Need him healthy for the trade deadline. Still might get something as a rental.

He ll be out 6 weeks. Mets medical staff is just as incompetent as the team.
Jorge Lopez post game interview was a doozy
To summarize
Pretty much said
I’m on the f—-ing worst team in the league and they were embarrassed by me throwing glove
F them , I’ll be here if they want me to , if not I don’t
f—ing care
Asked to clarify yea we are the worst team

Wow. Sounds like he has to be released immediately.
Think the Mets medical staff analogy started after Reyes was diagnosed with a slight calf strain on a road trip with medical staff saying it was day to day , Reyes ended up missing 8? weeks .
Calm down, Karen. Lumping Alonso in is a sign that you have lost it.
Guess the number of wins.
My guess- 30 max.
Used to make watching the games a priority in my evenings or weekends, or at least listening to the radio broadcast. Will check the scores and this thread, but otherwise, I have tuned out for the season.
He did say TEAMMATE not TEAM.
I’m surprised that someone as good as Gelbs went for the low hanging fruit.
But Lopez should still be gone.
He apparently said both. And he was not wrong. But I agree he should be gone. No need to inject toxicity into a poor performance. The manager, coaches and players need to look in the mirror and work harder.
Since we’re talking “worst” here, of course the worst poster chimes in.Mets =
Show some class Pete. Mets have embarrassed themselves this season. Despite having the highest payroll they are a league wide embarrassment and laughing stock.
Not saying Lopez is right for throwing his glove, and cussing, and whatever. I do think he said worst team mate first, then followed up with worst team on a follow up which, I think he's not too far off from, but that was not his original intent.
But a guy showing frustration while playing on a garbage team? Is that so bad? Is this so far off from a Paul ONeil tirade(who would go nuts while playing for a good team)?
What if this wakes the team up, while he is stuck in the minors? That would seem weird.

I mention it just above but is it toxicity? Or is it a wake up call?
I think the professional thing to do is toe the line after the manager says it's unacceptable, but he didn't, and by not doing so it so I think it got out of his control going places he didn't intend it to.
Odd situation, and I don't really fault him.

I don’t even know what to say about these Mets anymore. I don’t remember those 79-81 teams well since I was like 8. But they were supposed to suck in those Doug Flynn/ Alex Trevino years.
I DO remember the 91-92 Vince Coleman Years. That squad and the current squad were supposed to compete but both suck. And both squads are full of disgraced 🫏 holes.

Absolutely correct about toeing the line. I'm a big fan of the leadership principles espoused by ex Navy Seal Jocko Willink. The core principle is extreme owernship--it's ownership from the top down in an organization. Problems and mistakes happen, but each person must take ownership and not deflect onto others. You have a weak link --well guess what, the leaders need to address that, but others on the team need to compensate for it.
Above all else, when you screw up, own it, take a mea culpa and don't deflect. "I did the wrong thing. I was wrong, and I apologize to my teammates, the manager and the organization. My actions were unacceptable." What Lopez did was deflect.
I don’t quite get the DFA. He’s not happy, shouldn’t be, and showed it badly. If he wasn’t frustrated, I’d be more worried. I think management is looking to give the team a kick in the pants, but I’m not sure that this is the way.
See I don't think he deflected though. He took it on himself.
What he didn't do though was put the fire out. He put more gas on it.
Question is does this team need to put the fire out, or does it need some fire?
Now the team did what it had to do, Lopez went outside the lines, and then refused the opportunity to get back within the lines, but I kind of see what Lopez did as a positive.
I agree that he took it on himself, but he compensated by saying the team sucks. So, to me that is deflection. Funny thing, this morning I find myself in a similar situation with a work issue. I need to explain to the boss that I messed up. But the mess up came from the top down. I'm certainly not going to say that this place has been f'd up for years, and I'm just part of the problem. I'm going to own my mistake, point to where it originated and say that I should have caught it much earlier. And I want to make it right.
Different people have different feelings on these types of issues, and that's OK. Depending on a person's perspective, they may feel the other way is "wrong," and maybe that's not the best way to look at it. One positive on what Lopez did is he shined a bright light on the dumpster fire. But it has been in plain view for a while now.
Love that Acuna starting to find his way. Also Tidwell can’t get here soon enough.
If he can get to and maintain around .280 by July, get rid of McNeil and give him 2B.
Yeah, this team has that "Worst Team Money Could Buy" vibe. The Mets have had some teams that were bad, but very easy to root for. This one is not.

Harrison Bader’s bizarre Mount Rushmore answer is another sad Mets moment
Harrison Bader gave a bizarre answer during an interview as Mets fans are already reeling from a disastrous day for the franchise.

This should be interesting…
Either no one will give a crap about him or his family…
Or The Mets is going to have its soul dragged out of its already dead carcus for cutting a player with language issues, going through a mental health situation, while his child is awaiting a life saving transplant.
