If The Price is Right, then yes.

Charles Sid Fernandez?

Charles Ray Knight

The two home runs he gave up in Milwaukee last October set the stage for Pete Alonso's memorable home run.

One of the things that helped me get over my kneejerk reaction to losing Drew Gilbert is the memory of Jarred Kelenic. I remember the angst around here when he was traded, and how dealing him for Cano was going to be a disaster. (Someone here, don't remember who but, I think, someone who's not here anymore, said Kelenic was a certain Hall-of-Famer. That was ridiculous.) -
Mike Piazza was a rental too. He fit the definition that Gwreck shared above. Even if you eventually buy the condo that you're renting, during the time before the purchase, you were a renter.
-
I voted like. I originally thought the price was too high but as it's sinking in, I'm okay with it.
-
Maybe they can also get a Yoenis Cespedes.
-
I wonder if this will prompt the Mets to give Jett Williams more outfield time?
-
Seems like a lot to me, too. Of the three, I most regret losing Gilbert.
-
Butto, Gilbert, and Tidwell, says Gary.
-
Yeah. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the "for whom" part. Neither Vientos nor Baty have been pulled from today's game, so it's probably not either of them. My guess is it will be someone from Syracuse or Binghamton.
-
I wouldn't be opposed to the Mets getting Robert, if they think he can contribute. I just don't want them paying a high price in talent, which is what the White Sox reportedly want.
-
I'll always remember Hayes as the guy who Todd Zeile caught reaching into a bag for a snack (sunflower seeds?) while the ball was in play behind him.
-
Chicago's asking price for Robert is "very high". I hope they come down from that stance. He's sucked for about two years now and he still has a lot of money coming to him. They should be happy to trade him for Paul Blackburn.
-
Trading Blackburn would be a salary dump. They're not at all likely to get anyone of much value for him.
-
I'd hate to see them give up on Mark Vientos at this point. His 2024 season has earned him some patience. He may fizzle out like Ike Davis did, but he still has too much upside. Let's keep him for a while longer.
-
I feel your pain. The Mets have really sucked since Stearns was hired.
-
The touches of blue on the statue are interesting.
-
I have a feeling that That Seventies Guy was better known as a Phillie, but no actual name is coming to me.
-
I can't believe I forgot all about Windmill Canoelaugh!
-
I never saw it, at least not in its entirety. From the few clips I've seen, it appears that its heart was in the right place, but it was hampered by its low budget.
-
I'm sorta proud that I have two of the three incorrect answers. I just looked it up: Skip Lockwood had 65 saves with the Mets and only three with other teams. (One with the Angels and two with the Red Sox.) Neil Allen had 69 as a Met, five as a Cardinal, and one as a Yankee.
-
Skip Lockwood?
-
Edwin Diaz.
