I love that everybody is finding space for Wilmer Font.

Nice inside-out base hit by 'Lo.

They might, rabbit. And the Mets would walk away with better lefty-righty balance.

There is probably a reasonable argument for an Arenado trade out there. He's a two-way All-Star. He's probably not what he was with the glove, but what he has been has been as good as or better than Schmidt or Robinson, and it's not unreasonable to think he has a few top defensive years ahead. He may be the top defensive thirdbaseman of all-time. But whatever argument can support an Arenado trade, this isn't it. The Mets already have let all the pressure out of Seattle's payroll. I can't applaud a guy who advocates for them to do the same for Colorady. If the Mets are expected to consume his contract, there had better be a tasty-ass side dish. This reads more clicky-baity than anything. The only thing that makes this a worthwhile discussion (third time it's come up this offseason?) is that the Canó trade happened so clearly you can can't consign this from the realm of possibllity.

It's also kind of paradoxical considering the shame and stigma on the whole league because a champion tried to use electronic communications to gain an edge.

The Mets can corner the market on undersized righthanders!

That's a pretty good season to work around an unjust arrest, a drinking problem, and a rehab stint.

Well, I hate trades, but the logic goes that you don't always trade a guy only if you've got better players available at his position. Sometimes you make the trade because you think you'll improve in one area more than you'll regress in another.

Reyes also found the time to father a child on the side and keep it secret from his wife and four other kids until the girlfriend took him to court when the secret payments arrangement didn't work out. And they never, ever do. Trust me on this.

But enough about Michael Cuddyer.

I liked that string of adjectives, because it exactly gave the flavor of an interview with Lipton, which was often an exercise in vocabulary expansion and gently anti-populist pronunciation choices. That's some good obitting.

https://twitter.com/Mets/status/1234860026193416195 I guess the first eight here is as good a peek as any at what Luis Rojas' opening day lineup is going to look like — at least, what it's going to look like if Céspedes isn't ready..

The New York Post (Puma and Davidoff playing tag-team) reports that The New York Yankees have expressed interest in Mets lefthander Steven Matz. While the Mets have more rotation depth than the Yankees, that's the sort of thing that can go to shit overnight, so it's a place most teams want to be very careful about trading from. The Mets have no outright holes in the lineup right now, so there are no obvious matches, but obviously no place is beyond upgrading. Gary Sanchez could work, or maybe they mostly need some future considerations. Alternatively, they could rope in a third team so whichever player(s) the Mets get back won't arrive with all those pompous, sycophantic, unctuous, oleaginous, and obsequious Yankee qualities.

Ervin Santana's actual first name is Johan. He just pulled "Ervin" out of his ass to avoid being confused with some other guy.

Spring training has a way of kicking you in the nuts when guys that you had no idea were part of the organization start appearing in games. That's why you need a roster update blog! The return of Terdoslavich is most curious. He has traditionally been an outfielder, but he played third last season, so we're databasing him over there with the infielders, but I've got to think his biggest immediate threat is to knock Tim Tebow out of Syracuse. As an infielder, he also interferes with the notion that a promotion out of Binghamton for top prospect Andrés Gimenez is an automatic. It's not! We are still working on constructing the http://companion.thecranepool.net/Crane Pool Companion site, but are mostly up to date with the rosters, and invite your feedback.

Sorry, I'm conflating. I clearly meant Edwinuardo.

I've got to think Edwin Nuñez was about them going a little big on veteran utility infield depth, under concern that Lowrie may not be able to contribute.

Jank Mejia, man. Jow soon they forget.

Michael Conforto socks one into the wind and onto the berm to make it Mets 3, World Champs 0.
