Heads up, fellas!
RIP Whitey Ford. "The Chairman of the Board"
A Yankee, but also a Long Islander. As great a man as he was a pitcher.

Honestly, I think it'll happen even quicker because the Mets won't have any problems actually signing top FAs, which is still a problem for the Isles.Need a Malkin & Ledecky type turn around for the Mets and Stevie Cohen
Did you guys watch the press conference? It's on SNY's YT channel if you haven't.
It is by far the greatest 90 minutes the Mets have ever had off the field. Steve Cohen & Sandy Alderson are going to turn us into a juggernaut. I'm so freaking excited this has happened to the Mets.
To anyone who hasn't watched it yet, just imagine 90 minutes of hearing an owner & team president speak and every single thing they say is exactly what you want them to say. Simultaneously, the feeling you get is that they aren't saying those things because they know that's what you want to hear, but rather because that is how they are going to operate the team. This is amazing.
Easy for me to spend this guys money.
But he mentioned starting pitching and catcher. I know there is a report out there that realmuto doesn't want to play in NY, and I'm ok with passing on him. I'm totally cool with them going after James McCann and have him and Nido split the time say 75/25.
I also hope Stroman accepts his QO and stays with us. I think it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that Bauer will be a Met. Sandy said on WFAN that he likes Bauers personality and thinks he'd be a good fit in NY. DeGrom, Thor, Bauer, Stroman, Matz/Peterson is a really solid 1-5 with potential to be even better should Bauer duplicate last year.
Hell while I'm at it, let's sign George Springer and just for funsies, let's also trade for Lindor.
WE SHOPPING IN THE GOURMET AISLE NOW BOYS!!!
Oh, and please please please please please have the DH again. It's such a better product. To hell with bunting and double switching and removing pitchers in the 5th or 6th inning only to have a pinch hitter strike out. Plus it just really benefits the Mets these days with so many players playing out of position.
Oh, and just give Conforto his contract now. No need to wait. He's our best all around player. Give him his $.
I also hope Stroman accepts his QO and stays with us.

well they will try Matz in the pen before they just dump him for nothing. There's no point in trading him at his lowest point also.For the love of God get Steven Matz the hell out of here!
Give me Bauer, McCann, Springer, Hand, and trade for Yu Darvish(Cubbies looking to trim payroll).
DeGrom, Bauer, Darvish, Thor(when he gets back), Stroman and Peterson is a REALLY solid starting staff.

So you're saying that the probable top 3 vote getters for the 2020 NL Cy Young would make a really solid starting staff together?
Sidd Finch. He'll be a stellar addition. Just gotta coax him out of retirement
McCann is our guy to get. I agree. As good as Realmuto is, I don't want any part of him in 4 years. James McCann is a really good defensive catcher and he can hit a bit too. Get him and have him split time with Nido.Bauer, Lindor, and Springer or bust!!! I'll pass on JT though. Honestly, I just want a catcher who can be counted on to throw a runner out. Not every one of our C's needs to be Hundley, Piazza, Lo Duca, etc. Just give me a good thrower and game caller.

Not a fan at all of that rumor they contacted Molina. 38 years old? Unless they think that Nido is our catcher of the future, then I see no point in bringing in a 38 year old Molina.
