Even though I understand the trades and think we did OK for the long-term, thought this was a very funny edit...
So, here's how I got off the ledge....
1) The Baby Mets get to play the rest of the way and develop.
2) Acuna and Drew Gilbert seem as close to "sure things" as you can plan around.
3) And this one might be a stretch....but does this help us financially to go after Ohtani?
The cons? Watching Carlos Carrasco, Senga, a makeshift rotation and a terrible bullpen the rest of the year. And what do we do with Pete? It'll literally take a piece of my Mets heart if he isn't here long term.
That's how successful organizations are run. Buck Showalter should not be making personnel decisions. And they were absolutely out of it. They were 6.5 games out of the wild card with 5 teams ahead of them. Their playoff odds were 16.3%The owner through the GM without Buck’s knowledge dismantled the team mid season when they were not out of it. That says it all on this organization. Garbage.
Not even for input? And analytics are overrated. Play the games, use your 2 H of Fame pitchers.That's how successful organizations are run. Buck Showalter should not be making personnel decisions.

Nope, not even for input. Your 2nd sentence is all I needed to see though, so I regret responding alreadyNot even for input? And analytics are overrated. Play the games, use your 2 H of Fame pitchers.
Scherzer should feel some sense of accomplishment. They were in a tight division race and he pitched very well for them in the regular season. He earned the ring.With 2 outs left, it looks like the Rangers will win their 1st WS.
What is your honest thoughts on how a) Scherzer and b) deGrom feel about being an official WS champ and getting rings.
My thoughts?
a) Scherzer has been a hired gun most of his career and, even though he pitched like garbage here, he'll just lump the ring on his pile of postseason success and be fine with it.
b) I can't see deGrom feeling any part of this ring. Watching him in NY I just don't feel like he'd ever feel this one was "real" for him.
I'd be all over Soto if I'm the Mets, something like Baty, Parada, one of their top pitching prospects like Hamel should get it done. This lineup would be ready to compete again next year with some pitching additions.Lots of Juan Soto talk. Thoughts?
1) I’d love Nimmo, Lindor, Soto, Pete at the top.
2) if they don’t sign Pete long term, I’d take Soto to replace him.
I’m a big fan of him. Great plate discipline and still young.
You think McNeil will be here? Seems like his name is bounced around a lot. I hope he's a Met lifer to be honest.I'd be all over Soto if I'm the Mets, something like Baty, Parada, one of their top pitching prospects like Hamel should get it done.

I do, I haven't seen the trade rumors but he feels like a guy that will be a Met for his careerYou think McNeil will be here? Seems like his name is bounced around a lot. I hope he's a Met lifer to be honest.
