Marte always seemed happy, good player

I think he's going to have a monster year , seems to have that thing in him

Oh ok, thank you

I'm confused, Brock would not be then taking possession of the CPF , but would be starting a new forum and we go along if we choose ?

I always went to In Game Thread too

Hopefully he's not another one bites the dust

I would like to know this too, with his wine business and his storied career I would think the family are ok , but who knows

David Cone

I'm watching this on MLB Network, it's only the YES feed?

If this is what Brock is offering I'm out, can't be arsed with this, Cowtipper expressed his or her views , many valid IMO. I like what we have here and was thrilled that the CPF was saved , be careful what you wish for with an influx of members

I think the John Oliver bit from last season likely will convince some to go with crazy names John Oliver talks Minor League Baseball team rename/rebrand on Last Week Tonight | MiLB.com https://share.google/o2HKKEHZiVilJ9HTy It was a fun bit though

I'm not sure if those are typos or Irish vernacular. (Just taking the piss!) Haha my fat fingers ,Steal some bases and hit some

Nick Morabito is my pick , looking through the 40.man thread in think he will be a derk horse , steak some bases , hot some The criteria is tight so no clue if Nick fits the mold

Francisco Lindor spoke with @AnthonyDiComo about Steve Cohen's decision to never have a team captain with the Mets: "I respect it. At the end of the day, being named captain or not, I’m still going to act the same. This is not something that’s going to make me somebody different. So I respect it. I’m glad he put everything to bed, so that way we can stop talking about this. And move on. It’s not where they want to go. I respect it, I understand it and I’m on board. It’s just one of those where it’s like, I’m going to focus on baseball. I feel like we’ve got leaders [without] captains and all that stuff. The clubhouse is the clubhouse. Let’s just play baseball, and let’s focus on winning." This should be the last word on this nonsense

So , what's the endgame here anyway? Taking over the forum ? Pumping new life into it?

A heads up would have been good so I don't think it's spam , I'm open-minded now that I know it's a thing Welcome, Brock

Yeah, I would be happy if some former members made their way back here , super-site doesn't hold much appeal for me , this forum has had its ups and downs , but has remained a consistent presence for many of us

The MLBPA bargaining committee (independent of Tony Clark) has been working for two years on the issues. Bargaining is not expected to be delayed . The unions positions will be the same. Bruce Meyer is expected to take the lead and his background is as a litigator not a negotiator and considered hard core in his view and approach. Jim Bowden

Tom. Looking so serious, and I just know Tom did "Saikeirei (最敬礼" at every opportunity

From The Athletic By Evan Drellich, Ken Rosenthal and Andy McCullough Feb. 17, 2026Updated 10:55 am EST In a stunning development in the wake of a federal investigation, Tony Clark is expected to resign from his position as executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, leaving the union scrambling to find a leader heading into a lengthy labor dispute this winter, people briefed on the decision who were not authorized to speak publicly told The Athletic. Clark, his attorney and the MLBPA did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Clark and the MLBPA were supposed to start their annual tour of spring training camps in Arizona on Tuesday. The first stop, a meeting with the Cleveland Guardians, was canceled, which the team found out from the union at 6 a.m. local time. Clark, 53, has headed the union since 2013. Clark and the union have been under federal investigation since last year by the Eastern District of New York regarding using licensing money or equity to enrich themselves. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7052142/2026/02/17/mlpba-tony-clark-resigns/

Steve Cohen said the #Mets will never have a captain during his tenure as owner. "Just my own views on how I want a locker room to be," Cohen said. "Every year the team's different, and let the team kind of figure it out in the locker room rather than have a designation." David Lennon

Steve Cohen says the Mets will never have a team captain as long as he owns the team. Cohen on the decision: "Having a captain in baseball doesn’t happen often – it’s actually unusual. Whataver previous ownership did, that was their way of doing things. I look at things differently.” Mike Puma Good, way too much is made of this

I remember Ruf getting slated , like he was the reason that season sucked or whatever , I guess J.D. Davis being part of that trade didn't help Rick Ankiel all those years ago

The usual buzz words , excited, discipline, playoff tested etc , I think Steve like many of us is hoping for the best with this team , I'm certainly excited for many of the new players
