[Bob Richards]

Figured I’d start a fresh clean thread with less than enjoyable news.

With Kodai’s injury:

The Mets are just so... Metsy all the time. I don't have any other words for it.

With Kodai’s injury:

This was always looking to be a shit year to reset and then start going again next year. by mid season as they fall out of it they will prob look to unload guys like marte and mcneil and turn the page for next year. the X factor to everything is pete and if that gets done or not.

 

[Kane One]

Yeah this was clearly going to be a wash year so I don’t really care. I just want to see the prospects.

In other news from the land of the giants, Spencer Jones hit a 470 ft homer in the Yankees spring training opener

A lefty power hitter in Yankee Stadium. What a concept.

Looks like Cashman’s finally made the correction

Monsterous

He stole 43 bags last year too.

Incredible athlete.

 

[Crease]

If Mets tickets aren’t $10 a game…

 

[E-Train]

He stole 43 bags last year too.

Incredible athlete.

Was a great pick. Get the K rate to 25% or below and we have another superstar

 

[CTTribe73]

I don't care if the Yankees lose every single ST game from here on out just please, please, PLEASE stay healthy.

 

[Machinehead]

I also have less than enjoyable news: I still root for the Yankees.

 

[LeetchisGod]

I also have less than enjoyable news: I still root for the Yankees.

At this point I just want to see the young players develop. I have lowered expectations.

Who do you think should get in the 2025 HoF? (Ignoring PEDs) my 5 most deserving are:

A-Rod
Ichiro
Manny Ramirez
Pettitte
Sabathia

Decades ago it was so unusual for a Yankee to become a Met but it seems to happening much more often now. Sevy, Bader, Granderson, relief pitcher whose name escapes me.

At this point I just want to see the young players develop. I have lowered expectations.

Yanks rotation could be decent if guys live up to their past but many haven't besides Cole. Did Snell sign any where yet?

 

[Ben Grimm]

... Did Snell sign any where yet?

No

 

[NickyFotiu]

No

Bring him in. Id like to win one more time. I have been spoiled with World Series since 77.

No, but I could see Snell being another disappointment if he signed here. So many guys can't handle NY.

Phillies, Zack Wheeler agree to historic 3-year, $126M extension

This deal will pay Wheeler $42 million per year, the highest average annual value for a contract extension in MLB history.

Letting Wheeler walk might be the most aggravating Mets move in my entire time as a fan.

Winter 2025: Could the Mets and Yankees be competing for Bregman and Soto?

Bregman maybe the Yanks will keep Soto if he’s as advertised
