OT: Mets 2026 Season Thread

[Doctor Worm]

Is this stock crashing? Bear market? Time to sell?

Or maybe a Stock option - to Syracuse.

Penny stock?

No chance he opts out IMO. If he bounces back in 2027, maybe he opts out then.

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.
