Perfect. Send Nido for Wheeler 🤣🤣🤣
Jk jk jk.
George Costanza: Mr Cohen, I figured out a way how we can get Harper and Wheeler and it won’t cost us anything.
Mr Cohen: Well George tell that to the Assistant to the GM who we just hired when we thought you were dead.
George Costanza: We trade Tomas Nido for Harper and Wheeler.
LOL.
Wheelers stats are comparable to Bauer over the past 3 seasons. And he isn't a raging a-hole either. :)
To bad Cohen didn't buy the Mets last year. Wheeler would still be a Met
What you are missing is that I have no problem going out and upgrading our backup catcher but it is such a low priority and I just pointed out your options don’t make much sense.
as for boldest 4- how can you say you didn’t say something when it is in writing?
as for Noah and deGrom...If those two guys are comfortable pitching to Nido, even if McCan is light years better than Ramos, then I am ok with Nido no matter what he hits. Again, would be great to get another guy they like too but it just makes it such a low priority if I get a McCan or a Realmuto
I assume he is talking about May. Though his Yankees could have used a few more B levels like that last year
Or maybe they don’t want a long term 6-7 year deal over $20mil per year for a catcher.
you can also have money and be smart. Realmuto also made it clear he doesn’t want NY...except to try to drive his market up
It’s irrelevant whether upgrading at backup catcher is high or low priority. It’s a cheap cheap upgrade and a necessary one. Nice debate!
It actually is low, hopefully cheap and a good fun debate. Better than feeding the 3 Amigo trolls. lol
I think we are all just on edge now with a real owner and ready for him to make a "major" move.
Bullshit rumor. Shot down yesterday by the Phillies.
The managing general partner of the Philadelphia Phillies said Sunday afternoon that the team will not trade starting pitcher Zack Wheeler under any circumstances.
Old news. We knew this right after the WS. The question is if they are forced back to regional scheduling than I'm sure it would be back.
As an American League fan I can tell you that there's nothing more ridiculous than pitchers batting.
The only thing funnier would be having a goalie as one of your five shooters in an NHL shootout.
Eliminated as a carryover rule change in late October.
Report: The designated hitter will only be used in the American League in 2021
Get ready to watch pitchers hit again in 2021.

“Baseball will reportedly”, speculating, letter from last week is more direct, so valid news.
Almost the same except that Hockey didn't start out with a shootout and or a Goalie being a part of it. Baseball started with 9 players on the field and the same 9 players hitting. Rules changed for one league and not the other...So- not really in the same conversation...
Anyway- was hoping we would have it as it makes our lineup that much easier. I guess losing Cano really does help with that now
Two words: negotiation tactic.
The MLBPA wants the universal DH. MLB is sending the clear signal that the MLBPA is not going to get it for free. The quid pro quo is expanded playoffs.

I suspect this is the truth...There really is no reason for not having it anymore. I am guessing most NL fans like myself actually enjoyed it last year
Must be boring as $hit in the off season Yankee thread,{ is there even one, or has it just fallen off the front page again} since we are getting infected by the 3 Amigos.
Wasn't the DH brought into the American League because it had an abundance of aging, over the hill stars, and the National League, had an exciting brand of stars and was out drawing the American League by a huge margin? Sorry, the DH blows, you might as well add a 10th fielder like a Men's Softball League!
For us Met fans- I keep going back to T Bauer and what he may command. I really have to ask myself this if I am Sandy or Cohen...Is he the pitcher that prior to the shortened 2020 season only had one season under a 4.18 era? Or is he all of a sudden with 11 starts a top 10 pitcher who is a must get?
I almost feel I try the Kluber/Tanaka/PAxton type of route instead of dropping $25+ on Bauer. Go less on one of these other guys with less years, extend deGrom with some extra cash and start locking up Noah, Conforto, McNeil, etc...give Lugo a bump too as he has earned every dollar and more and at some point someone is going to offer the guy starting $$$

I became a supporter of the DH about 5 years ago. Too much risk having your big time pitchers get hurt running the bases or swinging the bat.
A related topic is roster size. 28 or 26? Obviously the union wants 28. Will they consent to playoff expansion in order to get it?
I thought the Yankees were in the running for Realmuto while still attempting to re-sign LeMahieu?

The love Cashman has for Hicks has always left me baffled. I'm now guessing he thought he made out, because 70 million for 10 years is cheap. I believe Hicks took it as security for him and his family And the way he looks at it now is " I'll have some fun and stay healthy and have a stress...

I haven't heard that they even talked to his agent. Never heard them seriously in the mix. McCann seems to be on everyone's radar along with Molina.
Mets add to their collection of pitching Trevors. Sign Trevor Hildenberger to a minor league contract. Was in Boston camp in 2020 but never activated. Pitched parts of the prior three years in Minnesota, where Jeremy Hefner knew (and apparently was impressed by) him. Made 73 appearances with 7 saves in 2018, so there's that.
That's two Trevors so far. Will there be a third?
