OT: New York Mets 2024-2025 Off Season Thread

I just read an article saying San Diego is considering trading Tatis for Vlad. SD would only do the deal knowing there is strong chance Vlad would re-sign with the Padres. Curious to how this would impact the Mets? I've read the Mets are indifferent to Pete because they believe Vlad will be easier to sign than Pete once he's a free agent. This could get ugly if the Mets end up with no one.

Football Robb Smith set to return as Co-DC / Play Caller

I thought this hire would be met with more negativity. Instead it's indifference. That may be worse.
I think the people that are happy with his return, like myself, don't feel the urgency to post.
He is a guy that can go work the second he walks through the door. He knows the system and obviously has a great relationship with Schiano.

Zach Martini - most impactful defensive player? Most important metric says so

I definitely went to far with the title...need to get clicks for advertising.

I do think you can take something from the numbers when looking at martini vs. grant on the defensive end. I think the reason Grant sat on bench early in the year was he wasn't ready for how pike asks to defends screens/switches. I think he still isn't where he needs to be. Dortch and Grant have all the tools and need to play to get experience, but most nights Martini helps our defense (despite his poor DREB #s) more

From the day Ace committed until the 2024-2025 portal opened pike had 400+ days to build the NIL war chest

"And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer, "More, more, more, more""

If businesses aren't stepping up because there's no ROI, fans are in the same boat - there's absolutely no return on investment to fans from tossing a coin into the one-arm-bandit of NIL. This year we had millions coming from outside the fanbase and had two superstars... and we aren't even making the tournament.

I'm definitely at the point where I'm not only not giving NIL, but I'm reevaluating whether I'm going to continue buying season tickets at all in football or basketball.
I’m moving on from basketball season tickets to just picking a couple games a year but for me it’s the distance that’s the real issue. Dropping 2 of 4 in football. Debating the 2 still.
