Reddit and twitter level discourse. Cya guys whenever the business of baseball starts again. Oof.

bro he's the starting RF!

I mean, if you want to b**** about allocation of resources you can start and end with the bullpen. Paying your primary backup at CF and SS 5.5 million per is not the place to start.

Good deal, that is a very club friendly AAV. Frankly I think he could have gotten another 5-6 million total on the open market. Seems like he took a little discount to come back to familiar grounds.

well that's on you -- OWNERSHIP

What's the AAV? I feel like if they gave him three years they should get a discount on AAV. Anything more than 18 million and I'm iffy. If they got him for 3/18 or something that's fine. But 3/22 or something feels like an overpay. I know we're "just" talking 2-4 million here and what's the difference but for the end of roster types that shit adds up and can prevent other moves.

Yea exactly. 2 years 85 million with a club option for a 3rd is a helluva lot better. That they had to include the opt out -- who the fuck were they bidding against at that AAV and those years?

there isn't a chance he opts out, the Mets played themselves.

the mets are a clown org.

this time of year you might find yourself doing a little "kummerspeck"

that's about where I'm at.

that's where I'm at. At the same time what other options are out there? He seems to have built some trust with the players I don't know if there is a better move available. A lateral move does nothing.

excellent post, I agree the biggest problem with the plan, and maybe it was a decent plan, we'll never know the best plan, but the problem was ditching the changeup. I never felt he had a feel for his stuff after the hamstring. Maybe that was the injury, maybe it was lack of usage, maybe it was both or something else or whatever. Post more.

They fucked it up. Babied him too much.

You will never see a 6 man rotation. Too much disruption to the routine. Now I would start using Kopech and Crochet as headliners. These guys need innings man. Kopech was coddled all year and instead of peaking he was arguably at his worst at the end. That plan didn't work.
