OT: New York Mets 2024-2025 Off Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
yeah- but the money is good even if you have to play for the little sister in NY 😜
Yankees threw in tickets to the pinstripe bowl as contractural bonus
The Athletic reporting that Mets and Padres are favorites for Sasaki.

So- for us Met's fans- what do we do if Pete goes elsewhere and we make no significant additional offensive moves? Would it be worth it to try to trade for Arenado? Because our lineup may start out very good but get past our cleanup hitter- it is very bad.
I don't love the idea of acquiring Arenado. He has three years left and appears to be on the downside. This would have a Starling Marte feel to me.
I don't mind not getting him as long as we can get a good starter on the market. It was projected that we'd give up Acuna, Parada, Clifford and one other top prospect to get him which is just too rich. Acuna I wouldn't be surprised if he's all-star caliber sooner than later.
for the money- just sign Pete...
What worries me is that our lineup starts like a WS winner with Nimmo, Soto, Lindor Vientos.
Then we need bounce backs from McNeil, Marte and Alvarez
and then we will have a very below average to bad hitting number 8 and 9.
SP is still weak and no idea what our BP really is.
Are they going to hope Acuna plays like his last month and or Mauricio comes back from injury and plays lights out or that Baby finally gets it?
plus if you are going to go after a 3rd baseman, why not just go hard after Bregman instead, just work with Boras and bang out Manaea, Bregman, and Polar Bear
3B is only a question if we DONT sign Pete- if we sign Pete- the corners are locked in. I would't sign Bregman regardless- his numbers have been going down and he plays in a bandbox
Loaisiga re-signed with the Yankees ...a one-year deal.
If he's healthy he could fill a key bullpen slot.
Just as nj.com will steal an idea or a concept from this site, some of the sports websites steal from unknown and unreliable Instagram people. Sports Illustrated website ran with the story about Loaisga without ever quoting a source. It seemed very similar to the Mike Rodriguez posting.
yeah my point is IF we are going to bring in a 3B, don't be giving away prospects for a guy reaching his mid-30s. Better to sign a FA who is not only younger, but a better bat than him and WS clutch player as well.
Do we know the status of Mauricio- if he is healthy, maybe he and Baty battle it out for 3B and Vientos at 1B.
I would hate it myself but.,,
And if Acuna keeps up the play he showed us- is he a viable OF?
Acuna got 31 starts in CF for Syracuse last year.
I wouldn't mind at all if we got back Alonso and then play our young studs. Have a good feeling about Ronny and Acuna, they both looked like future stars in their few moments. Baty hard to say after the last few call ups, but might as well see what we've got, else trade him.
My perfect world after Sosa- We bring Pete back and move either McNeil or Marte.
And Mauricio and Acuna become the real deal and if we need to put Baty into a package while moving McNeil or Marte- so be it...Unless- McNeil goes back to understanding he does not have to hit 10+ HR and starts slapping the ball all over the place to a .310+ BA...But I don't think the Alonso market is what he hoped it would be...And he has to understand how much more he earns and gets by staying a Met than going anywhere else.
I would move Marte before moving McNeil. Marte, of late, has been on the IL more often than not. McNeil gives you a player who can play multiple positions and is solid in those positions. Baty and Marte (eat some of his money) should be moved for pitching help.

Keep McNeil , can play multiple positions and I wouldn’t be able to bust out this gif after a big hit 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Spoken like a truly pathetic Yankees fan!!Congrats on signing Bartolo Colon Jr.
Don't get mad at me. I didn't make him eat that much. Also, big speculation that Soto is actually a "Dominican Republic" 26 years old, which means closer to 30. Enjoy!
