    OT: Mets 2026 Season Thread

    Andy Green is taking a hold position on his Stock, at least for now. He announced that Robert Stock will get another start. Transaction du jour: Curry up, McDermott down. Tobias Myers, who has been the forgotten man amidst the bullpen turnover, threw an immaculate inning yesterday for...

    2 HR's for Amick tonight for Syracuse. Vientos also got one in his rehab assignment. I expect he will be back soon. Whether he is back in 2027 is quite another matter.

    I wonder if after the game, the Mets put in a stop loss order.

    Five of them have played for the Mets.

    Yes, you are missing something. It is the strong possibility, if not likelihood, of a salary cap starting next year. If there is a cap, then we all very much care about how much money players are making. Because there will be an opportunity cost associated with every dollar spent. If you pay...

    In the post game yesterday, Green said that they have spoken to Yan about not celebrating until the umpire raises his right hand. That was about it. I suspect that the Mets attitude is: * If Yan turns out to be good, then we don't want to suppress the personality traits that have helped make...

    Player 2 is obviously Pete Alonso, because why else would you be posting this? Player 1 I assume is Shohei Ohtani. If pitching counts as defense (run prevention?) then he is the far better defensive player. He is also far better in OPS, a stat which you chose to exclude. C'mon man, let it go...

    More recently, there was the Fab Five starting staff of the 2010's - Harvey, Wheeler, deGrom, Syndergaard, and Matz. Although Wheeler and Syndergaard were not homegrown. Ironically, of those five, deGrom was the least highly regarded. The guy who came up along with deGrom, and who was supposed...

    Steve Cohen was recently asked that very question. His response: “I’m going to take him at face value. He told us he wants to go back to the front office. We are going to do a managerial search. If it turns out he wants to put his hat into the ring, that would be great.” Green was also asked...

    Then I strongly suggest that you stop thinking about it. This is coming from someone who still hasn't forgiven the Mets for leaving an 18 year old Paul Blair unprotected in the 1962 First Year Minor League draft.

    Seaver and Koosman! Yeah, I am that old.

    OT: The LA Dodgers are in deep doo doo.

    Assuming that the cap is accompanied with a reasonable floor, and a healthy increase in the minimum salary, and maybe cutting off a year of total team control (either pre-arb or arb)... Then yeah, I could see it happening.

    OT: The LA Dodgers are in deep doo doo.

    I agree with you there. There won't be a cap without a floor, and vice versa. It will be both or neither.

    OT: The LA Dodgers are in deep doo doo.

    Was the luxury tax meant to prohibit egregious behavior? I would argue no. If you really want to prohibit something, you don't tax it. You prohibit it. IMHO, the luxury tax was intended to line the pockets of those small-market owners who are its beneficiaries.

    Also, Weisenberger down, McDermott back up. Potato, po-tah-to.
