OT: Mets 2026 Season Thread
- Thread starter Knight Shift
- Start date
The problem is- let's say 2027 happens and he has what would be a great year- let's give him the best number in key stats for his career- so- .311 BA, 29 HR, 102 RBI...And he still can't field. Does that deserve the 3rd highest salary in MLB and is there any way possible any team would be dumb enough to give more? Or maybe slightly less but give him a long term contract.
Bo would be crazy to opt out of either year.
So- as I look a bit more into the Stearns trade deadline moves- I think he actually did pretty well.
But, the reality is that it is like being the Captain of the Titanic who just hit the iceberg and getting credit for having the band play to the drowning passengers.
Out of the prospects- it does look like there could be 1 or 2 above average players and maybe a pitcher or two who can contribute. I do expect a couple of those guys to be traded in the off season though. But overall- if you take the deadline in it's own bubble, he did pretty good. Maybe he is a better seller than a buyer.

As my father would say, "Swallow an elephant, but choke on a gnat." Just another excellent move by Stearns. He panicked when his weak idea fell apart. So much for someone who thinks he's the smartest person in the room.
Stearns is a genius. When Shawn Ross was claimed off waivers I originally thought that meant either Alvy or Torrens would be traded. Instead it looks like after last nights performance Torrens can slide into Weavers set up role. Heck Senga can pitch the 7th inning. Ya gotta bELieve…………this is a joke
Bo
Recently When asked, Bo was non committal on his Player Option but stated that the team will be better next year !
As others have stated above - Bo would be crazy to test free agency next year !
What Bo is : he’s a good player - not a franchise mover and grossly overpaid !
Bo knows !

This one is a head-scratcher. This is NOT Jack Wenninger, a high level prospect. This is somebody else, a minor league journeyman who was in the Indy leagues last year, and currently sports a 7.71 ERA.
Looks like Stock remains in stock, at least for now.
When position players that you know can really throw such as Torrens come in to pitch and wind up lobbing the ball to the plate. Is it because of fear of injury that they dont make pitches at the velocity that you know they could?
Who can take Baty’s ABs the rest of the year?
220 lifetime hitting 215 in 2026
Nothing more to learn about him
Ewing and Benge are light years ahead of Baty already.
see if Morabito can rebound from his initial stint in the bigs ?
let maurico play 20 games in a row ?

The rebirth of Sean Manea continues. Probably some teams who wished they had traded for him.
Big credit to him for turning his season around.
