The way I look at it is Verlander isn't replacing deGrom because deGrom wasn't really here last season. Walker is gone so let's say Verlander replaces those starts. If Bassit is gone someone needs to replace those starts.

Did you happen to catch my post about Rodon on the previous page?

Would love Rodon but he'll likely cost a fortune. I would be intrigued having 2 lefties in the rotation.

Yeah that would be amazing.....not holding my breath though.

I don';t even think Mr. Cohen could afford that contract. Every dollar spent above the highest luxury tax threshold actually costs the team $1.95.
Not sure the Mets are done, but they may have other needs besides the rotation.
As I said, I am impressed with how they tightened up their team.

Not that it's a ton but I could also see them moving pieces like Ruf or McCann which alleviates some of it.

Looks like Senga will be a Met.

Unbelievable. Rotation looks solid.

Bullpen is good (I'd still bring back Ottaviano).

Lineup is essentially the same as last year with the hope that the young guys pull through. Still wouldn't mind an upgrade at DH but I suppose a bat could always be acquired vis trade.

I mean this is crazy talk

In Praise of Uncle Steve.....and Billy Eppler too.

Mets keep getting better, one signing at a time

Suddenly, the biggest player in baseball isn’t the slugger who hit 62 home runs, or ace pitchers or shortstops -- either the ones like Trea Turner and Xander Bogaerts who have signed big contracts, or the ones like Carlos Correa and Dansby Swanson waiting to sign them. The biggest player

The great thing also is a bunch of money comes off the books the next 2-3 years. Not too many long term commitments at the moment so even though our payroll is crazy high we still have flexibility.

So long and thanks, CB.

Well the Correa pipedream was short lived, probably a good thing in terms of long term flexibility/fit for this team.

Meh....I didn't want him....plus it was never gonna happen anyway.

Also saw how Lindor acted when his other buddy Javy Baez showed up. Combine that with the fact we have Vientos, Baty and Mauricio all trying to squeeze in at third already.
