Thick is being the last team in NY to make it to a world series...
Dude, go find your Yankee playoff thread and post there. We can get back to talking about the Met's and all is good my friend.
I would love to find a taker for Cano, even if it means putting in most of his salary. With the Seattle $$$ we really only owe him $12 mil per year. He had a good year here and may we may find a taker. Not really expecting much back but moving Cano would allow us to play Gimenz / Rosario or Gimenz / McNeil middle infield. I prefer McNeil at 2b rather than the OF. The bonus would be being able to keep Davis at 3B. Moving Cano would be a priority for me along with signing Realmuto and a pitcher. Cano is clogging up the infield and if he stays we probably have to move Davis as McNeil would play 3B, Smith LF, and Polar Bear at 1B. This is all based on the assumption the NL goes back to no DH.
From Cohen's standpoint we owe Cano $20.25M per year. We pay his $24M base salary, and Seattle sends us $3.75M per year. The rest of the savings came in the form of Seattle assuming the contracts of Bruce and Swarzak. That is done, and does not enter into Cohen's calculus going forward.
UNLESS... the Seattle deal was that they paid the $3.75M annual rebate in advance. In that case, the Wilpons have pocketed that money, and Cohen is on the hook for the full $24M per year.
All of that said, I think the DH is here to stay, which does change things.
As long as we never have to hear his contract gets in the way of us making a big signing...then, I am 100% ok with him on the team and more so if there is a DH. If they use his $$$ as an excuse, that is the only problem.
At least your out in the light of day, but where's the rest of The 3 Amigos? Like I said, you've lowered your own bar, rooting for the new Mr. October must be so hard. I'll help you out,Kbee, note to self, just stay one step ahead of the Mets, and all is good, because that's all you've done the past 11 years.😁 😁
It works for me.
BTW, one of the few saving graces of being a Mets fan is that the expectations are so low to begin with.
And didn't your team finish in last place again ?
I thought when we say we were in the WS in 15 that 2nd place is the same as last...
Now, you are just happy your Yankees make the playoffs at just barely above .500
go back to your Yankee playoff thread.
LMAO, he constantly contradicts himself. Yankee goals for their fans have fallen so far, so true. 🤪
Post article today says Cohen will invest heavily in the front office, revamp and fully fund the analytics staff and spend $$$ on international players. Seems like he is serious about long term success. He expects to lose $400,000,000.00 over the next two years but considers it to be an investment for the future. It's Amazing, no pun intended, the Wilpons got as far as they did with this club.
Ok- simple bet...if the Cohen purchase goes through...Mets reach WS before the Yankees. $100
Wow, is this what i looked like when I used to post this much in the Evil empire thread? Where is { Proud the Mush} & superfan{douche?}???
you realize in this thread...you have 2 Met posts and 10 Yankee or Amigo posts? Let these guys talk to themselves. I have to do the same myself...
Lol, As long as you realize you've been drawn in also, but I didn't take the time to count yours, lol
One thing to consider. Bauer and Cole were UCLA teammates and do not get along at all.
Lol, Just counted your doing slightly better than me, in this thread you've posted 6 Mets post and 10 Yankee or Amigo posts.
Where does Davis play if everyone is healthy?
He has nowhere to play if there's no DH.
Are you saying the Mets are about to head on the much-condemned course of attempting to buy a championship ?
I thought that Mets fans disdained such unfair tactics.
Did you read the last line of my post?Lol, Just counted your doing slightly better than me, in this thread you've posted 6 Mets post and 10 Yankee or Amigo posts.
And going back through, I do get sucked back in but most of my “non” Mets posts you counted still had Met content in it...or telling the amigos to go back to thread.
anyway- we may have an excited off season ahead. Time to enjoy it for a change.
Why would anyone Kevin McReynolds? He was the automatic double play everytime he came up.
Davis reminds me much more of a Howard Johnson type guy. A little less power and speed but better contact hitter. Hard nosed Baseball player though that can be a solid force in any lineup.
That's not how I remember McReynolds, in fact I remember Davey Johnson saying what a solid player he was.
Well, it sure as hell hasn't worked for the last 11 years for your team, so I'm sure Cohen will use some sort of highbred, a mix of all things the Mets haven't used in recent years. Either way, I can see your already worried, lmfao.
KM was just a super solid player both in the field and at bat. Not a superstar by any means but a guy that is good on any team. a .275/25HR/90 RBI with 15-20 SB as well - pretty solid in the field too
1 bad year with hitting in DP but usually pretty normal 6-8 per year

Kevin McReynolds career stays
Not bad between ‘84-90.
Solid but hopefully Davis can hit around .285/.290
I had to look up McReynolds stats earlier and was admittedly stunned by his Mets stats. Just one of those players I was never impressed with at the time (I think my expectations were way out of whack).
It is funny- I remember him as solid but when I went back and looked at his Met's career- he was well above solid for those days. Different era...he may have been a beast if he played now. lol But maybe one of the better 4-5 year runs for a Met's hitter
And another chuckle at LAD having home field advantage for that series in '88 after whipping their tail all year and having a better record. All flipped in '86 when the tomfoolery of MLB gave the Astros (the West) home field because of an Oilers home game. I mean really???
Exactly, I don't get the hate from Tico. Give me an outfield across the board of .275/25HR/90RBI with 20 SB, and I'd be happy.
I think the Mets should consider him as a coach after his playing days. He is a great clubhouse person, he's local and would help and relate to the younger players. He's always conducted himself with class. You can never have too many people in your organization with those attributes.
Gotta love the Toddfather.
