I'm not into gambling, and don't think I have ever been to a casino, but I'm looking forward to seeing what this becomes, public transportation will be key

Here we go Field Operations Mets owner Steve Cohen’s quest to land a casino has paid off, as Cohen and Hard Rock International were awarded a N.Y. downstate casino license by the NYS Gaming Facility Location Board on Monday. The $8.1B Metropolitan Park project adjacent to Citi Field is projected to be finished in June 2030. Metropolitan Park, on 50 acres of Citi Field parking lots, will include a Hard Rock Hotel with a casino, sportsbook, restaurants, bars, a 5,650-seat music venue and a Taste of Queens Food Hall. It will also create 25 acres of public green space, 23,000 union jobs, $1B in community benefits and infrastructure improvements including a revamped, ADA-accessible 7-line train station.

This guy has the funky delivery?

Lindor likes fashion, Soto is all business apparently

There is a lot of talk emanating out of San Diego about the Padres and Mets discussing a Lindor trade

Could be a spot for unintentional Mets , like Mike Glavine

I couldn't imagine going to a different Mets forum

Thank you for the transparency, and honestly I feel a little ****** complaining about how much I would miss the CPF and not taking enough account of the work it takes to keep things running

Robinson Cano

I hate to be a downer, but this forum may not survive that long. There's that 😂

Curious to see if Skenes will still be there by then

Gosh darn it, I'll miss him, a hustler who's game changed over the years , I'll miss his positivity

Gotta say the more I read about Semien the more I like him, numbers aside he's got some edge and bite in him

I'll miss Nimmo , gotta be some free agents for that outfield spot , Stearns looking at Bellinger maybe ?

Ottovino is a zero , bedside manner?

I agree , seems like a lot..... I know Ronnie struggled, but I feel he's got huge upside , but he needs to play daily either with the Mets or elsewhere

Look, it's Jim Bowden so there's that , but here are some trade proposals Detroit Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris has told teams he expects Tarik Skubal to pitch for Detroit in 2026, but that hasn’t stopped him from listening on the two-time Cy Young Award winner. Detroit clearly prefers to retain Skubal and have already made him an extension offer, but it wasn’t even in the ballpark for what Skubal and his representative Scott Boras would be willing to accept. Skubal and his camp are now waiting for the Tigers to make another, much bigger offer. Surpassing Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s record-breaking 12-year, $325 million deal from the Dodgers would be a starting point, as Skubal and his team would be looking for even more than that. Here's him on the Mets New York Mets Potential trade return: RHP Jonah Tong, RHP Brandon Sproat, INF/OF Jett Williams and INF/DH Ronny Mauricio The Mets’ rotation really struggled last season, finishing 18th in MLB in starter’s ERA, and has several openings as the offseason begins. They need an ace and have the resources to sign Skubal long-term if they can trade for him. They certainly can offer an enticing package, led by two of their top pitching prospects in Tong and Sproat. Tong was one of the talks of the minor leagues this season, breaking out with a 1.43 ERA and 179 strikeouts in 113 2/3 innings between Double A and Triple A. He struggled in his five starts in the major leagues but that didn’t dull his prospect shine much. Sproat was the Mets’ 2023 second-round pick and he’s struck out 244 in 237 1/3 innings in his first two minor-league seasons, the second of which was spent in Triple A. He also made his major-league debut in September. Both Tong and Sproat offer upside and could slot immediately into the Tigers’ rotation. Williams, the Mets’ 2022 first-round pick, had a big bounce-back season in 2025 after missing much of the 2024 season with injuries. He is a dynamic up-the-middle athlete who would give the Tigers another versatile player who can play anywhere but first base and catcher. Williams is only 5-foot-7 but he has hit for some power in the minors, has above-average speed and can work a walk. Finally, the Mets could finish the deal with switch-hitter Ronny Mauricio. He’s never lived up to his immense potential but continues to show flashes thanks to his plus power and strong arm. His inability to get on-base and his high chase rates scream he needs more plate discipline, which could be helped by a change of scenery and new coaching voices. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6815157/2025/11/20/tarik-skubal-trade-scenarios-tigers-dodgers-yankees-mets-mariners-red-sox/

Heat score of 84 and you spend $85K a year on IT , wow

Obviously I never heard of him, but was curious, from a local CBS affiliate He played with the Dodgers and Mets for parts of four seasons. Shirley then worked with the MLB Players' Association to try and get his lifetime pension after the league changed the policy in 1980, but ultimately was not made retroactive to former players. Shirley was recognized by the Corpus Christi Hooks with the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009 and he also served as a longtime usher at Whataburger Field. He was 85-years-old.
