I had forgotten that Endy'd played for KC.

    Isn't this Cohen tactic where he's paying a significant chunk of Scherzer 's and Verlander's future salaries brilliant? If Cohen doesn't send the money, then the trades don't get made and he's stuck with declining players who he thinks won't help enough in 2024. He'll still have to pay for their 2024 salaries , but with diminishing returns. And no prospects in return. He found value in overpaid, declining old ballplayers.

    Indian Giver Gazzette is pretty amusing. That kind of satire would never fly nowadays some sixty years later. lol.

That kind of satire would never fly nowadays some sixty years later. There was an entire Seinfeld episode on the subjects. You know, back in the 90's when you could make a joke. Tell me about it. One guy here thinks F Troop should be banned. Ohmygod! Think of the children! But he doesn't find Trump offensive. Go figure. Anyways, here's a giant-sized Indians card, channeling that Seinfeld episode. There are about 10 of these cards in the series.

    =batmagadanleadoff post_id=133706 time=1690941276 user_id=68] I blame this all on Peterson and Megill for not panning out. And the WBC. That Diaz injury turned out to have a doozy of a domino effect. Or maybe Cohen inherited a deeply flawed team and Cohen was forced to mask the problems by buying an entire pitching staff. The old guys declined and the only top pitcher here before Cohen (B.C.) left and was breaking down anyways. It could've been even worse. The Mets could've signed Trevor Bauer and then re-signed Jake deGrom. Is Cohen a Mets jinx?

    =nymr83 post_id=133667 time=1690933641 user_id=54] Maybe Eppler was told to paint a bleaker picture to Scherzer so that he WOULD wave his no-trade clause.
  11. batmagadanleadoff
    As it was explained to me today, for luxury tax purposes, any money the Mets send the Astros to pay down Verlander contract is treated identically to having that money on [the Mets] payroll. So if they're sending $54M to HOU as reported, those are taxable payroll dollars for the Mets. I'm surprised that this needs explaining. Why would it be otherwise?

    I dunno. There's lotsa credible buzz that Alonso can be had. McNeil, too. Maybe not by this year's trading deadline, but in the upcoming off-season. I'm skeptical but that's what sources are saying.

    Here's a buck: The Mets have no immediate top of the line pitching coming from their farm system.

    Edgy MD wrote: "Nothing coming in the farm system" is the sort of dime-store prognostication that nobody has ever felt the urge to be accountable for two years later. The 2023 Yankees are at .519, while their 1966 counterparts finished at .440, with the worst record in the American League. Madden is just pandering, doing his best to degrade the Spink Award while he's still active and able to do so. .519 in an era where if you finish over .500, you're practically a lock to make the playoffs.

    You should go and re-read the glowing scouting reports on former Mets prospect Amed Rosario. He was gonna be Honus Wagner. Nobody knows shit.

    Maybe Jake deGrom was right all along and Chris Young's vision was better than the Mets' FO's vision.
