    Do mets v yankees games always sell out or is it possible to get tickets, assuming crowds are allowed back

    Depending how many fans are actually allowed this year will be the main question. Normally, you can get tickets off stubhub very easily but who knows how that will work this time around.

    Thanks for the info, i was thinking of visiting New York and hoping to do a yankees game along with a jets game, but the way things are at the minute it might not happen

    Im not crazy about Jackie Bradley Jr. He can’t hit. There’s gotta be another option?

    Brett Gardner for a year is possible (just pointing it out, I wouldn't do it). Lorenzo Cain is supposedly available from Milwaukee, although he was bad in 2019 and sat out 2020.

    A problem for the Mets is that it still hasn't been announced whether there is going to be a DH in the NL. If there is, that means Dom Smith won't need to play LF, allowing Nimmo to move there; if there isn't, the outfield is more crowded while also being worse defensively. The Mets have to be rooting hard for a DH so they can play Smith and Alonso at the same time. Either way, Alonso has to get better against lefthanded pitching - he should be crushing it, and he was terrible against it in 2020.

    assuming normal conditions, there is no such thing as sold out in modern times, there is only market price. Mets and Yankees sell retail tickets at dynamic prices which will roughly be the same as the secondary market

    Good luck to Davey. In 1973, the Braves had three players who hit at least 40 home runs - the late Hank Aaron (40), Darrell Evans (41), and .... Davey Johnson (43). It was the only season he even reached 20.

    Heard yesterday on local radio that the Mets and Bauer are close to a deal?

    It used to be a super-hot ticket....we have season tickets and we'd sell them and get 2-3x face value.

    Last few years, it's been overplayed. You're lucky if you get face value.

    He’s not worth the crazy money he’s supposedly seeking, especially with Lindor & Conforto needing deals. I know people will say they have the $ for all 3 but they have to be smart.

    I don't believe at all that the Mets need to worry about money right now - there's no salary cap, so it is literally just money. Cohen's #1 job was to get rid of the Wilpon stench immediately, and that is what he is doing. This isn't sustainable indefinitely, but the Mets should do everything they can to get to, and win, a World Series in the next few years. I said earlier that my concerns about Bauer had to do with what a jerk he seems to be (and how that might affect the team), not the money. Of course, it's not my money!

    Having said that, if they do have a budget, they certainly should be taking into account the contracts coming next year

    So no one made it into the HOF this year... Schilling was short by roughly 15 votes. Bonds, Schilling, and Clemens all have 1 year left on the ballot. Schilling should get in regardless of his political views. I don't think Bonds or Clemens will get in, even though I think they should.

    Brodie is back in the news, being named COO of Roc Nation Sports. Among their clients? Cano, of course, but also Dom Smith (and Kyrie Irving, LaMelo Ball, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Saquon Barkley).
