The Mets - Same crap as the last crap

[cgjackson222]

I would have liked to see Scherzer (assuming he doesn't utilize his no-trade clause) and Peterson compete the remainder of the season to see if they can sneak into the Wild Card spot.

But at least the Mets are getting some young prospects in exchange for their pitching stars from the Marlins and Rangers.

Let's face it, the Mets were too old.

As someone who has watched them all year, they were not making the wildcard. Just my opinion as a traumatized Mets fan

Ya Gotta Believe

They had a close to zero % chance, but anything is possible

I blame Lindor for not buying McNeil that car. Jerk move

Supposedly from Texas they are getting Acuna’s little brother Luisangel Acuna looks like a good prospect with some power and really good speed. Stole over 40 bases each year the last 2 years. That would be really good.
They just finalizing how much money the Mets will give Texas and then they have to get league approval if the money is over $2 million

They mentioned a lower level prospect also but did not say who yet

[mrreality68]

Not sure I like the deal.

Acuna is really good prospect but the Mets are giving over 36 million dollars and only getting 1 prospect.
So Texas gets Max for this year and next and only give up 1 prospect and not even one of their top prospects(Texas had a deep farm system). So Texas is setup especially with Degrom out till next August.

I'm curious who will be next...Verlander? Pham and Canha should be traded too.

Just weird that someone hasn’t said to him that it looks weird for team chemistry that it’s even a story so just do it. This is a guy that gave thumbs down to the fans his first year with the team though. He gets a lot of props from people for saying the right things and having a positive attitude but he does some seriously questionable stuff too, in addition to sucking at getting hits on the regular. God I want the Mets to be good but I don’t think Lindor on a long term contract helps with that.

I agree totally that it's a bad look. Lindor is the better overall player, but as a fan, I like watching McNeil a lot more. The guy moves all around the field as needed and always gives 100%

Maybe McNeil is exacting his revenge on Lindor (and the Mets) by signing a medium term contract with the Mets and being roughly 25% as valuable as Lindor (at least via the WAR stat) in the field.

Just sayin’.
