OT: MLB Thread XLV

[BMOK33]

Firing the GM while negotiating a deal to sell the team is perhaps not a great idea.

I think new ownership would fire him anyhow so it’s probably not really a major issue for them. I personally feel even Rojas isn’t safe

Yeah I would think at this point you would kind of maybe just want to remain the status quo through the end of the year, and then let new owners come in and do whatever they want. Maybe do something like extend Conforto because that's added value to the team--there are minimal payroll commitments moving forward. Otherwise, just tell BVW he can only make minor moves and then play it out.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Never mind

lol, Fred speaking about disappointment while the fans voice of disappointment falls on his deaf ears.

why? The P@L has already been shared along with the mountain of debt which has been refinanced multiple times. This is a business opportunity in hopes of maximizing the investment.

Big picture, the investor knows they will replace all the players and staff over time yet the investor needs the team first. What’s on the field today doesn’t really matter. Not to mention, a GM.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Every time I’m like eh I think people are making too big a deal of this Mets story, I end up with egg on my face. Lol. It never fails.

any potential owner that wouldn't immediately fire this clown is not someone i want buying the team anyway

Eh. I don't know. Any competent owner/would-be buyer would fire Brodie the minute he or she takes control. I don't think BVW changes the value of the team or the asking price for the team either way.

 

[nyr2k2]

I just don't see the value in firing him, naming an interim GM, and then firing that interim GM after the sale. For the sake of the guys that are still here and still playing hard every day, I think you just leave everything as-is until the season is done. No need to blow it all up now. Let the guys play, the coaches coach, and tell BVW he's not allowed to do anything substantial.

Then when the season is over and the sale is complete, do whatever.

Fair enough. But I don't see the value of firing Brodie now whether the team is for sale or not.

the value is that brodie can't do anything stupid at the trade deadline trying to save his job

To be clear, I don't either. I'd rather they just ride it out.

Yeah I understand that fear, but the reality is the Wilpons are meddlers and would jump in if they didn't like what he was about to do. And if they themselves supported something stupid, then they'd find someone to get it done if Brodie wouldn't. Like the Cano deal, I absolutely believe the Wilpons both supported and encouraged that deal, and if they didn't like it, it wouldn't have happened. I mean you had Jeff out there saying they did it to block the Phillies from getting Diaz. Well that's cool, but the move was a lot more bullshit than that. It has Wilpon-stank all over it.

Just saying--stupid moves will be made as long as the Wilpons are around and using their front office like puppets. Doesn't matter if it's BVW or an interim guy, they call the shots and will ultimately determine whether the team makes stupid additions or does nothing. IMO.

That game 1 Yankees lineup is something you send to Fort Myers to play Boston in the spring.

If this is going to be Judge for his career, then lets keep him around for his Arbitration years, then move on. We can't have him miss 50-60 games every season on a 10-year mega deal.

When has lack of value stopped the Wilpons from doing something dumb.

Hopefully they’re leaving cameras on everywhere. They can get Manafred fired and destroy the Wilpons in the process. Everyone will love the Mets. La resistancé

I'm just wondering where the 'lol Mets' part happens in this scenario that will inevitably happen.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Mets already losing to the Yanks. Why waste time? Give them the lead before getting an out.

the next Commish awards the team to A-Rod and JLo after reports surface that Cohen plotted it all

Andujar is like a little leaguer defensively.

The Yankees are a dumpster fire right now.

Monte deserved so much better.He pitched his ass off

Unreal.Green cant hit his spots

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Mets go back to back to back!

Edit: 3 shots in the inning but only the last 2 were back to back.
