Yes

 

[East Coast Bias]

Oh yeah. Right into my veins.

 

[Irishguy42]

EDIT: nvm

 

[sbjnyc]

Not just Brodie.

 

[JimmyG89]

Wasting no time gutting the front office. If I had to bet on anything, Cano is done here too. If he can dump him with the front office, he probably would have.

Next is finding an actually competent GM that will not just throw prospects away. Sandy is going to run things for now, but they'll need a GM and President of Baseball ops as well.

This is the best news a Mets fan could have asked for one things went final. He knew immediately who he wanted out. Not going to be hard to get someone better.

 

[Crease]

Love it.

 

[Bob Richards]

See ya.

 

[Leetch3]

I’m a bit surprised that Omar didn’t survive. I figured he’d be part of the new front office

Rumors are that Sandy was not happy being forced to coexist with Minaya when Fred brought him back as a special advisor. And given that the other rumor is that Omar preferred parting with Kelenic over Giminez in the Cano deal, I have no problem with him not sticking around.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Right on time. Close, fire Brodie, blast the emails. Well oiled machine.

keeping him in the wrong role is a different story. I’d have him in charge of acquire Latin American prospects and that’s it

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

My Rangers, Mets and Dolphins are trending up! Oh Knicks why can’t I quit you?

This is a good week for change, let’s ride out 2020 and have hope for 2021!

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Jeff Luhnow or prying Erik Neander from Tampa could be good hires for BBallOps/GM.

cano makes a lot of money for a lot of years at an older age in times where nobody wants to take on salary and is coming off a great short year so I’d bet he’s surely the starting 2B/DH

have there been any rumors yet? My initial thought was who from Tampa and dodgers can we steal?

I haven't seen any concrete rumors, but I've seen Luhnow speculated a good bit.

 

[East Coast Bias]

f*** Luhnow. Btw the cheating and the Taubman stuff I wouldn’t go near him.

 

[Ruggs225]

Super excited about this. Could never forgive van wagenan after trading Kelenic.

Can Cohen buy the Jets next? Pretty please.

 

[Leetch3]

as fun as it is to speculate about get lindor or realmuto or whoever that would have an immediate impact. i'm far more interested in what the front office, analytics, scouting department etc look like cause thats where you build long term success....

those things along with international free agents is where the big $$ teams truly flex their financial might...and when you compare the cost of players their first 6 seasons vs after, its $$ spent that actually saves you $$ later.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

f*** Luhnow. Btw the cheating and the Taubman stuff I wouldn’t go near him.

I mean Hinch and Cora already got rehired lol.

 

[GoAwayGiannone]

What an amazing year for sports for Rangers and Mets fans. Lafreniere AND the Wilpons got fired while getting a billionaire super fan as an owner. I feel like I must have committed an unknown deal with the devil and I'll have to pay some crazy price later in life.

 

[Maximus]

Dear Stevie Cohen:

Welcome aboard and very excited and hopeful for the first time in many moons. Couple of quick favors if you don't mind. Sign Springer, Bauer and Stromen in FA. And if you can get Lindor withought gutting our core in a deal....do it!.

We do this a WS won't be to far off!. Thanks in advance my friend.

cheers,

Mets Fan since 1969

Reinforcing my disconnect with baseball this year, pretty sure today was the first time I had heard of either ROY.
