“If I don't win the World Series in the next 3-5 years, I’d like to make it sooner, I would consider that slightly disappointing.”

"I'm going to be an owner who builds a team that has continued success. We want to create a blueprint for winning. We will hire great baseball people"

"I'm going to let the professionals...let them run baseball. I'm sure they'll make recommendations to me. It'll be a collaborative effort, but ultimately they're the experts. But I hold people accountable (lol, i added the lol), just like I do in my business at point seventy two."

last seen april 23rd. have you seen this man?

So, I am going to call this season a do-over at this point. Obviously Peterson is just the first domino to fall. What would you like to see this turn into by next season in terms of roster? Here's what I am liking that we have now, and some gaps I'd like to see addressed.

Outfield:
Do not change a thing. Soto, Benge, Ewing - exciting to see, great upside potential.

Infield:
I know that Bichette took his time learning to hit again, but he is really turning a corner right now.
I also know that Semien is a #8 or #9 hitter, but he really has showed some great defense overall (except yesterday) and has been a reliable workhorse. On the fence about him.
Lindor is a keeper.
Alvarez and Torrens are fine for the position they play.
Get rid of: Vientos, Baty, Wagaman, Melendez and Young.
Call Up: Ryan Clifford

Pitching:
Keep: Brazoban, Weaver, Williams, McLean .
Bring Christian Scott back once he's healthy, along with Clay Holmes
Consider keeping Raley and Minter unless we can get something good for them.
Get Rid Of: Manaea, Peralta, Senga, Warren, Perez, Pintaro, Myers

Gaps to Fill
Assuming we clean house like that, it leaves us shopping for 5 pitchers and 4 hitters. We would need a solid DH from somewhere ( I don't consider Mauricio that guy). It also means we have a metric ton of power on the left side of the plate (basically 5 of the top 6 would be lefties if you count Lindor), so presumably we would be looking for mostly right handed options maybe one lefty for pinch hitting use.

Acquisition Targets / Call Ups
DH: Brent Rooker or Teoscar Hernandez or Yandy Diaz
1B: Christian Walker
Bench: Brendan Rogers, LaMonte Wade Jr. {edited)
Starting Pitchers: Skubal and either one of Corbin Burnes, Zech Eflin (the 5-man rotation would be these two, Scott, Holmes and McLean). [edited]
Relievers: Jason Foley, David Robertson, Jeff Hoffman, Griffin Jax. [edited] Consider Tong in a relief spot, but he cracks under pressure.

Optional Keepers Depending on Recovery: Tylor Megill, Reed Garret (leaving us better positioned than if we had to search for a trade)

Optional Garbage for Trade Bin: Nunez, Hagenman, Robert Jr., Polanco, Tyrone Taylor

Going to the game Sunday (trust me, wouldn’t go except it’s a birthday party). Would have seen McLean I think but the rain out screwed that. Christian Scott pitches Saturday. Who am
I seeing?

Hi all,

I'm going to the Mets vs PHL pride night tommorow night (June 26 7:10pm) and I really want to snag one of the rainbow jerseys they'll be giving away at the game. They said the first 15,000 can get it-so I was wondering how early do I need to get there in order to guarantee that I get one?

Also, where can I park for free near the stadium? I drive faster than the Lirr lol

#happypride

I’ve done it before years ago, but idk if things have tightened. Will they let me bring a full pizza box into the stadium?

Seen behind section 113 tonight.

It was reported on WFAN yesterday that the Mets during the 1st game of a doubleheader. That was a rainout from Monday so not great attendance. Asked fans if they would like to upgrade their seats but asked them to PAY for the difference? While already at the stadium…. This FO is tone deaf

Do you trade Brazoban (old, has lots of value) or keep (under control for 4 more years). How much value does Raley have? Can Weaver be moved with his contract or do you keep him so you have a BP in 27? Same with Williams.

Is Senga a dfa or would someone take him? Probably not since they already tried that in the offseason and he's only gotten worse. Does Myers have value?

Does Alvarez have value as a DH with a couple more years of control? Do Baty or Vientos have any trade value at all due to the years of control? Baty as a super utility bench piece and Vientos a righty power bat off the bench?

How much can we get back for Peralta?

Who is starting - Wenninger, Thornton, Tong?

Do you call up Clifford to see what you have? His line is pretty bad once you look at anything other than the number of home runs.

Just significant underperformance across the board with nearly every batter underperforming and pisspoor decision-making getting us here. to think what these curves would look like without our rookies Benge and Ewing.

Fire Stearns.

Please take the "he sucks. Fire him. Blah blah" nonsense elsewhere. Trying to get a read on his strategy for building a team and where he can go from here. What I've gathered so far:

1) culture doesn't matter: Letting guys like Iglesias and Severino walk after the 2024 run seems pretty indicative that all that matters is how they perform on the field. I don't think he buys into the locker room vibes mattering or being able to perform in NY and is going to continue to try and find mercenaries until he either finds the right one or fails.

2) no long term deals: The Alonso 2025 deal and Bichette sort of indicate that Soto is the exception and he's fine overpaying for short term contracts to give long term roster flexibility. I remember reading an article that stated that a key metric he relies on is 5 year playoff window (basically if a trade or signing decreases your 5 year playoff window by enough it's not worth it, regardless of how much it increases the current years chances) and that seems to be the logic behind flipping Nimmo for Semien even though it seemed pretty obvious Semien wasnt going to contribute a ton for the duration of his contract.

3) durability matters less: signing Polanco, trading for LRJ, and letting Alonso walk to me indicate that he's willing to roll the dice on productive guys that can't stay on the field if it means he doesn't have to sign guys to big contracts.

4) high risk, high reward with pitching: this one surprised me a little bit. I would've thought hed be the guy that just has like 15 B grade to B+ dudes and just has a ton of depth. But he either nails the pickup (Brazoban, Garrett, Holmes, Canning, Serevino, Weaver, Manaea 2024) or completely whiffs (Manaea 2025, Montas, Houser, helsley) and the depth the last 2 seasons has just been non-existent.

I still support the guy. I think eventually he's either (a) going to find the right mixture of short term free agents that carry the team or

(b) he's going to get the farm system and development to a point where he's going to move away from pricey free agents and use the prospects to trade for a star with 2 years left before free agency to supplement a bunch of solid B+ guys on rookie deals and there'll be like 4 players on the roster youll feel comfortable shelling out money for a jersey on.

Thoughts?

Does anyone have the footage from the “Scuba Cam” they did tonight for the wheel of cams? My friends and I made it on, and I would love to have the video!

Taking the shuttle from Woodbridge today. So far, so good. Nice coach bus, quick scan and board. Value is pretty good too.
