Dale- I have no idea, but have there been any new changes to the park over the past decade or two that make any more hitter friendly?
I don’t know anything about the new park they play in now.
It is a beautiful park and while prone to the generally cool SF weather, I don’t get the sense it is as bad as Candlestick was.
I think I saw that too- For Pete- it has to be all about the HR and after that, the lineup around him and then, more on a personal level- the relationship with the city and fans.
There’s a big difference between cool and freezing 😊
Remember when the Giants came up with the “Croix de Candlestick” medal for fans who stuck it out for a certain number of night games or extra innings.

Not a bad plan at all for him. Will be interesting to see what he does. I doubt it will last until Spring Training starts.
Any 1 year deal is a good one for the Mets. The cost is almost irrelevant.
No chance of that.
I've often heard that if Candlestick was moved slightly the winds wouldn't have been as bad as they were, but had to be built where it was to make it earthquake proof -- and the Giants owner approved the site only being there in the morning when the winds aren't as bad.
sign Pete for like 4 years and go all out for Vladdy
Question on Vlad- how is his defense and how is he on the bases? We sign Pete to 4 or more years and we already have 2 DH 3 years from now...Though, a lineup with Nimmo, Soto, Lindor, Vlad, Pete, Vientos would be about as sick a lineup as you could get.
Speaking of the Wilpons- I had heard that Bernie Victim's have now recovered just over 92% of the money they lost to him
It's funny to use the description of "aged" for a 26 y/o.

Well if he’s still with Brooklyn, that’s someone to keep our eye on when Cyclones play the BlueClaws.
NY Mets prospect Jonah Tong is a rising star you need to know
When the New York Mets selected Jonah Tong in the 7th round of the MLB Draft, few could have anticipated the rapid strides he’d make in such a short time. Now r
Sort of. His FB plays up a lot because he has crazy arm extension and he gets big movement on it. It's usually in the 92-95 range but can pop up. His CB is his next pitch which he plays well off the FB and has some bite to it. SL and CU after that which are works in progress.

A lot of pitchers like this used to climb the ranks fast but in today's game- it seems you need to be hitting 98+ and 12+ k's per 9 innings to move up
The article about Luis Moreno was actually funny with the reference that he is "just 25 years old". To have just barely cracked AAA level (3 appearances last years) at that age, he's hardly considered young. He's not found on any top prospects list, although he may be soon. He didn't make his Dominican Summer League debut until age 20. That's a league in which the top prospects debut at age 16. Maybe he is a late bloomer and the Mets have something here.
Yeah- BoSox have already stated they are sticking with the kid Casas at 1B...toronto still has Vlad on their payroll...and if the writer is using those two as his big names in the article, I am sure most of the 8 teams interested are the ones we already knew of that have signed the other 1B FA's...Pete may end up somewhere else but it was a lazy articleLook out, Mets! Pete Alonso’s contract demands leaked, and eight teams are interested
