Figured we could throw everything in here.
Big Sexy and RA in Atlanta next year, bummer.

Hopefully Matt Harvey & Zack Wheeler will both be healthy & ready to step back into the mix.
You have to figure that's the case, which leaves Bartolo as the odd man out. Would have been nice to keep him around for insurance or as a trade chip but what can you do?
No doubt. If healthy a staff of Thor, DeGrom, Harvey, Matz and Wheeler is second to none in baseball. Sure up the bullpen now.
Eight other free agents did not accept the offers from their former teams by Monday's 5 p.m. EST deadline: outfielders Jose Bautista (Toronto), Ian Desmond (Texas), Dexter Fowler (Chicago Cubs) and Mark Trumbo(Baltimore), designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (Toronto); closer Kenley Jansen (Los Angeles Dodgers); and third baseman Justin Turner (Dodgers).
A few more pieces and good health and this is a real legit team.
Since Yoenis Céspedes' joined the Mets, they've averaged 4.6 runs per game with him playing and 4.0 runs per game when he doesn't. His 48 HR in that span are 3rd-most in the NL behind Nolan Arenado (58) and Kris Bryant (51). His hard-hit rate (20.9%) ranks first in the NL in that span.
Since Aug. 1, 2015 Yoenis Cespedes & Chris Carter both hit 48 home runs. One got $110 million today. The other learned he'll get non tendered
Good, see you later Jay.
Btw what's the deal with Wright, will he be back? Is Reyes staying at 3rd?
DW is expected to be back in time for spring training. As far as I know 3B is still his, with the possibility of taking over 1B if Duda or Loney aren't with the team. Jose is allegedly gonna be given lots of starts at 3B, SS, 2B & even some games in the OF...but we'll see how all that plays out..as this team has a knack for saying one thing and suddenly doing another.
My guess is Jose will be back at third by May. I hope things work out for Wright but I'd be surprised if he made it through the season.
