with 17.

    You're like one of those therapy cats who can predict cancer.
  19. Benjamin Grimm
    Fixed. Thanks!

    My guess is that Ricco will be the decision maker.
  22. Benjamin Grimm
    Yeah, but Jeff might prefer to have $1 billion for his son than a forever struggling baseball team.
  23. Benjamin Grimm
    My hope, as I've stated before, is that Jeff decides to cash out and sell the team after Fred dies. I don't know how likely that is, but it's something to hope for.

    Voting for the games played between June 1 and June 17 will close on Tuesday, July 3. If you're on the list below with a 14 next to your name, you're all caught up on the games that are about to close. If not, and if you're so inclined, please try to get your votes in over the next week. Vic Sage 14 Benjamin Grimm 14 G-Fafif 14 Kongsuds 14 Ashie62 11 FK 1

    Me too. The money I spent on Extra Innings this season is pretty much a wasted expenditure.
