Ahhh, nevermind. How about just the Hamburger?

Don't look now, but the SF Giants no name squad with a payroll of less than 1/2 of what the Mets are paying have spun off 9 straight wins and have the 4th best record in the NL.

Still early yet but they are fun to watch.

And only 13 more years to go until the Mets stop paying Bobby Bonilla...

Serious question: not that I’d trust Eppler, but when do you start entertaining trade talk for Scherzer and Verlander ?

As a Mets fan, with these guys on short term deals they are very tradeable and I’d love to see some prospects added into the fold. Feels like pride will get in the way.

Verlander has a no-trade clause. Who's going to want old pitchers making $43M a year?

If someone needs a starter for a playoff push and is willing to trade a good prospect the salary can be worked out.

I just looked at Scherzer's contract details and he also has a full no-trade clause. Scherzer does have a player option for next season, I can't see him opting out of $43M. So he would not be a rental, even if he waived his no-trade.

Honestly, I don't see a team taking that salary and giving a prospect in return.

Yeah, Mets aren't getting rid of Max and Justin. No one would want them unless the Mets paid 80-90% of the salary and for that cost they might as well just keep them.

Good work, guys.
