Back to reality- the PED finding is GREAT for the Met's. It just made things so much clearer. Prior to this happening- 2 things were really screwing us up that this fixes. Cano's money- not that Cohen can't handle 20 mil but that contract forces us to play the guy and he was untradeable and secondarily, he actually proved he can still hit. May have been our 3rd best hitter all year.
But he is also the reason we had to figure out what to do with McNeil, Davis, Smith
Him being out, makes that so much easier. In my world, I now plant McNeil at 2nd and Davis at 3B and just leave that alone. Now, all we have to figure out is what to do about Nimmo and Smith.
Both need to be major league starters. I just don't know who I would prefer. DH would make it so much easier.
But now, if I could get Lindor for let's say Nimmo/Gimeniz or Rosario - I would make that trade today. Throw bags of cash at Springer and Bauer, if I can't get JT then get a guy like McCan behind the plate and sign up for the WS in 2021...
Agree with someone above that we negotiate a buyout with Cano and he never sees a Met's Uniform again
