Could very well be. I believe I like it.

This is a topic that will clear more as the off season evolves. I am going to try not to speculate and chill.

We appreciate it. Yelich expressed his winter of discontent as a Marlin. Also catcher J.T.R It would be redundant to get him, but the kid is a natural.

It's funny you should ask. Way back in 2011, before their nice cozy deal with the Mets, the 7 Line became famous for this t-shirt. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that they are fine with the Wilpons now. I don't give a rat about the 7-Line. I and many here precede them. At this point I'd say they have a conflict of interest.. They are serving two masters. It dont work. Bollocks. NOW GET YELICH!

We are the voice of reason. Usually. Stickem up Fred.

He should have some compassion for us and sell an office building and put the proceeds into his baseball team. Boggled? Bah. Yeah, I went pollyanna on that one. lol

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Plus, and this is just my own theory I tell myself, but I think its clear the problem with the ownership isn't that they're evil but that they're stupid, and the main stupid guy is 81 years old. Yeah. And I'm thankful Sandy's smarter, though he's got his share of misses. And if Fred's restraints are Sandy's challenges, I'm certainly going to root for the latter to remain and do his best work within those restraints. I would agree and would say that yes, Sandy has had his misses, but tries and will continue to do the best he can with what he has to work with. I very well understand it will rattle our nerves at times. Fred Wilpon, for me its' a matter of having compassion for someone whose brain and body may very well be boggled.

I disagreed that the team isn't going to do anything this offseason. They are. And I disagreed that they are relying on magic. I don't think disagreeing with that is silly and I don't know why you want to throw down over that. I wasn't even addressing it to you. Look, it takes savvy building, money, a lotta luck (and some magic) to get er done. I dont see much yet. My best guess is the Mets lost bucco money in 2017 and we are now lean. Sandy will try and we shall see. It hurts to see other teams get their xmas gifts while we wait. Patience is a virtue that I struggle with. Be well.

I would just like to see the oye vey taken away.

This is getting frustrating. I'm getting like "Pull the trigger Sandy." It don't come easy.
-
Scratch off Frenando Rodney (Yea!) and Marcell Ozuna (meh)
-
Interweb says Mets and Indians gaining traction on Jason Kipnis. I approve. That is where Matz or Gsellman might go maybe.
-
CF's offer is creative and should be emailed or whatever to Sandy. Yelich reminds me of a young Darin Erstad. Go get him!

Walker wants a 4 year deal. Bejeezuz. Not happening with us.

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic confirms that the Angels' acquisition of Ian Kinsler from the Tigers is a done deal. According to Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press, the Tigers will receive right-hander Wilkel Hernandez and outfielder Troy Montgomery in return. Neither of them are top prospects, so this was mostly about shedding Kinsler's $10 million salary for 2018. In the end, Kinsler waived his no-trade clause to go to the Angels. The 35-year-old is coming off a down season where he batted just .236/.313/.412 with 22 homers over 139 games, but he's still a strong defender and gives the Angels a sizable upgrade at second base. The Angels apparently might not be done, as they also hope to make a move for a third baseman.

He received platelet rich plasma injections in November . Common in Japan. This procedure saved the asses of Chris Sale and Mashiro Tanaka. Scary stuff for a 23 year old in a new country. Can I say maybe the kid is "overrated."? We shall see. Glad for his sake he is on the west coast. I kinda think he may not be mature enough to adapt to everyday life in the northeast.

I feel your pain. A Rodney signing would not surprise me in any way.

Bob Costas will not be in the football HOF. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/nbc-throws-bob-costas-bus-sends-warning-talent-article-1.3625923

I believe in a year end interview Sandy said he pitched a higher payroll to Fred and Jeff for 2017 and the owners agreed. When the season feel apart he felt obligated to get the owners some money back via the late year trades. I would not be willing to assume those "savings" will be used for 2018 payroll. I am guessing they believe they can fix Harvey for one and be creative with what they have. I really do believe the Mets will have a pretty quiet off season with the FA names out there. Good luck.
-
Shaw is a Rockie at 27 million for three years. Fairly priced for an elite 8th inning guy by me.. I have seen speculation that Sandy has been talking to Fernando Rodney's peoples fwiw.
-
I'm getting a Josh Harrison vibe. Don't know why but he may very well be the guy.
-
Someone may be willing to overpay for either Harvey, Wheeler or Matz. Ya Gotta Believe.

True, a Neil Walker type would be a good fit. Is Jose Reyes totally out of the conversation?
