I wonder how I will feel watching the games. But right now I’m terrified of McLean getting hurt. I’d be fine with him pitching well in one game then the US getting eliminated before he has to pitch again. you know he'd pitch in Spring Training too. I fear the postgame celebrations. That's where our guys get injured more severely.

I can't even imagine how long this takes to build. Thank you for the effort!

I'm a Big Hall kind of guy. Leave them all in and celebrate their success. Also, it's nice to be able to say nice things about Gary Carter again.

You are absolutely talking circles. I'm all in on making the move if the mods are ready to turn over those reigns. Since this forum can be mothballed and come out of mothballs if people don't like the other place, there's really no risk. And, really, we need to stop taking swipes at Brock. All he did was express interest and make an offer. Edgy and Ben, make the call and I'll support whichever way you decide.

MAX!

A poll would be about as impactful as a poll asking who the Mets should play in right field. It's not our call. I trust Edgy to make a good decision and will go wherever the forum goes. Thank you to all who keep the lights on.

I had no idea Kenley Jansen was that high up on the all-time list.

I don't see a reason to be suspicious.

Interestingly, three Milwaukee pitchers that were in the 2024 wild card deciding game are now on the Mets. Peralta and Myers were in there before Williams. I think this was a great addition. I've heard people compare him to Trevor Williams, who was a valuable part for a bit. He's long-term controllable and has a minor league option?

For sure. I'm not saying all of those players in a five-for-one deal. But some of them.

Forget about Framber Valdez. He's had to circulate videos telling clubs he's not a bad clubhouse presence. I'm still curious if they are working on a Skubal deal! They could still build a package from a group that includes Baty, Tong, Vientos, Peterson, Senga. Imagine a rotation of Skubal, Peralta, McLean, Manaea, Holmes.

What, did the Dodgers not want Bichette, too?

Use that $60 million for Tarik Skubal next year. Trade for Jarren Duran, who is not Tucker, but can play center. Benge gets his shot in left. Throw some money at Valdez.

He also might not want to live in Canada, which might help us. What's interesting about these dollar amounts being bandied about is that the current Mets leadership does. not. leak. So if these numbers are getting out there, it's not likely the Mets leaking them. If the numbers are coming from Tucker's folks, they might be using the Mets to raise the price for the Jays and Dodgers.

The thing with Lindor and McNeill, in wondering if that's unusual. Would we see teammates getting frustrated with each other after bad plays in most clubhouses?
