1. Johan Santana 2. Frank Viola 3. Brian Dozier 4. 5. 6. 7. Michael Cuddyer further down the list: Carlos Gomez

All seriousness, I’m sure this will be worked out eventually, but we all see that clicking the link for New York Mets talk doesn’t actually bring up any Mets threads? As for our quiz: 1. Santana 2. 3.Brian Dozier (do you remember his 7 games as a Met in 2020? I do not). 4. 5. 6. further down the list: Carlos Gomez

Only 10 for Dansby.

Top 6 players by Twins WAR who also played for the Mets…and go. 1. Santana 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

In fairness the Puerto Ricans are Americans too…

41, 31, 5, 15 1. You have to be a hall-of-fame caliber player to have your number retired. It’s supposed to be for the elite only. Koosman, Strawberry, Gooden, Hernandez? All should have their numbers un-retired. Big mistakes all around. Cheapens the honor for who deserves it. 2. You have to be readily associated with the Mets. Mays? Stengel? Laughable. Hodges isn’t laughable…but still no. I’d listen to arguments about Beltran here, but the majority of his best years were with the Mets, and the Mets were his primary team. 3. David Wright. Special exception to the HOF since he played his entire career with the team and is already borderline HOF/would have gotten there but for some fluky injuries/has multiple major team records.

I too was very surprised by how high Albies (and Hoskins) are on the list [th]Player[/th][th]Homers[/th][td]Bryce Harper[/td][td]40[td]Gincarlo Stanton[/td][td]38[td]Freddie Freeman[/td][td]31[td]Ozzie Albies[/td][td]22[td]Marcel Ozuna[/td][td]21[td]Anthony Rendon*[/td][td]21[td]Kyle Schwarber[/td][td]20[td]Juan Soto[/td][td]19[td]Austin Riley[/td][td]19[td]Paul Goldschmidt[/td][td]18[td]Ronald Acuna Jr.[/td][td]18[td]Rhys Hoskins[/td][td]17[td]Nolan Arenado[/td][td]16[td][/td][td]16[td]Matt Olson[/td][td]15[td]Trea Turner[/td][td]15[td]JT Realmuto[/td][td]14[td]Christian Yelich[/td][td]14[td]Aaron Judge[/td][td]14[/td][td][/td][td]13 *Still listed most places as “active” since he was on a MLB roster in 2025, but didn’t play in a game.

They had Realmuto on that team too. At the 2016 trade deadline they were 9 games over .500, 4 back in the division and led the Mets by 2.5 for the wild card. Their two trade deadline acquisitions (Fernando Rodney, Andrew Cashner) both performed badly, and then Jose Fernandez killed himself in the boating accident in September. And then the next year, those 4 hitters were even better, but with no upgrades to the pitching the results were no better.

100%. The blitz of retirements over the last few years was a big mistake.

It sure is. They didn’t do that with Pete Alonso, and if they had, there wouldn’t have been a contract issue with him after 2024. There is also now a prospect promotion incentive, so if Benge has a full year of service time as a rookie, and either wins the Rookie of the Year, or is top 3 in voting for MVP or Cy Young at any time before hitting arbitration eligibility, the Mets would get a bonus draft pick after the first round. However: a team can only get one prospect promotion incentive pick per year. And McLean is as likely as anyone to be on the roster the whole year and win ROY.

Felt like we were flagging on the last one and those last few answers there are impossible. Although if Steve Reed is there, you never know.

I believe Shawon was already guessed. Not him.

Ray Burris is a great guess. There were 2 other Cubs/Mets who were better than Ray as a Cub, however. Ray had 10.3 WAR as a Cub.

Harper only took over the number one spot last year despite playing his entire career in the NL East and Stanton (1) having been out of the division since 2018 and (2) missing the majority of Subway Series games since that time.
