OT: NY Mets spring training thread

[Rhuarc]

It is quite possible that in 2024, Iglesias will have a career average season. That would a 91 OPS+, which by definition is below MLB average. For a glove-first utility player, a 91 OPS+ is quite acceptable.

But there is no way on God's green earth that he is repeating last year's offensive output. I say that BECAUSE of the analytics.

We do not have a 105 scholarship limit. Acquiring Iglesias means a younger player with a higher ceiling doesn't get a shot.

Again, if you can somehow move Marte or McNeil, I will change my tune.

What team would be dumb enough to take on Mart or McNeil with their salaries, lack of production and/or injury history? This is an example of sunk costs and you hope and pray you can get something out of them while they're there. Their salaries aren't that crazy that you can't absorb them and still make moves.
