Ugh, should have been in on this guy and to lose him to the Braves. Hate to say it but they're still the team to beat:

I thought we also had Joey Luchessi on the 40?
Anyhow....the FO needs to address that and get another LHP Asap.

That said...and although he's not a lefty, I was pleased to see we finally got rid of Familia the other day.
Baby steps.

I believe Luchessi is out for most if not all of the season. He had Tommy John in June.

Yeah...with all the other stuff going on in MLB, and elsewhere during the last few months, I pretty much forgot about that.
My bad.

It's a great lineup. I think we have a logjam of similarly skilled guys on the bench so I'd like to see us improve there.

Braves signed Kenley Jansen. I hate to say it, I think they're still way better than us.

Meh. Lots of teams look good on paper right now, but I think the Mets are gonna surprise a lot of people at just how really good they are. My only wish is that they stay healthy throughout the year.

This promises to be a very interesting season. Can't wait for opening day.

Welcome back, Howie Rose....




Btw: the Mets won their grapefruit league opener 6-2 over the Nats.

Mets: +13 wins
2021 record: 77-85 | Projected 2022 record: 90-72

Wholesale changes were in order after the Mets finished eight games under .500 in Steve Cohen’s first season as owner. New York has a new manager in Buck Showalter and a new general manager in Billy Eppler, and the club’s roster looks markedly different than it did at the end of last season. Out are Michael Conforto, Marcus Stroman, Javier Báez, Rich Hill, Noah Syndergaard, Jonathan Villar, Kevin Pillar, Brad Hand, Jeurys Familia and Aaron Loup. In are Max Scherzer, Starling Marte, Chris Bassitt, Mark Canha, Eduardo Escobar and Adam Ottavino, giving the Mets one of the most expensive rosters in MLB.

The result? A team FanGraphs projects to post the third-best record in the NL, albeit two games worse than the defending World Series-champion Braves. Despite all of their additions, the Mets’ ability to overtake Atlanta may hinge on what they get from two of their returning stars, Jacob deGrom and Francisco Lindor. deGrom posted a sparkling 1.08 ERA last season, but he dealt with elbow problems and threw just 92 innings. Lindor, meanwhile, missed 37 games and was close to league average with the bat (101 OPS+).
