I know they are going to enforce blocking at every base this year but WTF was that?
https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id...s-dodgers-shohei-ohtani-ask-investigate-theftI can only imagine this board if the Mets had signed him, lmfao! Something doesn't pass the smell test.
Mets sign JD Martinez. 1 year $12 million.
Talk about a methodical first off-season from Stearns.

Thank goodness. Had to happen. Gives lineup a little more depth.
This signing is small n $$$ but could be huge in everything else- if the guy can do 90% of what he did last year- it is a HR...
Pete approves this signing lol

I never thought Cohen would punt in 2024. If their in it come late July, Uncle Stevie will advise Stearn to make something happen at the trade deadline.
Can’t put your foot in front of the base. He did. And they’re calling it now. That’s what that was.
What's new at Mets' Citi Field in 2024?

Mets management did not stop making big changes at Citi Field in 2024, adding a number of new options to make it worth heading over for games.

Mets make big free agent splash on slugger who took $2 million less to play in Queens
It appears Mets slugger Pete Alonso will have protection in the lineup after all
his foot was barely there- I am a little confused how a guy is really going to defend against a steal this year. Year- I get it- straddle the base- but that is hard as F to do with a 90 mph throw from the catcher, 200lb man sliding in and applying a tag with your balls fully exposed to a guy popping up out of his slide.
Gotta say the new lineup looks soooooo much better- even if you go conservative on the numbers
1) Nimmo- near .400 OBP with some power
2) Marte- if he can get closer to 2022 than 2023 .270 with some pop and possible 30+ SB
3) Lindor- 30/30? again?
4) Pete- I am sure his under .220 will not happen again- so lets say he is closer to .250 that will make his power number even better but let's call him 45HR near 120 RBI
5) Martinez - let's say he drops a little but let's call it 30/100
6) McNeil- .300 hitter
7) Alvarez - 30/90
8) Baty/Vientos- 20/80 combined
9) Bader - .240-250 some pop and a ton of speed

When said deals are Ruf/Givens/Vogey when your team has (had) a great chance, yes I am.
this doesn't make sense- Stearn's job is going to require him to be obsessed with trade deadline deals...
This will create more leg injuries for the infielders. Just stupid mother f*ckers if you ask me.
WTF does that even mean? So many GM's are graded and compensated for having great trade deadline deals.
I don't think there was a need to tweak this one. They gave enough advantages to the runner last year, which I was good with. I liked losing the shift and seeing more stolen bases, but this is a little over the top.
JD Martinez has agreed to start the season in the minors. Think of it as a "pre-hab" assignment. Figure about a week.
Yeah, he would need to. Sure he’s working out on his own but you need some better competition to get ready.
What basis do you have for that?
I’ll put my money on GMs developing a system that produces tons of talent as being by far the leading basis for compensation. And good in-season trades is only one of many (and more important) results that come from developing a top system.
This makes no sense, unless you retreat to a position that a GM should be obsessed about everything. Teams supplement current MLB rosters or begin to restock their systems with in-season trades. In either instance, it’s a losing game if you’re GM hasn’t spent much more time, effort, and analysis at building the system.
A well-run team will more often be using deadline deals, if at all, to fine-tune the MLB club. The obsession on this board with “deadline deals” is essentially an indicator of how badly the Mets system has been run over the last few years. The Mets always need a lot because they haven’t done the real work of building a system..
I think you’re just not getting it. They’re calling it now. That’s it. They’re calling it. They’re not kind of calling it. They’re calling it. Just get the message. I’m sure the MLB teams will get it soon enough.
Bingo. Just another positive sign that this guy is good. It’s funny that he’s so young but is running the show like an adult. No panic moves. Build and protect the system. Make smart moves. Use the big money we have, but use it smartly, not like a panicked spendthrift.
I get it and know they are calling it but forgot, need to remember not to respond to you unless I just say, yes, you are right.
It’s like you don’t even know how to just have a conversation.,,
So you're not obsessed with this late spring training move that wasn't a trade? 👀 Sort of like a poor man's trade deadline no? 😎
It was in response to your “his foot was barely there” comment. They’re calling it, and “barely there” is, above all things, “there.”
