Why would any adult ever get enthused over these kinds of pressers? It's always the same shit. Great city. Great fans. Great owners. We're gonna get better.

Is this true? Topps and Fanatics are spreading those rumors. Because they've got nothing like this on the market: 2019 Typewriter Chewing Gum Total Mets Team Set - Code Name: Holy Curt Gowdy!

I dunno. I think Alderson and whoever else is there making decisions were able to decide how hard and with how much to pursue Syndergaard. Whether that turns out to be the best decision is a whole 'nuther thing. And that's all mostly luck anyways. When you get down to it, everything is mostly luck and nobody knows shit. But the idea that the Mets are inert right now just because they haven't signed a new GM yet is overblown. Alderson probably knows Syndergaard just about better than any other exec in all of baseball.

The only Met ever to be featured on the cover of The New Yorker magazine. [FIMG=444]https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/fd4AAOSw3h1ZTAUo/s-l1600.jpg[/FIMG]

How does anyone know for sure that the Mets drove Syndergaard away? Maybe this all played out exactly how the Mets were hoping it would play out. Maybe the Mets preferred the draft pick over Syndergaard -- years of relatively cheap controllable talent over a guy pushing 30 with oodles and oodles of questionmarks yet poised to make about $20M a year.

2018 Typewriter Chewing Gum Total Mets team set - Code Name: Puppet, Pauper, Poet, Pawn, King. [FIMG=488]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51688000305_b238cf9b06_b.jpg[/FIMG] This was probably my favorite card in this whole set. But because of covid, I don't think it has aged well.

If you had to pick which pitcher would have the best future career when this card was made, deGrom would've gotten the least number of votes. [FIMG=555]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51687096641_97900a8730_b.jpg[/FIMG]

https://franchisesports.co.uk/mlb-compensation-picks-explained/https://franchisesports.co.uk/mlb-compensation-picks-explained/ If a team extends a QO to a player and he turns it down that team gets a bonus pick to compensate it for the loss of a player who did not accept the QO. It can be looked at as a restriction on free agency. There's more in the text portions from last year's draft page: https://www.mlb.com/draft/2021/orderhttps://www.mlb.com/draft/2021/order Is this post in response to anything I've been posting or asking on this topic? Because if it is, it's not really addressing any of the issues I've been raising. And if it isn't intended to be a response to any of my posts, my apologies.

That's how I thought it worked.But teams know that going in when they make QO's because those are the rules. So then I'll revert back to my older post. Whaddayouse want? For the Mets to be awarded an extra draft pick for signing Syndergaard? Youse are griping because that's not happening?

=bmfc1 post_id=81244 time=1637168526 user_id=73] The Mets gained a pick that wouldn't have existed if Noah stayed with the Mets.
