What's next, he changes it to Zak?
THAT is what I was referring to--I remember Zach Thornton, but with all the rookies, I thought, who is Zac?

What a catch by EwingSomeone should tell Freddy if you want to help your trade value…..play better. Thank you Robert JR for the HR bomb. We have no room for you in the outfield but hopefully someone else wants you
Nice bomb:
Was very low to begin with, unless Cohen wants to eat most of what he is owed next year, which he has already said he is disinclined to do.
Not arguing with you, but when an outfielder misjudges a ball and as a result does not get to it, it has always been a hit. Every scorer in MLB rules that a hit.
Not saying what should be, just what is.
The Athletic (paywall) ran a list of its Top 125 starting pitchers. The ranking was highly analytics-based. The Mets current rotation was all there:
#16 - Nolan McLean
#41 - Christian Scott
#59 - Freddy Peralta
#81 - Zac Thornton
#90 - Sean Manaea
Clay Holmes was not there, presumably because he is not now in a starting rotation.
The interesting rating to me is Peralta. As there are 30 teams, he is clearly rated as a 2/3 starter. Assuming there are teams whose analytics are similar, he will bring back a decent return.
Two Mets alumni are in the Top 10 - deGrom at #7 and Wheeler at #8.

We can only hope that enough GM's use the same analytics algorithms as the Athletic.
