They probably know more about baseball than the folks now at The Sporting News, Sports Illustrated and ESPN combined. Later

The Mets have signed utility player Nick Madrigal to a split major/minor league contract. Later

This reporter is saying that we can blame Brandon Nimmo for this mess: https://www.nj.com/mets/2025/01/ny-host-pete-alonsos-mets-friend-got-into-his-ear-triggered-his-free-agency-freeze.html Later

If nothing else, it keeps a place on the back pages warm for a biggie signing. Later

I was a big Luis Santana fan (I think I adopted him). OE: Yep, I did: https://phpbb3.leaptoad.com/mets/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=27772&p=163555&hilit=luis+santana#p163555https://phpbb3.leaptoad.com/mets/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=27772&p=163555&hilit=luis+santana#p163555 Later

I've always taken prospect reports with a grain of salt since the report in Baseball Digest said Bud Harrelson had "good power for a shortstop". Later

From a Strat site: It's tough to compare BA vs BP when looking at Mets prospects with the lead BP guys being Mets fanboys...who actually have been more critical of Mets prospects in recent years up until Stearns became the PoBO as they loved the 2024 draft. Keith Law was the biggest fan of Mets prospects for quite some time - maybe because of his friendship with longtime Mets scouting director Tommy Tanous who he worked together with for years as part of the Toronto Blue Jays in the mid 2000s...Mark Vientos being an example of a Mets prospect constantly downgraded by the BP folks and liked a lot better by BA or Law. Interesting. Later

Sporting News had a WATP in which the Mets trade Parada and Houck to Detroit for Torkelson. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/new-york-mets/news/mets-3-player-trade-idea-would-bring-tigers-spencer-torkelson-queens/19cae544f21ce350df6bb121https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/new-york-mets/news/mets-3-player-trade-idea-would-bring-tigers-spencer-torkelson-queens/19cae544f21ce350df6bb121 That seems too little for a guy who has been in the majors. I just think someone there is dying to use the headline "Flop Swap". Later

Today would be a good day to announce the signing, a slow sports news day. Later

The internets are saying that the MFYs are in talks with Jose Iglesias. If they sign him, it would feel like a tug at my heart strings and a kick in the gonads. Later

I think it was at the Golden Globes Awards that someone congratulated Brody for surviving the Holocaust twice. That said, today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. Olevai Shalom. Later

The other day I read a comment about Stearns that said he undervalues first basemen. The person said that if you look at the rosters of his Milwaukee teams, he spent on other positions and pitching and his first basemen weren't costly. I haven't checked that but it seems to be consistent with what we've heard about the negotiations. Later

Conclave was nominated for (I think) 8 awards and the director wasn't nominated. That doesn't happen very often. Later

Spencer Torkelson: Let's discuss him
MFS62 replied to Johnny Lunchbucket's topic in New York Mets Talk
He had one decent power year, but with tons of Ks. The second year he had a high k/AB ratio in less playing time. That indicates to me the team played him less and less as opposing pitchers caught up with his weaknesses. Unless he's real cheap, I'd pass. Later -
Mets have signed righty Adbert Alzolay on a two year minor league contract. He's recovering from TJ surgery and has pitched as both a starter and reliever in the majors with good results(until his injury). https://metsmerizedonline.com/mets-agree-to-minor-league-deal-with-adbert-alzolay/ Later

So, without specifying what abandonment means, they're still leaving it to the judgement of the umpire? Why bother? Later

This just in - Mariano was just named to a Cabinet position. He was giving the Jim Jordan Award for ignoring reports of sexual abuse. The only higher one is the Pete Hegseth Award for ... you know, abuse.. Later
