December 22, 20223 yr Kinda sad here. He was our one infielder I felt confident we’d get good defense across third/short/second. Leury has always been bizarrely bad at second.
December 22, 20223 yr Too much hate for Leury. He was used the wrong way last year. I think you will see that change this year and he will have a better year. He should be playing once a week..... you will see that.

December 22, 20223 yr The Mets must be planning to move Escobar if they gave Mendick a guaranteed contract.
December 22, 20223 yr 13 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: The Mets must be planning to move Escobar if they gave Mendick a guaranteed contract. I thought that also. But I think even with guaranteed money he can still play in the minors. He's got options left I think. But it is feasible they still want to shed his salary, maybe not to the extent they paid for McCaans salary with the O's or at all if they still want Hendrik and are willing to give up Baty too. But if they part with Escobar I imagine they'd want to keep Baty. Maybe Mauricio and Dominic Hamel. But I thought any chance of a trade with the Mets went out the window after they resigned Ottavino but the discussions continued. If they wanted Kelly straight up for Escobar I'd do that if the Mets threw in a little money.
December 22, 20223 yr Wouldnt need to throw in any money. Their contracts are almost identical. 9 mill vs. 10 mill. Edited December 22, 20223 yr by Jnooch

December 22, 20223 yr I am strangely sad to see Mendick go. I didn’t think I had such an affinity but here we are ?.

December 22, 20223 yr I am more surprised the Mets are giving him a roster spot over the winter versus anything else.
December 22, 20223 yr Small price to have 4 years of control though. If he had made an adjustment that unlocked his bat than this is solid. If not - it is 1M which is nothing in MLB.

He should be playing once a week..... you will see that. He’s surprisingly awful at defense, just cause he can “play” multiple positions doesn’t mean he should. And the issue is paying him 5 million dollars a year (for 3 years) when you can get similar production for a fraction of the cost. I agree he should be only playing one game a week, but not at that cost. Edited December 22, 20223 yr by ShoeLessRob

December 22, 20223 yr No trade clause: The Chicago White Sox Liked his message to Sox fans. Edited December 22, 20223 yr by South Side Hit Men
December 22, 20223 yr Happy for Danny. Was kinda hoping we'd be able to snag him on an milb deal in like February, but he deserves this.
