I know this guy may not be credible but had to share for the weird phrasing on "contingent that the Mets also receive Lenyn Sosa. Like, contingent to who? lol
I could see maybe getting one but not much else with him. Yeah, it would definitely be disappointing after a couple years of dreaming and believing what he could go for. It was a gamble on a bet that keeps on losing.
They gambled and lost and keep losing.
What if they decide not to trade him in July though? Do you pick up the option in the off-season and try to see if you can trade him by next July?
Shoulda just thrown in cash in the offseason (2/3 of his 2025 salary aka what you're paying him if you move him at the end of July anyway) to help get what you wanted.
