He may not even want to play next season.

I know people say this about just about every star, but by how much do they need to outbid a team? It is tough for guys to turn down the highest offer. A lot of it is an ego thing too. Like "I got paid more than this guy."

I'd rather they sign a Cole or Strasburg (assuming opt-out) than give overpay Ozuna who isn't a RF (yes, I realize they can afford to sign 2 huge deals...but come on).

A 1 WAR RF is probably about 4 WAR better than this season's RF situation.

Was watching some of the game last night on the Fox Sports broadcast and they mentioned they have made the most outs on the bases this year.

Honestly he would probably accept that in a heartbeat.

No reason you can't have Mendick, Leury and Engel on one team. Unless you want to have more of a bat first back up to hit against tough lefties late in games (example: as someone said earlier, Kendrick).

I was going to say, since Moncada isn't moving back to 2B (most likely), this should read "left-side of the infield."

Eovaldi, Smyly with Cubs, Garrett Richards with Padres this past offseason (he just came back to make a start actually). Edit: Pineda with Twins maybe?

I miss when the Sox were actually good enough to be someone's rival.

Basically say the same about hot female teachers that bang their students that are like 15/16 (sometimes even younger). Just go to a bar and find a guy.

They had a sky-high price on him if I recall. Even if they reduced it, they still likely could have gotten a good haul. And then this news would have come out. Have to be kicking themselves now. Also, that guy has been such a cancer for them in the clubhouse it seems. I feel like he's been involved in every clubhouse altercation you read about. Like you said, HE GONE. Edit: if he gets released, which team does he eventually sign with, the Cubs? And which reporter will praise Theo and write about how it's great they are giving him another chance?

Agreed. Especially if there is going to be expansion and possible realignment soon.

Doubtful. They have enough infield depth. Plus Gavin Lux was called up this year. Likely the 2B next year.

I would like for Collins to receive the majority of the starts behind the plate the rest of the season (while McCann DH's/catches day game after night game).

I don't think he would get offered a QO. If he is offered a QO, 1 of 2 things happens: 1. he accepts or 2. he rejects and re-signs for less than the QO on a one or two year deal. No team is going to give up draft pick for him.

No, I don't believe they did. Everyone here knows that. Jay was only brought in for one reason and it had nothing to do with his on-field production.

You don't give up your first round picking sign a free agent with a QO attached.

Exactly. Say our current guys are producing a -2.5 WAR in RF (don't know the exact number just going off of the -5 WAR between RF and DH stat). He's at a 1.7 WAR for the season which isn't stellar, but you're talking an upgrade of 4.2 WAR.

Seriously, give the man an OF glove at this point. We've all seen enough Palka (6-spot lol).

Especially not for a guy with a neck injury. But the Mets have gotten a new GM recently so maybe he won't be as in love with Nimmo as a GM who drafts players.

You can probably add a defensive-first OF (Engel? Free agent?) to the bench since rosters expand to 26.

He should try warming up with a softball like Contreras did. Spoiler alert: it helps.

Without looking, I'd assume it's a nickname lol

I don't know. 1 year as starting 2B possibly traded to contender to start is probably tempting.
