Front Office....

It's a done deal....
The Mets and pitcher Chris Bassitt agreed on a one-year, $8.8 million contract with a mutual option for a 2023. The agreement avoided an arbitration hearing that would have taken place Monday.
Bassitt, acquired from Oakland on March 12, is 4-2 with a 2.77 ERA in eight starts. He said he is glad to get the deal done.
"I didn't want to go to trial," Bassitt said after the first game on Saturday in Denver. "I like everyone here. I think we have a really great relationship here and just why even remotely try to mess with that. We have such a special group that I don't want to really be a distraction and hurt that in any way."

Despite injuries to the rotation Bassitt thinks the team has a chance to win.
"We have a real chance to win a World Series and that's all I've been thinking about, just what it kind of takes to put our team in the best spot to do that," he said.
