The Official 2023 Mets Thread

[navery12]

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.

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.

deGrom will get one but I agree he won't feel like he earned it. And he didn't. But it's probably what seals his HOF ballot with the writers, which is pretty ironic

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.

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.

Nimmo CF
Lindor SS
Soto LF
Alonso 1B
Soler/JD Martinez Dan Hurley
Alvarez C
McNeil 2B
Marte RF
Mauricio 3B

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 do, I haven't seen the trade rumors but he feels like a guy that will be a Met for his career

I’d love Soto but don’t know about trading for him. It would really depend on what is going back. I think it might be worth the risk to see if he hits FA next year. If he does the Mets better give him the best offer.

I really want them to get Yamamoto and Imanaga. I know there is a risk on how they translate to mlb, but Yamamoto is so young and Imanaga should be relatively cheap (I’ve seen projections similar to what Senga got).
