In Nido's defense, while he sucks, he's an eighth round pick that the Mets developed for five years. He's actually the second-longest tenured Met behind Nimmo.

I’d love that but it’s gonna take him longer to learn the position that’s passable at a major league level. He’s not a defensive savant.
Really f***ing cool to see Joey Lucchesi not pitch for basically two years and then come back to do that.

This is a bad hockey team.
The Yankees offense is a big problem. I feel like they could play a 20 inning game and struggle to get double digit hits.

1 of 2 deals for NYY
Baumgartner is toast. something like 10.25 era
owed what 30m?
Hicks similar $
Donaldson less $$ and term, but still deadweight
Arguably Hicks/Donaldson more productive than Baum
[even if close to auto out, that is still better than a guy giving up runs]
--- IKF also surplus but ok
Hicks full pop + Donaldson at 2/3s + IKF
for
Baumgartner + a cheap prospect
not much either way
ny sends baum to AAA before presum buying him out
creates space on roster, both OF + INF

2 of 2 deals for NYY
[In deal 1 Hicks, Donaldson + IKF were dumped for dead armed Baumgartner.]
forget Trout, Ohtani, etc
Orioles C Adley Rutschman is the real deal.
Like potentially Johnny Bench good, just started his career.
Would require at in signif if not massive overpayment, but if I go there if it is in the currency I am willing to part with.
this is at least borderline massive, imo + O's see it is so much added they do it:
high end OF prospects Cabrera + Periera
high end C Trevino
high end 2B Torres
mid ++ pitcher Severino
high end prospect -.> good enough to stick w/the club Germain
for
Rutschman
2 prospects or draft picks
Like I said, O's get a lot to use/leverage
Yanks:
add a core backstop
resolve excess INF,
Lemahieu = reg 3B, Peraza = reg SS, Volep = reg 2B
small wince on loss of quality OFs, but still have Judge for some CF and corner OF.
If we want Stanton to play position w/some DH, this creates room
theoretically we have Bader
Florial has never cut it but has all the tools
Can give him relief for def purposes, hope lightning strikes in a bottle upping his value, and he is dealt, but again, covers immediate depth need and is better than Hicks
Cordero/Calhoun are vet depth prob just for this yr and the above gives them the odd game or 2 to play the field and stretch their legs
Jason Dominguez may challenge as early as next year, but even if he takes a little bit more and is not rushed, he is a higher end prospect.
Spencer Jones is a Judge sized top selection now at A ball another one here in coupla yrs
ny's top C prospect is Austin Wells, 100% big league bat, not 100% def maj-leag C.
When Wells is ready to challenge as first backup backstop, not having to start may be helpful. And 2 higher end OFs getting dealt also works here.
That leaves pitching.
Yes, it's a coupla arms less but it is still overall worth it.
We have enuf arms to compete until 2-3 guys emerge.
Thoughts?

Dat's da Wizzard of Ahhhsssss.
Say it ain't so!
The next time I emphasize youth over vets, basically but not exclusively to be ahead of cap so as to better manage roster, I would appreciate somebody remembering this.
I will give him credit, he hung in there. I mean obviously a bad start by any measure but at least he was able to go 5 innings. He needs to be a lot better though or else he'll be the odd man out when/if the Mets get healthy.
Is it just me or after every game when i see the Mets relievers in the box score i go “who the f*** is that?”
Like these names are pulled out of a hat. Ive never heard of half our relievers apparently .

It's almost like having a whole line-up of guys who hit .220 is a bad idea.

They can't even beat the Twins anymore. This is just a replacement level team.
They weren't that great last year and they did absolutely f*** all to improve.
The front office is completely neglecting this team.

The definition of stupidity is..
This is the same exact strategy offense Cashman has put out for the past decade. A bunch of HR or nothing guys who can’t hit for average. This was the same thing last year and when you just resign Judge and sign a 1.5 year wonder injury prone SP in Rodon and call your off-season job done, what do you expect? The only difference between now and last season is Judge carried the offense and likely won’t replicate his performance this year making the lineup even worse.

The GM is a fraud who has been completely exposed.
