Guy’s a R/R tweener who is probably a utility player and a pinch runner. Mets got all the upside here. Frankly, I would rather have a couple of teenaged lottery tickets. Yeah but did you see his 14 games in 2024? He practically looked like Ronald Acuna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago The last piece of that Hahn era is gone. Goodbye Robert. Thank you for that one amazing year. Other than that, likely will barely play 100 games with the Mets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Safe to say that the Hahn method of signing guys to guaranteed money contracts with option years before they played in the majors did not work out...at all. It does not pay to be cheap asses. Edited 1 hour ago by chw42 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick Mercedes Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 25 minutes ago, Bob Sacamano said: I can’t imagine sending much cash if that’s the return. And honestly, might as well have just dealt him in July. Sold lower now than they might have later, correct. There ought to be a good point to doing it now. Otherwise, don’t do it just to do it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Should have traded him after 2023 when the plug got pulled. What a colossal blunder. Never in a million years would I have thought he would end up in an awful salary dump trade one day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
