OT: Mets 2026 Season Thread

BTW- I sort of wish Rogers did a big ole jump on Yan when he walked it off. I can't stand Yan's antics out there. And he isn't really all that good.

Interesting late in the season...2 players, one talked about for MVP and the other- no one wants

Player 1 - runs -84 HR -30 RBI - 80 SB -8 - MVP candidate Salary -2x player 2
Player 2 - runs - 79 HR - 30 RBI - 85 SB - 5 - much better defensive player

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. Why do you say Pete Alonso is a player no one wants? I don't know a single Met fan who would not have been fine with giving Alonso three years. Orioles gave him five and he took it. Good for him. Time will tell who made the right decision.

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 him good. Maybe we'll ask him to tone it down a bit at some point.
* If he doesn't turn out to be good, then we'll DFA him and he'll be somebody else's concern. Or maybe he won't.

Either way, the Mets aren't terribly concerned. Nor am I.
