The Reds might wish he were as good as Mark Canha.

That is beautiful. Meanwhile, there is no vacation for Steve Gelbs: [YOUTUBE]Sx7FUupb8uE[/YOUTUBE]

Yup©, I thought the exact same thing hahaha... You're thinking about my impending doom too?! Good God, I am decrepit. Yesterday afternoon, I went outside to fix my back yard gate, and I'm out there, bending into the corner, ratchet-wrenching away, changing bolts and re-hanging the gate, thinking I'm a badass, and the neighbor lady and her busybody grade-school daughter came over because they saw me crouched over in the corner of the yard and thought I had died.

There is this problem with latter-day fields — the drainage design is such that when a fielder goes into a hard slide on the grass, they can create a divot not with their spikes but with thier knee, and really end up risking injury as their slide locks up and turns into a tumble. McNeil — as both an infielder and an outfielder — created a lot of these knee divots.

Keith praised his "athleticism" and it was there, but it was less there in traditional decathalon skills like speed and strenth and ups and cuts and acceration, but rather in reaction time, hand-eye coordination, and a gritty willingness (almost a desire) to give up his body. There was an athlete's creativity under pressure there, too. [YOUTUBE]IHZRMcuslxo[/YOUTUBE]

For what it is worth, guys don't tend to make prospect lists after 15 innings of DSL ball*. Cuban teenagers are a mystery to begin with. He may (probably) turn out to be no great shakes, but prospect watchers have not gotten a chance to see him/place him in much of a useful context/build any consensus around him. But the Mets may well have scouted him and been crazy about him. I am suspicious of any pitcher who is already primarily a reliever at 17, but I realize that there is a good chance I am dead before he reaches the majors (assuming he does). * This is less true of position players, for various reasons.

I confess that it is largely a mystery to me how these trades work. This very same Mets organization sent Max Scherzer to Texas with a whole baggage cart full of suitcases — containing $35 million-plus in American currency — for Luisangel Acuna (I cannot figure out the tilde shortcut on my new keyboard). I like Luisangel Acuna (apologies again for the tilde thing), but I cannot think of a scenario where a team pays $35 million for his contract, let alone sending a Hall of Fame pitcher along in the bargain.

I agree. I am not endorsing the McNeil trade, so much as trying to understand the general outline of the organizational plan, as this thread asks. I think, however moving McNeil fits into their broader designs, the primary motivation of it may well be about turning the page on reported clubhouse rivalries. It is also possible that seeing his contemporaries being swept out of the organization prompted him to request a deal. Maybe the added benefit is helping getting under stupid luxury tax threshholds (does the money they send to Oakland count against their salary figures?) — that the owner can afford but still penalize the team as they try to recruit amateur players. That is three maybes. A fourth maybe is that maybe the trade is motivated a bit of all of those maybes. smg above has a fifth maybe of his own.

The Pirates have shaken things up, acquiring power-hitting secondbaseman Brandon Lowe from the Rays. Fangraphs has more confidence of his lefthanded bat being in the lineup against David Peterson than they do in Oneil Cruz getting the call. The Mets have shaken things up too, but in the other direction. Jeff McNeil's banishment allows Mark Vientos to put a glove back on and Jared Young to pick up his bat again.

I don't think Polanco and Semien are blocking anybody's path. Preparing the way for coming talent does not mean they clear the roster of existing talent and turn the team over to debutantes. Sometimes, it just means avoiding entrenched commitments. Talent usually emerges on its own unpredictable schedule, and you need MLB players holding down positions until then, and I suspect they want players who are easy to move to another position or move on from entirely (contracts of two years or fewer) if and when somebody steps up. I think they want the organization to be nimble.

He is instead taking on the Jeff McNeil role of the infielder playing left because there is no room in the infield. He practically becomes Jeff McNeil, as he also takes on the role of the unlikely second-best outfielder on the team. The move does create a position, for the time being anyhow, for Mark Vientos.

