OT: MLB Thread 2024

Mets may as well just bring back Pete, Winker and Iglesias now that Manaea is back in the fold. Best team in baseball after May + Soto & Senga. Why not?

If you had a team with the Yankees pitching staff and the Mets lineup, I'm still not convinced that team beats the Dodgers.

you'd get 47.69 WAR projected between the two which would be lower than LA's 49.77, so probably not.

If the Mets don't bring back Pete then the off-season does not look as great. Who's protecting Soto in the lineup? We can bs ourselves, but Pete brings the thunder and the threat to that lineup. Soto will be great regardless, but Soto with Pete behind him changes things.

Do you think they can get Alonzo for only 100 after Soto for 775?

spelling is hard

If Vientos can build on last season, he could be a force. That being said, it was one year.

Lindor, Vientos, Soto, Nimmo...Not necessarily in that order but I can see why Pete makes this look better. Hopefully Nimmo can up his game a bit.

Respectfully if you spent 700m on Soto you should not be going into the season hoping vientos can replace your loudest hitter and fill that thunder spot on the lineup. You'd want him available to lengthen the lineup.

The Fried signing was idiotic. In the last 5 seasons he's had 2 seasons of 14 and 11 starts.

the 11 starts were in the COVID shortened season

pete was exceptionally weak in big spots last year up until one very memorable and important 9th inning AB against the new star Yankees closer. not to mention he has the yips throwing to pitchers covering 1st. not something Gerritt Cole has to worry about...
