Agreed. They did what they could given the circumstances. Grateful they are willing to spend what is needed. Their payroll has steadily grown--
was 23rd highest a decade ago, and will be near the top in 2023.
I like Nimmo, but I hope he gets on base bit more next year. His OBP was only .367 in 2022 (was over .400 3 of the previous 4 years).
Mets are pretty solid though. They had 4 guys with a WAR over 5 last year: McNeil 5.7, Lindor 5.4, Scherzer 5.2, Nimmo 5.1, and Alonso was close with 4.4 (his DWar was -1.1).
Phils and Braves are going to be TOUGH.
