OT: New York Mets 2023-2024 Off Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Why lol ? I’d take him. We need an ace. We don’t have a pitcher at top of rotation.
Don’t expect it to occur or even considered or even discussed on Seaver Way however.
To the best of my knowledge- weren’t all charges dropped?
Bauer is trying to reestablish his credibility

Lol because of all of the jabber from him last time he was a free agent using the Mets to get the Dodgers contract
Fair enough but we need a front line starter. Just like Severino and Bader , I’m sure we can sign Bauer to a 1-2 year deal and continue with the “ low risk / high reward” strategy.
Ok- so….this girl tgat he got in trouble with. We find out- details didn’t change much about him but she was ok with it to set his sorry disgusting ass up.
He just wants girls that are ok with all the sick shit…
And let’s say none of that happened- not sure he was worth it before it all came out and then he was a complete dick…
F- him
People change. Sometimes you need a kick in the ass to realize it which hopefully occurred with Bauer.
I assume this is sarcasm? Cause I'd be surprised if Guillorme gets to .700, never mind .900.
Ok- “with consent” he likes to beat and choke women
50 shades or not…- just not a good person.
Baseball- I didn’t want him in 2021 for so many reasons. Now, if Dodgers are picking up almost all of it.,.I would do it…but, that is just baseball speak and not him as a person
Bauer is a free agent. The Dodgers released him at the start of 2023, and paid off the final year of his contract. They have no further liability.
He played in Japan last year.
Don't love the opt-out. Rotation will have to be rebuilt again in 2025. Of course some minor league arms may be ready by then.
Sean Maneaa - ugh.
He had tons of potential with Oakland and then his career went south and his belly expanded west.
Senga. - Quintana - Severino - Maneaa - Houser.

The Mets are now loaded with 4th and 5th starters. Cohen is just Wilpon with more money.
One other thought - with the signing of Bader, the 40-man is now at its limit of 40. So the Manaea signing, plus any which follow, must result in trying to get somebody through waivers.
The 2023 deadwood has pretty much all been purged from the 40 man. We would need to drop on of the many 2024 under the radar guys whom we're taking a flyer on.

There's still a lot of dead weight then can remove. With that Castillo pick up they can start with Zack Short.
Good read here on Manaea from a couple of days ago.

Why a pitcher with a 4.44 ERA in 2023 could turn into one of MLB's best under-the-radar signings this winter
There are plenty of reasons to believe Sean Manaea can be a key part of a contender's pitching staff

It could be one of the dumbest comparisons ever. Remind me when the Wilpons had the #1 payroll in baseball by far? Yes it wasn't spent well but the desire to win is in another stratosphere compared to them.
While I don't know that the Wilpon Mets were ever #1 in spending, they were consistently up there until the Madoff house of cards collapsed. They just weren't very good at it. Remember The Worst Team Money Could Buy? And Omar's spending sprees, when he put the Minaya in Maniacal?
Yes and they were still not #1. And that's not including the luxury tax money bill. It's an awful comparison.
Yes, but he also started less often last year and threw fewer innings as he wafted between the bullpen and a starting role. Fewer innings and shorter looks can contribute to velocity and the success of a new pitch like a sweeper.
That said, I like Stearns, and we didn’t hire him so that he could simply put into effect the moves already written about in thousands of amateur articles and blogs that pass for press these days.
Stearns’s success will ultimately hinge on whether he can fix/upgrade the Mets system while making smart maneuvers to bolster the roster, and not whether he can outbid other teams for hot or established players. He may do some of the latter, but to succeed he must absolutely do the former.

Welp, when I played…our 1 or 2 against your 4th or 5th.
We win
I agree but in these days- even most 1 and 2’s are only going 6 innings. Evens it up a little.
In your day- 1/2’s we’re going 8-15 innings…4/5’s could only get you to 6.
In today’s game- you see a guy go 6 innings and it was a good start if he only gave up 3-4 runs. lol
Let’s see if they immediately change the deferral rules, like they would if Uncle Stevie was doing this.
Yeah Doc was a penned in W against a 4/5 (or 1/2/3 for that matter). Still watched every pitch lol
It will be interesting to see what does happen down the road when the deferrals come due.
But you are right, if Cohen did this- rules would change and be retroactive
The Mets also just signed, ok, not sure where I am going with this but when the F did we really become small market.
I get it and long run, maybe better for Stearns career- but he will lose this fan base faster than anyone in history if this continues and we trade or lose Alonso.
