December 21, 20223 yr Funny thing is that Mets rotation is far from great, and scherzer and Verlander taking big steps back at their age wouldn't be surprising at all.

December 21, 20223 yr Who do the Mets shed, and how do we get in on it? I have little interest in EE, but if they want to trade prospects for Hendriks I’m definitely intrigued.

Thats why I don't think they'd throw away projects for savings, they may very well need them in season to acquire.

December 21, 20223 yr Cohen is worth $17 billion. I was reading up on him. If he loses $200 million a year the next 10 years, it doesn't matter to him. If JR risks losing $100k, he freaks out.

If JR risks losing $100k, he freaks out. he's also doing this in a year he's probably lost a pretty big chunk of his worth. There is probably no more fun way to spend money. He figured that out.

December 21, 20223 yr Scherzer has an opt out for 2024 and so does Verlander... (or they could both retire after this season, who knows) so this is all in for the Mets in 2023. That's why I can see them asking about Hendriks again as well as other guys. They want a championship.

December 21, 20223 yr Holy s%*# Cohen. Mets gotta be paying $500 million for the team this year now right? After all the luxury taxes?

They are banking a ton on 38 and 39 year old SP's. Sounds crazy coming from a Sox fan, but if I'm a Mets fan I would have much rather them sign Rodon and another good bat than go all in on Correra

I know he had an injury, but that's usually what happens to guys nearing 40...they get hurt more often.
December 21, 20223 yr 1 hour ago, Kyyle23 said: It worked on the other side of town a decade ago Not sure I'd say it worked. Correa is nowhere near the offensive player a rod was and the Yankees were worse defensively because of it. A lot of Correa's value is tied to the fact that he's the best defensive SS in baseball. Moving him off that position brings down his ceiling big time. Edited December 21, 20223 yr by Look at Ray Ray Run

December 21, 20223 yr Just now, SoxAce said: I'm sure their 2009 championship would say otherwise. So you're saying the Yankees don't win a title if A-Rod is at short and Jeter at 2nd or 3rd? Trying to figure out what you're debating. A-Rod was the best offensive player in baseball arguably. Correa is no where near that.
