I’ve seen enough of Curtis Meadiocre.  It was worth a shot I guess but no way was Getz ever going to put one over on the Rays front office.

See Keppinger, Jeff.  First Hahn signing.

Meanwhile Romy Gonzalez would be the best Sox hitter, at least statistically.

Ideal Sox corner player.

Yeah, a corner infielder with less power than a utility guy.

A lot like Jacob Gonzalez...no standout tools.

Sox facing a perfect storm tonight with BoSox leading Toronto again.

Would be a first place tie in the East if scores hold up.

Cannon is just awful. Hope he has a decent winter.

Fried vs. Ellard/Cannon Is one of the biggest mismatches of the season.

He’s going to totally dominate his offseason workouts 

Those last three games in WSH are going to average 2 hrs 5 mins...

MAT has an OPS under .400 the last month and stopped playing defense. Why does he even play

Already has plans to work out with Luis Robert, Jay and Yonder Alonso at Camp Cora in Miami.

Annual awful waste of money Getz veteran acquisition.

Veteran presence

Sosa just swung at a pitch so far outside that even Robert might have taken it for a ball.

He was always going to be CF relief for the Robert trade that never came to be.

Cannon looked like he believed that he gave up another bomb to Judge lol

It’s an annual Sox strategy since Kenny, then Hahn, and now Getz.  They waste millions each offseason on garbage vets because they have no faith in the players in their minors or that they acquire.

I wrote that Sean Manaea got DFA'd which was wrong...Manoah did. Tomato, tomahto sort of thing...bad pitcher, baaaad pitcher.

The point being they're paying the guy $75mil to pitch to a 5.59 ERA. That's actual wasted money, $2mil is pretty marginal.

Take a last shot at Alek Manoah?

Going to the bullpen...it's all about economies of scale.

Friedman in LA has made just as many mistakes, arguably. $111 million to that pen and Scott/Treinen terrible, Yates il'ed. Not to mention the Conforto deal.

And the Mets do have that lockdown closer in the post season in Diaz, to go with a really strong Top 5/6 hitters.

 

Ofc Mets' problem is starting pitching.

Rookie McLean has been really solid and earned a spot in the post season rotation.

Fixed

They make such a big deal about winning games now giving them confidence and momentum for next season. Last year they won 5 of their last 6.
