OT: NY Mets spring training thread

[Zak57]

Btw- not posting to troll but didn’t want to make a thread to ask this of @Tango Two
Why isn’t there a Yankee spring season thread.

And guys- don’t turn it into a troll- I am seriously asking. We usually seem similar threads at the same time for all of the professional leagues.

One was started but white bus ignored it and started the season thread. I was thinking of doing the same thing once tango started posting all the stupid articles.

Verlander and Scherzer. Acuna, Clifford, and Gilbert.

I’m forgetting- Verlander and Max were trades. Again, I moved so far past both, I thought they were FA. And Acuna, Clifford and Gilbert all still have a shot but I am also not sure if anyone we gave up for them is much better.

In addition to the three prospects you mention, three other prospects obtained at the 2023 deadline are in the Mets MLB Pipeline Top 30:

#4 Ryan Clifford - for Justin Verlander
#7 Luisangel Acuna - for Max Scherzer
#11 Drew Gilbert - for Justin Verlander
#12 Jeremy Rodriguez - for Tommy Pham
#15 Marco Vargas - for David Robertson
#27 Ronald Hernandez - for David Robertson

I get it now- what we got back.
I am 100% ok with the returns…I liked getting both pitchers but also have nothing to say except losing cash on their returns…
Their returns are all pretty much at the top of our prospects

One other note about the 2023 fire sale: In the Eduardo Escobar trade, the Mets got a pitcher named Coleman Crow. They then flipped Crow to the Brewers, and got Tyrone Taylor and Adrian Hauser. That was pretty much a salary dump on the Brewers part, and whatever they brought back was a bonus.

Not sure how that happened after the clownshow Ruf trade 🤷‍♂️
