    I’m guessing this is what needed to be done to get out from Nimmo’s contract. We’ll have to see what else they do before we can really gauge this trade. Maybe Semien is a placeholder until Jett is ready. And then they eat the rest of his contract in 2027/2028.

    That package is way too much. (that's what she said about Fman and me) All kidding aside, it definitely feels like we're giving up too much. From Detroit's side, they'll likely ask for McLean. Which suggests this deal will never get done.

    I wonder how many forums are even alive. Message boards kinda seem like a Y2K thing. Were dinosaurs

    Except I think you’re quoting me. Never trust guitar dudes. They’re always high and sleep deprived from all those groupies.

    I have a hard time believing that anyone really knows what the Mets are planning. I get that Passan is well connected, and may have sources that have talked to the Mets, and can speculate based on those conversations. But this Cohen regime has been extremely tight-lipped. And even local guys have a hard time getting any nuggets of information. It's a good article, and fun to speculate. But you know, grain of salt, blah blah blah.

    Cool! I didn’t know we were archiving. And as for Montas, yeah I hated it.

    We don't archive threads any more right? It would be fun to read through our reactions at the time of the signing. From memory, I think it was a head scratcher. Like I think I gave Stearns some benefit of the doubt, but questioned the move, and strongly preferred Luis Severino.

    I read this wrong and thought that the majority guy was also from the 21st century. Reading is important.

    BTW, $92.5 million on the Naylor deal. So $18.5M AAV. I think this doesn't really say anything about the market for Alonso.

    Willie Mays looked great for 156 years old! I'll start with Moises Alou.

    It's hard to know what, if anything, Naylor's deal means for Alonso. Especially since we don't know the terms yet. Other than the position they play, Naylor is really different than Alonso. He's a different kind of hitter. Higher average, better contact, but much less power. A lesser hitter overall. But he's 2 and a half years younger, a better defender, and a better base stealer. My guess is that Naylor gets less AAV, more years. Pete gets more AAV, less years.

    Josh Naylor off the board. Goes back to Seattle on a five year deal. I didn’t like Naylor as an option. And that takes Seattle out of the Pete sweepstakes. So I think good result all around. Naylor is 2 years younger than Pete. So 5 year deal makes sense.

    I don't understand the underappreciation of Jeff McNeil. Even with his bad September, his final OPS puts him like top 6 or 7 among 2B in the league. His defense is average. His contract is reasonable. I see no reason not to keep McNeil until someone forces their way into the lineup.

    Funny. I’m in completely the opposite camp. It seems like closers tend to age better than other players. Mariano. Hoffman. Wagner. These guys stayed dominant even late in their careers. Aroldis Chapman was amazing at 37 years old. Kenley Jansen. Rasiel Iglesias. All still good. I’m good with 5 years. Maybe try to give him less money on the back end.

    Why make millions legally when you have a chance to make the thousands illegally

    This is the regime that allowed ads on uniforms and the ridiculous ad on the post season helmets. They were never going to be disciplined enough to turn down the riches of legalized betting.

    How much can they be paid that this is worthwhile? Craziness.

    Yeah, I don't think it's realistic to say that the Mets have set themselves up to be at the top of any standings considering they just finished with 83 wins and missed a 6 team playoff. I get that the farm system looks good, but lots of #1 ranked systems have failed to materialize into wins and certainly championships. The good news is, you don't have to be at the top of the standings. You just need to be near the top. And I think the Mets are well-positioned to be in playoff chases for years with the core they have in place, and the young guys coming of age. Trading a bunch of them for Skubal certainly makes them more likely to make the playoffs this year, and provided he's healthy in October, probably improves their chances of advancing, arguably more than any other player available? Is that worth giving up a bunch of guys who can provide value for 5-6 years? Probably not. It depends on the package, but considering the type of haul it would take to land Skubal, I'd probably think it was too much.
