This is why I don’t have TwitterThis forum isn't as bad as Twitter. Mets fans tend to get salty quickly. Cespedes is trending on Twitter, and there is nonsense like this:

@nutfromSEC117 sadly I just don’t think it happens.
Good point. Properly filtered, Twitter can be great. Most of my Twitter feed are exercise and diet people, and it has been an invaluable source of information on great papers, podcasts, videos, etc. Mets and Rutgers stuff is like here, a diversion and entertainment. I don't engage with Mets people on Twitter. For Rutgers, sometimes.This is why I don’t have Twitter
Looks like you were right.Game over
If you believe the reports, he was never going to be on the Mets. They were going to flip him to the Cubs. Moot now of course.Wish he was on the Mets and not Dom 🤦♂️
That was my understanding too, but now we just suffer and watch him continue to rake against usIf you believe the reports, he was never going to be on the Mets. They were going to flip him to the Cubs. Moot now of course.
Players are human, and it plays with your mind when you hear stuff like being traded. Most of what is out there is just rumors, but players don't know what's true or not. Remember Wilmer Flores and how much all the stuff around him impacted him. These guys are fully invested in being a member of the Mets.Man- our entire starting staff has been deGrommed over the past 2 weeks- our guys have pitched 11 games to under a 1.60 era and show a 3-3 record. To make it worse- the entire staff era is 2.14 in that same span. and only a 6-5 record.
BTW- McNeil either has to sit or be confirmed he isn't getting traded...Looks like such a different player. First 50 games, his swing and approach looked slump proof. LAst 30 games or so- maybe the worst hitter in baseball.
This is what happened with Hosmer last season. Even added Frazier who was an obvious addition with plans to deal Hosmer before he was actually dealt. Screwed the entire team up.BTW- McNeil either has to sit or be confirmed he isn't getting traded...Looks like such a different player. First 50 games, his swing and approach looked slump proof.

That and combined with personal stuff, and that can get in the way too. Hosmer got engaged after the 2020 season and got married last year. McNeil and his wife just had their first kid. Some will deny it, but big off the field events like marriage and babies have an impact too. Players have lives outside of baseball.This is what happened with Hosmer last season.

It’s crazy how open MLB talks are about trades, you would think front offices would keep this stuff under wraps.

Phils get two back as Matt Olson pulls a Bill Buckner.Phillies are garbage
Rhys almost misses touching bag and has pee wee league footwork on a throw from 3rd which he whiffed on catching leading to 3 runs
I have no idea how to defend THIS hop. 🥴Phils get two back as Matt Olson pulls a Bill Buckner.
Wow, that one had some "english" on it!
I just don't know if I have ever said that I want the Phils to sweep any seriesWow, that one had some "english" on it!
They almost make John Kruk bearable… ALMOST.Finally found a station to watch the game where I dont have to subject myself to those Braves announcers. I swear they are the worst I've ever heard.
I just don't know if I have ever said that I want the Phils to sweep any series
M- Fing yes! Good start196 hitting Stott hits a 3 run HR !!
There is certainly a lot of smoke in the Twitterverse. Mancini is not in the O's lineup tonight, so there's that.Are the Trey Mancini to the Mets rumors true?
FWIW, Dillon Tate did pitch an inning tonight.
