Soto will be fine What happens to Pete is anyone's guess I don't believe Baty will be around to give up the 22

[bIGPURPLE]SOTO[/bIGPURPLE]

I fear the Mets are bidding against themselves Not surprised if the Yankees win this

I have read that Oakland will increase payroll from 30 to 100 million for this season Love Severino! Best wishes

Maybe a well placed the golden shower can extinguish the golden AB Society seems to be totally in on short form reels and videos and jiggy rule changes like this one appeal to the limited attention span of today's youth in much the same way

Yes Montas does seem a bit steep at $34 million I didn't think much of Manaea when he was acquired, injured and ineffective much of the time. To say it worked out well is an understatement Why can't Frankie Montas do the same? You don't know NY Post has connected the Mets with Walker Buehler. He looked dang skippy against the Mets in October You almost need to sign four or five starters and hope mud sticks to a couple via magnet fishing

Do you go "all in" on Soto or go after two Alex Bregman types, or get them all? Farm systems do not pump out generational talent on any consistent schedule that I can see In my eyes the Mets have less than 10 in 62 years Seaver Ryan McGraw Koosman Strawberry Wright Reyes deGrom You can argue the names, but when that special talent becomes available, Soto perhaps, it would behoove yourselves to take an aggressive approach to signing him I'm ok saying Soto is all that and a bag of chips. Personally I find his defense on about the same level as Marte, average-above average but his offensive numbers are on a HOF track and the age 26 season is at hand There is an economic debate to be had on the merits of spending 700 million on a player, in this case Soto, and leaving yourself dry to do much else. It is nice that our owner can on more than but a select few It comes down to Steve Cohen alone. Most people don't want to piss money away and I'm confident neither does Steve He has the resources to explore options most can't. I believe Cohen to be a fan of the annuity style contract that Ohtani signed. He can earn on the dollars eventually to be paid out and lighten his own load Whoever does sign Soto will likely have a similarly structured deal inked Would signing Soto get the Mets over the finish line? I'd just say for everything greatly positive impactful signing there are 10 or more Jason Bays. There are no guarantees

Joey Meneses 1B Nationals and Hubie Harris RP Twins are both newly signed to minor league deals Didn't know that sometimes slugger Joey Meneses is 32. He must have been an older rookie

I'd be happy with Lindor getting a couple of firsts I thought Ohtani was piling up stolen bases for show bear the end of the season

Lindor Iglesias Taylor Bader Severino Nimmo McNeil Alonso Manaea F Alvarez Taylor was a revelation to me anyway

Ichiro only

Japanese company. Not so well known here Advertising deal for them makes sense

Joe McDonald here I know his hands were tied but no one else has something even close to "midnight massacre" attached to their I thought Eppler was unusually clueless. I thought he was filling a spot in advance of Stearns I thought Minaya was largely pretty. I have to admit I don't really understand the consequence of what happened with Adam Rubin Scott was a DUI guy without the conviction. That bothers me The used to call Bill Virdon "style master" I could apply that to Brodie

CBS reported that Soto asked the Mets about player evaluation methods That would have to be Boras as Soto is dumb as a rock Until he becomes a Met

I'm voting for Jimmie Piersall

RJ Anderson of CBS and his crystal ball say Pete gets 4 years for 115, ouch

Good deal for both sides

I'm podcasted out from the election

Get him, now

Only if Pete goes bye bye

Was underwhelming as an Oriole and will want 200 plus million Pass

Nimmo Marte Taylor Winker Bader McNeil Gamel Stewart

The Braves traded Jorge Soler to the Angels for SP Griffin Canning Canning was a finalist for the Gold Glove. Waiting for the Braves to turn him in to a 14 win pitcher
