Squirmin' for Yermin

Grandal has .7 WAR already.. On pace for 1.4ish WAR.. Which in a normal year would be about a 4.2 WAR season... He doesn't have a high batting average and never will.. I see you use that as the be all, end all.. Stop it. Encarnacion, Cishek and Gonzalez were cheap deals so absolutely nothing is/was hurt by signing them...

what did he say?

Isan Diaz just opted back IN to the season (after opting out) and was granted approval.. I wonder how difficult it is to be approved. Theoretically, Kopech could opt back in? Especially since him was likely not COVID related. Just a thought.

I don't think you can go into a season you expect to REALLY compete with a potential question mark at closer (Foster, Burdi,Heuer). You have to sign/trade someone.

Put up or shut up.. You've got ~25 games to prove it!

To clarrify there are A LOT more SP that I'd want.. I just see him being super likely given the familiarity AND Reinsdorf's loyalty

1. Sign Quintana as our big SP signing. 2. Kopech comes back and is ready to go day 1 3. We trade for Benintendi 4. Trade for Edwin Diaz 4. Pickup option on Leaury 5. Decline, EE, Ciscek.

WOOOOOOOO

You've got the wrong Yermin you ding-bat.

Neither of them can sign until like January now right? OR what is the deal.

WTF are you even talking about.... How on earth is this not a playoff team? I am not complaining, I am asking and generating discussion that you have provided nothing but dumb shit to. I am talking the season as a whole, not one game.. I am using Robert as an example because he could be one of the highest base stealers in the league.

Couldn't agree more

Now I know stealing isn't always the smartest thing.. But I saw that we are 27th TWENTY-SEVENTH in the league in stolen bases.. We likely have a top 5 speed team in the league. How is this possible? Have we decided to not let them steal? Robert has only 4 but could get 40 easily. Moncada used to steal 30 in the minors, Anderson, Engle, etc.. Any insight?

Agreed.. You can't always be right

I always loved him pre-injury. I often thought he could be Quintana-esque. Not overpowering stuff but got the job done more than well and was a solid #3.

Bro, same.

I DO NOT WANT LYNN IF IT COSTS DUNNING I DO NOT WANT LYNN IF IT COSTS DUNNING I DO NOT WANT LYNN IF IT COSTS DUNNING I DO NOT WANT LYNN IF IT COSTS DUNNING I DO NOT WANT LYNN IF IT COSTS DUNNING

I hope not.. I want nothing to do with Lynn if he costs Dunning.

But two starts in a row might...

Wait.. isn't this guy an "insider" of ours? Or am i mistaking?

wow..

What would he take?

Not technically true.. but yes, Degrom trade isnt happening lol

Why is Nimmo batting 9th today for the Mets... With Conforto out of the lineup as well... Are they expecting to potentially have to pull him via a trade???? Seems strange to say the least.

I LOVE Kopech.. but you'd have to do that.. also, no way this happens lol
