It’s not just the fastball. The velocity on both his pitches has been down all year.
OT: 2024 NY Mets Season Thread

300+ million dollar payroll for a second straight year and no one with any trade value unless the Mets pay 80% of the salary. Cohen teams are turning out to be worse than the Wilpon's. At least with the Wilpon's we could complain about being cheap. Now we spend a lot of money and look terrible.
Nido whiffs on ball right down middle
That’s on Nido.
He just sucks He sucked Ly and he sucks this year
You hit 200 with almost no power you can’t let ball knee high right down middle go between your legs

Yes it was a blown call. But please, enough with the conspiracy theories!
Ok, you’re on record. Cohen worse than the Wilpons. Enjoy wearing that evaluation as the years move on.
Joey Wendel needs to be off this damn team. He does nothing well. He sucks at everything. Get rid of him.
This loss was on the Mets. They lost the game in the third inning. Yes, the umpires sucked, but the loss is on the Mets. This team is almost unwatchable.
I think they were batting like .135 with the bases loaded coming into tonight. That almost seems impossible. And of course it went down after those 3 straight whiffs tonight.
Some may say they lost the game in the ninth inning. I would be among them.
Although I get your point.
I think that Jose Iglesias would be an upgrade. Hell, maybe even Julio Iglesias would be an upgrade.
The sad thing is, at this point he's the best they have. At least there's a nonzero chance that he'll throw out a base stealer.
Didn’t take long for that reactionary, pointless blabber to fall to pieces. Figured.
And this isn't true one bit. Also if they wanted to unload players there are many they could trade that would fetch something without paying off any of the deal.
Not so sure about that...
Obviously the Mets can find takers for their pre-ARB and ARB guys, and those on expiring contracts. But the guys who have guaranteed money beyond this year? Let's take a look.
Lindor - No chance.
Marte - No chance.
Nimmo - Doubt it. If he were owed three years, maybe. But not six.
Senga - If he proves himself healthy and recovers his prior form, then yes. But not tradable now.
Diaz - Highly unlikely. He is being paid on his 2022 form, which he may never recapture.
McNeil - Nope. Unless someone wants the world's highest paid utility player, which right now is what he is.
Manaea - Probably yes, although his opt-out is a disincentive.
If all seven guys are back next year, and if Verlander's option vests, then the Mets are already on the hook for almost $160M next year. For seven guys. No bueno.
He said the Mets had no one with trade value. He didn't qualify it with any of that.
Interesting discussion. But I think anyone with continuing blood flow to the brain can agree that there's a yawning chasm of idiocy between this multi-leveled analysis and the announcement that the Mets have no one that they can trade without paying 80% of their salary.

What were the odds that a single player would have a RBI hit by pitch in consecutive games? Crazy.
And what about that stacked Mets bottom of the order 6-9 today. Baty, Taylor, Wendle and Narvaez. Good times. 😖

Jersey you need to get a life! Go outside and inhale the fresh air.
Yes, we can certainly trade players like Manaea, Severino, Reid-Foley, Ottavino without paying 80% of the salary, but these guys won't net much more than a low level or mid level prospect who has a very small chance of ever making it to the big leagues. As you pointed out, either we are stuck with terrible players who are highly compensated for the next several years or we trade them for good prospects and pay 80% of their salary.
You are taking things too literally. No one is giving us a haul like Juan Soto for any of our superstars without us paying 80% of their salary. Players with expiring contracts will only net a low or mid level prospect which doesnt really move the needle.
Which players could the Mets trade and get back any decent value without paying 80% of their salary?
My post was clearly referring to the $300+ million roster from the last 2 years.
So we got a hit. Progress. Last time it took until the last chance in the game.
Most of the pitchers, Alonso, JD.
Times the Wilpon owned Mets won 100 games 0. Cohen Mets 1.
He got his real POBO in Stearns let them cook. The payroll this year is not indicative of the full talent of the team as it's paying off the 2 vet SPs from last year so bringing it up means nothing.
Big picture for the season so far this year is the bats need to come around but hovering around .500 is fine all things considered especially with the Alvarez injury. This is also without their best SP in Senga.
I'm on the j-o-b. But trust me even if I were at home I wouldnt be sitting down to watch them swing those apparent wiffle ball bats.
Got a feeling there will fans in the stands with trash bags on their heads in September maybe even August
And . . .
Suddenly the point changes to the team not getting Juan Soto level value in a trade, a point that isn't a point at all and has nothing to do with what you wrote.
This just keeps getting worse and worse.
You post a lot for someone who wouldn't be sitting down to watch them if you were at home.
No more than you did for the entire offseason questioning every move or non-move made. Yes my mind kept receipts. So no need to come along now like you've been Mr Positivity.
The point has not changed. You are taking the discussion way to literally.
Which pitcher is going to land you a top level prospect? Alonso will be a FA and is having a terrible year. Not getting any top level prospects. JD Martinez barely signed at the start of the season and is also not getting any top level prospects.
