OT: New York Mets 2022-2023 Off Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
No state income tax really helps, especially for someone trying to maximize every penny (which sounded like DeGrom’s POV).
I wonder what the terms of the option year are. If it's a vesting option, I assume it kicks in if Verlander meets certain performance metrics.
Oh OK. So...
If Verlander doesn't pitch 140 innings in 2024, then the contract expires. If he does, then he has the option to return in 2025 for $35M.

Doubt Jake pitches 140 innings a year. I love this deal
Did you ever think deGrom wanted to leave? Of course not, it wouldn't fit the $hit you and kbee are trying to sell. Go sell crazy somewhere else and hope Judge stays, because I'll be over to talk,lol
Mets trying to buy a championship i see. They have become everything their fanbase have rallied against for decades. Sad to see them sellout
If he hits 140 he's definitely returning for the 3rd year. The option kicks in at that point.
That doesn't sound right. If it's a player option, which locks in at 140 innings, then Verlander is actually giving something up by reaching the innings target.
It's not a player option. It's a vesting option. He gets his 3rd guaranteed year if he is healthy and good enough to hit the 140 IP.
Yippee!! Work day's so crap, my nephew (not a Mets fan) broke the news to me just now by text. At least I got him on the Celtics/Cowboys, but I'm still working on the Mets. :)
This explains a lot about degrom in 22.
Best of luck to him.
Nimmo might be one of those who will go off in 23. But if he doesn’t want to be here as well: Bye.
Hope Verlanders age don’t bite the Mets on the ass like degrom and Max. We’ll see.
Hope they get someone better than Bassitt. Remember, the Mets rotation was built for that last weekend in Atlanta and they 💩 their pants that weekend. I hope history don’t repeat itself.
This would be my concern if I were a Met fan.
It just seems like the Mets are loading up on big names, but are questionable to be able to hold up on a deep playoff run
I was glad to see deGrom go and am not very excited about the Scherzer pickup.
But... boobs is boobs. Also, apparently Kate has been known to be hostile towards Phillies fans. So bonus.

Mets weren’t going 11-300 for Turner.
And 2B/SS not an area of need. So, rather have either deGrom or Verlander, get another mid level starter, load up on BP and if they can’t keep Nimmo- get an OF…

TT- to Phil’s does hurt though.
Their lineup is loaded. Would have rather see him go anywhere but NL east.

You want Tre to pitch? Zero issue with Verlander on a 2 year deal with possible third year.
They have a great lineup but I still think they have some holes. Harper is out until at least the AS break which means you are playing both Castellanos and Schwarber in the OF which is not ideal defensively. Their bullpen is still a problem and Robertson is a FA. Obviously Turner is a huge upgrade for the middle infield and a real gamer which makes them better but they are not yet a complete team. Neither are the Mets for that matter and both the Mets and Phils have work to do to match the Braves.
Marte is a better centerfielder than Nimmo. Marte was an all-star at that position. The knock on Nimmo is his lack of an arm. Runners like to take an extra base on balls in the gap. Still, the ideal situation is for Nimmo to stay because he's one heckuva lead-off guy.
I don't think he is anymore. Agree about the arm though. Mets don't want Marte in CF even with Nimmo leaving.
