Mets Regular Season thread

Apparently, the Mets are finalizing a 1-year deal with Luis Severino. Yippee!

 

Low risk, high reward. Could be a solid #4/5, not really any risk here.

 

Was it Severino who put the pine tar on his neck?

 

michael pineda i believe. globs of it

 

Oh yeah, thx! What a boob.

Hopefully, LS will payoff, at least he's not pushing 40.

 

The Mariners have given up on Kelenic, and traded him to the Braves. Even with Cano, and Diaz missing the 2023 season, the trade has on balance worked out better for the Mets than for the Mariners.

Great, he'll blossom with the Braves just to eff with the Mets.

 

Happy 29th birthday, Pete the Polar Bear. Wonder who he'll be playing for in 2025?

 

The Mets


(I hope)

 

I didn't realize there was a Mets thread in here. Just what I need, spend a lot of time whining about them too. Awesome.

 

Damn, Ronny Mauricio tore his ACL.

Terrible news for the Mets. Baty and Vientos will get all the chances they need, I guess, unless Stearns has less faith in them than he was saying.

 

This team has the worst luck.

 

I read an article somewhere that the Mets were interested in Vlad Guerrero Jr. He's arb eligible for the next 2 years so Toronto will want a lot. I get that he's 5 years younger than Alonso but he's way too much of a free swinger, although he doesn't strike out as much as Alonso he does have a LOT of terrible AB's still at this stage. Alonso has turned into a nice defensive player, his biggest knock is that he's basically a Schwarber clone with a better glove. He struggled to get to 20 2b's this year. He needs to be in the 35-45 range to be a more complete hitter. It will be interesting to see what they do.

 

Really don't think this team gets Yamamoto and ends up going after Snell

 

It will be very surprising (to me, anyway) if Yamamoto doesn't sign with the Dodgers.

 

Scherzer has back surgery (herniated disk), and is out until at least midseason 2024. What a joke of a contract that was. DeGrom isn't scheduled to be back until mid-2024 either.

Wonder what other injury prone pitchers we can pawn off on the Rangers.

 

Steve Phillips of MLB Network says that if Yamamoto comes to NY, it will be with the Mets

Not really sure how much I buy into this report considering he worked for the team, but we'll see

 

Can anyone clue me in on why the Brewers would trade a starting pitcher for an injured minor league pitcher?

I don't get it, but I'm but a huge baseball guy.
