Get him on a one year deal then ?

Yeah I'm not really concerned about power only players as hopefully improved health around the diamond and new coaches helps the guys already here. Just get good players.

I'm not sure if I'd say "slightly better."

I would guess the lineup looks like this as of right now: 1. Anderson SS 2. Benintendi LF 3. Robert CF 4. Eloy DH 5. Moncada 3B 6. Vaughn 1B 7. Grandal C 8. Sheets (or/and then after 3 weeks, Colas) RF 9. Romy I wanted to put Vaughn in from of Moncada here but figured you probably need to break up the righties (Robert, Eloy, Vaughn) and lefties (Moncada, Grandal, Colas). Also didn't want to pencil in Moncada in the #2 spot as, to me anyway, he has to earn his way up. I put him 5th kind of by default but you're right, if we don't add another left-handed bat and Moncada and Grandal don't bounce back, it gets scary.

The guy in the MLBTR chat yesterday predicted 2/$15M for Segura. I would hope that we would be able to add that if that's all he signed for. I would rather add now than try to make a trade for a need mid-season. I wish they could convince Jerry that if they spend a little more, they will be a better team and fans will want to come to the ballpark and spend money.

Baty, Peterson, Parada, Escobar (Sox pay all of this and he plays 2B) for Hendriks? A Hendriks trade actually makes his luxury tax number lesser.

I’m on the Segura train. Think he’s a good fit for the Dodgers and Red Sox too though.

Being 23, I guess you can put him in AAA to start the year. Not like he set the world on fire in the majors last year. I know that doesn’t help the ‘23 roster (unless injuries force his way up) but maybe you also grab David Peterson in a deal who is a lefty and has options. Like I said this morning, I don’t think there’s really a fit unless the Sox are good taking guys who don’t really help much this season.

Yeah I look at their roster and it looks pretty flawed for what they have spent.

I don’t know if the Sox and Mets are really a fit. I’m sure they will be looking to move Carrasco, Escobar, and McCann before anyone else. I’m sure some teams will give up basically nothing and take on almost the entire contract of each guy where maybe Mets eat some of it.

I think he’s their 2B. Escobar will be the guy moved I think.

Wonder what Segura will get. If you can get him at 1/$10M or 1 year with an option, you do it right?

10D

Rendon (will likely get hurt), Urshela, Drury, Fletcher, Rengifo. Where they all playing?

Yeah within the last few pages today but before Ottavino signed.

Sign Correa. We have, by my count, $60M coming off books after this season.

Hey, I’m just repeating what our board insider said.

Mets jumped into Correa sweepstakes a little too late. If Correa were available for them to sign, they would need to free up some money.

He explained it above.

Lol watch the deal fall through only for Cohen to swoop in and sign him.

Fair

Probably moot now with Ottavino re-signing with the Mets. Didn’t realize how great he was last year.

Meh. The problem isn’t that our highest paid free agent is Benintendi per se. It’s that the highest paid free dollar amount is only $75M. Should be someone else higher than that amount in the year 2022 for a major market team. Contract overall is fine.

Yeah I don’t think they would get Baty but I think getting catching prospect when they have a few isn’t that crazy. Maybe not Alvarez but Parada.

They don’t have to deal young players with EE or McCann if they are taking back bad money. But that’s not Liam. If they’re dealing either of those 2 and getting back Liam, they’re dealing a young player or two.
