=kcmets post_id=116134 time=1672933037 user_id=53] Things have not changed in the 521 days since determining that Bahnd of Gold doesn't quite flow up above ^^^.

He wasn't here long enough to inspire a Band of Gold (Freda Payne) song parody. Later

Could be Zach Greinke, but I'm not sure if he pitched in both leagues. Later
-
There was an article on Yahoo sports that said the BoSox would be interested in a trade for Carrasco, but did not say which/ or if, specific names have been discussed. Could just be some sportswriter's chowda. Later

He was a lefty-hitting #1 draft pick from California. We hoped he would be another Daryl Strawberry. We got Dominic Smith. Later

We apologize to all wagerers who took Woods in the Draft Kings Name-That-Opening-Day-Roster contest. Darn it! Another bet down the drain. Later

Jean Segura signs with the Marlins. No CPF FA points. Later

He played in Japan for a bit, and was always an active figure at MLB Player Alumni Association (of which he was a founding member) events. He was claimed by the angels on Monday. I was stationed at Ft. Belvoir, Va. in 1966 and remember Valentine. He was the first African-American player I ever saw on a TV commercial. It was for Tasty-Cake (pre- packaged pastries - think Sara Lee or Entemans). I remember his one line of dialogue: "This is Fred Valentine, and I'm making the T sign, for Tasty Cake cakes and pies".

There are TWO Mark Vientoses? The first one says "Agreed to Terms on Deal to Sign away from MIN" What does that mean? Was he ever removed rom the 40 man roster and had to be re-acquired? The second says "Signed as second-round draft pick out of American Heritage HS (FL), 6/26/2017." Wich i what I expected to read. Later

So it could stick or not stick Correa had multiple Injured list stays in 2019 bue to back issues. Did not see any verbage of how severe these stints we're aside from "lower back soreness" But none of his recent stints on the IL were even remotely related to the leg injury they're concerned about. And that is what Boras will remind them of to finalize the deal. Later

Frayed Knot wrote: Boras and Correa (Borrea?) are denying that there even is an injury concern so they're not going to be anxious to agree to a deal with non-guaranteed money on account of it. But, so far at least, two out of two clubs seem to think that there is a concern. The contract has been signed and I would be greatly surprised if Boras would renegotiate/modify it. It is now between the Mets and their insurance company. Later

Brandon Drury signed a 2 year $17 million contract with he Angels. No points in our FA contest. Later

https://twitter.com/LennyDykstra/status/1606251915909533698 And in a similar move, Willie Sutton's family just tweeted that he has gone 42 years without robbing a bank. Memo to Lenny: The only one who cares is (maybe) your parole officer. Later

Three good years before 27 but we wanted him to get better after that. Later

I remember Al Moran hit under .200 and never changed his stance. Frustrating to watch. McCann was painful to watch - like seeing an animal caught in a trap. Later

Glad to see things are still big in Texas. Later

Edgy MD wrote: McNeil may have a big payday coming up, but I'm not sure it'll be with the Mets. Me neither. But he's been way less grumpy under Cohen than under the Wilpons. And Steve can afford enough acorns to keep the squirrel happy. Later

Sounds like we should discuss Liam Hendriks

=bmfc1 post_id=115292 time=1671648219 user_id=73] and they have to take McCann back (where he was successful but they'll want the Mets to eat some of his contract). -
=metsmarathon post_id=115285 time=1671647053 user_id=83] damnit, i was really proud of my correa point...

Dear Mr. Axelrod; boo hoo! Strongly worded letter to follow. Later

I remember when all-everything defensive end Reggie White held a press conference to say he was signing with the Jets, then got on a plane to Green Bay and signed with the Packers. It feels good when you're on the other side of those things. Later