One of the reddest asses in Mets history, his exile will statistically reduce the statewide public usage of dated profanities like Titty****s! and sometimes weird constructions like Ballscabs! He will also be forever associated in Mets history for me with lefthanded-batting/righthanded-chucking contact hitters Dave Magadan and Daniel Murphy, guys who never stuck at a position, but exhibited a versatility the Mets too often treated that as a bug, rather than an asset. (You can throw Wayne Garrett in there also, though the Mets struggled to accept Garrett's offense, rather than his defense.) As a specific memory, I remember him ending a long slump by suddenly coming alive in Oracle Park, tearing everything to the wall and over in right and right center, and coming within two or three feet of parking one in McCovey Cove. That said, I always like the .320-hitting guy who drove it the other way more than the .265-hitting pull-power guy. And with that said, I will hardly be shocked if he somehow melds them both in 2026 and becomes an MVP candidate.

Seems like a house is being cleaned. McNeil had no role, except he slotted comfortably and willingly into every role. Batted in every spot in the lineup, and defended at every spot on the field.

Jakson Reetz had expanded his portfolio over his career and become a solid outfielder in addition to catching. One might speculate that his catching defense had fallen off as his outfield acuity sharpened, but what kept him from getting a crack on the roster was his three-true-outcome profile, landing him a pretty good OPS but with a sub-.200 batting average. The world has enough of those guys.

Steve Reed may belong on the list of All-Time Best Relievers Who Never Got to Close. It isn't immediate obvious, because he (a) came up kind of late and ( spent more than half of his career pitching for Colorado, but he was a brick, year in and year out.

And it's not like Yhoiker Fajardo and Blake Aita are bad names. And please tell me that Blake Aita's nickname is Am I the *******?

I will be honest. I did not do much more than passing perusal of the Luis Robert, Jr. content floating by. It seemed that the Sox were "looking for pitching," and I just assumed that Manaea's name would be further down. (These AI articles seem aggressively programmed to bury the lede and therefore keep eyes on the page as long as possible.) It seemed like the type of deal that would be on the table. Robert is mainly a good acquisition only in the context that if he doesn't go crashing through his floor (like Jose Siri and Cedric Mullins did), he can add modest MLB-quality stability in center until the guy they really want — possibly Jett Williams — is ready. But right now, that's kind of who Sean Manaea is — the guy who can add to modest MLB-quality stability to a rotation spot until the guy they really want — possibly Jonah Tong — is ready. If he doesn't go crashing through his floor. Again. So, such a trade may not swap problems, so much as it perhaps swaps sub-optimal solutions. It would leave a gap elsewhere, while not necessarily solving a problem, but that is not necessarily a gap that cannot be otherwise filled. King Ralph used to say that this is why trades are made — different organizations having different assessments of talent. Maybe (if this is even the trade on the table), the Mets think that Robert is a better comeback candidate than Manaea. Or a better candidate to provide modest stability, anyhow. I dunno, but I haven't seen the inside of Sean Manea's arm recently.

I am 27 years old, and in my time, I have had one good and one very good year. But I have stunk it up the last two years, and the Sox, fresh off of landing a big, slugging Japanese firstbaseman, are thinking about maybe it is a good time to move me. The Sox want pitching, and the Mets may be as hot to unload Sean Manaea as the Sox are to move me, so the matchup may be right even if the personnel aren't so enticing. For my part, I know what it is like to lose 100 games, and I am a rare bird who knows what it is like to lose 120, so don't say I wouldn't bring something to the table. I WOULD! At some point, you fans have to believe your GM or president or whatever knows something that you don't, but that don't make him right. It sure didn't make him right about centerfield last year, starting with Jose Siri and finishing with Cedric Mullins, and not a lot of tasty layers in between. BUT THAT WOULDN'T MAKE HIM NECESSARILY WRONG IF HE WENT AND GOT THIS CUBAN CENTERFIELD GUY! It probably kind of makes him more likely to be wrong, sure, but hey, either way, you might want to talk about me!

I think there should be a Hunter Dobbins included in every trade. By law.

He was the best pitcher in the minors last season, out of over 3,500 dudes.

Also, Tong, Sproat, and McLean as a trio of elf helpers is a nice, subtle touch.

The Mets will be the home team. The lineup card above honors the tradition of always putting the home team second.
