OT: New York Mets 2024-2025 Off Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
If this is the case-, then a true 3/75 is a fair offer. I’m not sure that either side is telling the truth.
Boras knows the Mets are bidding against theirselves and the Met’s know the same.
How would the Mets treat Keith Hernandez during talks for a new contract? Would they devalue his WAR as a way not to give him his worth? IMO, 1B is undervalued when think about it. A good 1B makes the infield look great if he handles the throws.
How this one?
Santander was harmed greatly by the increased dimensions of Camden Yards,hitting only.218 at home last season.
"There are more things in heaven and earth,Horatio,that is dreamt of in your philosophy."
They would’ve told Hernandez to hit with a launch angle or he’d be out of baseball in 3 years
Well at least this one is about baseball. Even if it doesn't really relate to the Mets.

A 10 time world champion including 5 in a row….Told me you’ll never drive in as many as you let in if you can’t play defense.
One outstanding defensive play with 2 outs and the bases loaded is like driving in 3 runs.
Only a complete idiot wouldn’t value the impact a solid defensive 1st baseman has.
Mattingly when he was healthy and Keith, turned double plays and made bunt plays that changed games.

The Mets must not value what Alonso would bring to the table and are assuming he's in a dramatic decline.
If not and this is a negotiating tactic, it's not best practice to bust your hometown boy's' balls over a few million dollars a year on a 3 year contract. It's not like that money is going to prevent them from signing anyone else, nor do they actually care about what tax level they will end up.

Interesting vote progression for Wagner. His first year on the ballot (2016) he only got 10.5% of the vote. The next year it actually went down to 10.2%. But it went steadily up each year after that, and he made it in his final year of eligibility.
Will Wright have a similar progression? He is at 8.1% after two years. IMO, in order to have a shot, he will need to be at 25% after four years and 50% after seven.
To me the interesting one to watch is Andruw Jones. 66.2% after eight years.
LOL at SNY's scroll reporting tonight. On their scroll, they referred to Ichiro as a "former Yankee". A true statement, but really?
Wright was a good player but not a HOFer. Too bad his injuries prevented him from becoming one.
100% about length of time playing healthy. His first 6-7 years were about as good as it gets.
Yeah if his back doesn't give out he is well on his way to HoF. The other thing was the dumb ass Wilpons having Citi designed the way they did. They took his biggest strength with the bat with his corner power and made it 10X more tough on him moving those walls back even further. Shea was a pitchers park and when Citi opened it became even more cavernous.
Yeah that's a bit ridiculous! I didn't even remember that he played 2 years with the Marlins also.
I still remember Fred Wilpon saying that, while he's not a baseball expert, he does know pitching, and then opening Citi Field with that enormous field. Dumb move. They did a nice job moving in the fences a couple of times, and it's a great stadium. So he got that right. And selling the team. He got that right too.
Baseball America released their top 100 prospects today.
#58 - Jett Williams
#61 - Brandon Sproat
#92- Jesus Baez
#99 - Nolan McLean
Ronny Mauricio was in their 15 who just missed list. The only other Mets prospects to receive a vote after that were Ryan Clifford and Jonah Tong.

I'd say Hernandez, Reyes, Beltran, Delgado, Strawberry all have much stronger cases for the HOF than Wright due to his short window of productivity due to the injuries.
I do think that with guys like Rolan and Ozzy in the HOF- Hernandez should be in. David, Straw and Jose all had 6 great years that are HOF worthy. So similar but all three are good players but not HOF.
Delgado- you made me look and I have to really ask how the hell is he not in the HOF. He had 11-12 great seasons.
Delgado was one and done. In 2015, his first year on the ballot, he only got 3.8% of the vote. Adios.
It's a shame he didn't make the initial 5% cut. If he had, I think he would have built up momentum. Probably wouldn't have made it, but would've been in the conversation.
By contrast, Andruw Jones barely survived his initial year (2018) with 7.3% of the vote. And he has a great chance to make it before his eligibility expires in 2027.
His 162 game average over 17 years is 99 runs, 38D 38HR 120 RBi .280. .373 .929
These numbers are insane. Did he do something that pissed writers off?
Who was the as$wipe that voted against Ichiro? Was it only to keep him from matching Rivera's unanimous HOF ballot or did he really think he didn't deserve it? To me this is a real pus$y move that the writers allow this- - The identity of the lone voter who did not select Ichiro wasn't immediately known. BWAA Voters decide whether they want their votes to be listed publicly. Have some nads, state your name and tell us the reason you did this.

Until Rivera, no one had been unanimous. And unless you're declaring Rivera by far the best player in the history of baseball, it's been unfair for decades. Babe Ruth wasn't unanimous. Lou Gehrig. Tom Seaver. It goes on and on. It's almost tradition of silliness.
silly rumor is it was a writer whose ex cheated on him with a Japanese chef lol
It is weird unless all of these guys are talking before voting. What is half of them decide to be just that one guy leaving him off the vote. There should have been 50 unanimous HoF by now.
100% agree. When you think of all the greats in fielding, pitching, hitting for average and power it's insane there haven't been more. To take it a step further, those that should be in the HOF but didn't play nice with the press is another piece of bullspit.
Some rumors swirling that the Blue Jays and Alonso are advancing talks... I need to come to reality that Pete is probably gone. I'm totally bummed and disagree with it, especially if he was willing to take 3 years.
If he goes anywhere, I guess I sort of hope it's Toronto, a team that's very far out of sight out of mind and I won't think about much at all.
