Are we good with Diaz as closer?And a pen behind it???
I am.Are we good with Diaz as closer?
Ah, well. Looks like the Mets were simply used to raise the price, as usual.Buzz on Twitter is a 3 year deal for 90m and an opt out after year 1 for Trevor Bauer.
It's like they are a different team, in the mix on a lot of solid depth and testing the waters on the bigger pieces. Sure ain't the Wilpons in charge anymore.Read this morning that we are deep in talks with Taijwan Walker.
Would absolutely love that, great stopgap until Thor is back and then a solid #4 with Peterson or Lucchesi as the #5
Thought we had a good, not great offseason (on the field, that is...off the field, we had about the best possible offseson in getting rid of the Wilpons). I would've liked us to have gotten one of the big free agents, especially Springer or Realmuto since they would've filled big holes, but overall we improved the team so I'm happy.
I'm happy with the offseason now that Walker was signed. I would have loved Springer because Nimmo is not a CF and next year's FA class is awful with CFs.Thought we had a good, not great offseason (on the field, that is...off the field, we had about the best possible offseson in getting rid of the Wilpons).

I would think signing Pillar means we're out on JBJ, no?Yeah Springer is where they really screwed up. We're pretty much guaranteed to be playing someone out of position until 2023 at the earliest (unless JBJ's market has cratered and we jump in and sign him).
Pillar could platoon with JBJ in CF if there's a universal DH but that's not looking likely at this point. Both sides want to hold that as leverage and neither side is budgingI would think signing Pillar means we're out on JBJ, no?
If the Wilpons were still owners, I would say yes, but why do we have the richest owner in baseball if we're concerned about the $5 million we gave Kevin Pillar? Just get the best 26 players you can and sort it all out later.I would think signing Pillar means we're out on JBJ, no?
Was just coming to post this. He's playing out his current 1 year deal and they've added 10 more years at $341M. That is an insane amount of money and probably more than he is worth, but it's Cohen's money not mine.Ten more years for Lindor!

We do have a history of being the Boys of Spring.As a lifelong Mets/Jets guy, I am usually pretty good at tempering my expectations.....however, if deGrom spins a real gem and Lindor goes off tonight against the Nats, my expectations are going to jump off the meter.
We know the reality. Let's not mess with the fantasy for today.We do have a history of being the Boys of Spring.
