Love Howie. As much as I would love Soto I just don't see a trade of that magnitude going down within the division.

We shall see.
Stranger things have happened.
Stay tuned......


LOL

Hopefully deGrom it's literally just a matter of needing more warm ups and nothing greater.

I'm really starting to wonder about his overall durability at this point.
Obviously I hope he returns at 100% health wise and I wish him the best..but it's now getting to be very frustrating to say the least.

I think he needs to realize he can't go 100+ all the time. He has good enough stuff that he can dial it back and still be effective. Hopefully he realizes that.

I'm pretty sure he does know that...as do the coaches/rehab staff/medical & training personnel.

It's just a long arduous drawn out process....and the Mets org. doesn't want to jeopardize his future in any way...but like I said it's become very frustrating.
