So the Mets officially signed Verlander today for 2 years. Plus they got Quintana and Raley. Apparently trying to re sign Bassit, Ottovino, and Trevor May. They got the 15th pick in the Rule 5 draft a Pitcher from the Yanks minor league system Greene a right handed reliever. A high strikeout ratio, low 90's and a sweeping off speed slider.
Aggressively still trying for the Japanese FA pitcher Senga. This apparently would be quite a pick up for the Mets. He's certainly quite younger than what looks like our first 4 starters. Verlander, Scherzer. Quintana, and Carrasco.
Were still in the Brandon Nimmo sweepstakes along with half of Major League Baseball. If we miss on Nimmo were talking with Conforto and Bienetto ( pardon the spelling). Even if we get Nimmo to sign I think I would still sign Bienetto for DH. I know he can play corner outfields. He's better than Vogelback imo.

Man we needed him he adds so much. This really makes my day, I am so stoked that Nimmo decided to stay. He had so many offers.

Which is more startling?
A. The Padres lineup B. The Mets payroll is almost $100 million than the Padres

And I believe we are going to add Kodai Senga to what’s already an excellent rotation. As far as some of the positions, you have to still be like other teams and give your kids a chance. I believe part of that plan is that Baty and Alvarez will get that chance. As they should.

I don't know any Mets fan who thought they'd be stupid enough to open the vault for deGrom given his age and injury history. Eppler seemed fully prepared. imo, they still need bats

By the way Heyman says the Mets are attempting to recruit Correa to play 3rd base. Fingers crossed man.

Eppler seemed fully prepared. imo, they still need bats IMO They need a big bat at DH to bat 5th in that lineup to protect Alonzo. We need a RBI guy with power. To me the perfect guy would be a left hand bat with power 25-30 HR's and he has to hit .270's or higher. Our order would be so much more potent. Now where were getting this mystery DH I have no idea. I don't know who's available in FA. Conforto ? Bienetto ? Maybe a RH bat in Drury don't know how he did with S,D, at trade deadline but was always a fairly big bat with Cinci. He plays 3B. Could he spell Alonzo at 1B ? My Batting order would be just about the same lineup we had in 2022. But adding 2 strong bats. 1- (L) Nimmo CF 2- (R) Marte RF 3- (SH) Lindor SS 4- (R) Alonzo 1B 5- (L) The mystery DH 6- (SH) Escobar 3B 7- (L) McNeil 2B 8- (R) Canha LF 9- (R) Alvarez C

Maybe if he's that good with the bat they would adjust? Should be interesting next year. Probably the highest salary in MLB ever. Hope it works out.

Another big signing in signing Senga for 5 years for 75 mil. I think that's what I read. He's 29. He has a fastball that reaches 100mph and supposedly a nasty forkball.
His weakness is they don't know if he can go every 5th day, he may only go once a week. And everybody is going to have to get use to the new pitch clock starting next year. But I don't think the Mets apparently are that worried or they wouldn't have signed a 5 year deal.
We lost 3 starters and signed imo the same quality 3 new starters or maybe even better than we had.
Lets Go Mets !

That’s funny as soon as reports circulated from Passan that Correa was about to visit the Mets the Giants upped their offer 2 years and 50 million to get it done. So I wonder if the Mets were really interested or if Boras leaked that info. I’m betting it’s the 2nd.

San Francisco Giants, Carlos Correa agree to 13-year, $350M deal Shortstop Carlos Correa and the San Francisco Giants are in agreement on a 13-year, $350 million contract, a source familiar with the deal told ESPN. The deal comes with a full no-trade clause but does not include any opt-outs, the source said. It gives the Giants their franchise player in Correa, who turned down $160 million from Houston last year, got $35.1 million in his year in Minnesota and now gets the most money ever for an infielder. www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/35249116/san-francisco-giants-carlos-correa-agree-13-year-350m-deal

I’m sure he will make them better but that’s a lot of money.

Pressure busts pipes, trying to keep up with the Joneses. You’ve got the Padres with Boegarts on top of everything else they have, Dodgers are the Dodgers, Mets doing Uncle Stevie things, Phillies and Braves still talented. They had a fair offer in place, news broke Correa was going back to talk with the Mets and they panicked about getting shutout and jumped their offer into the absurd. Do I know that for fact? No, but it’s most likely what happened.

I’m sure he will make them better but that’s a lot of money. He got Joe Judge money. He is a very good player but he hit .272, what 20 something HR's, didn't even have 70 RBI's. Has never come in higher than 5th any year in the MVP voting. Yes the Giants were desperate but that's ridicules money for him. He's not going to fill all those empty seats in their stadium. Their the 3rd best team in that division and if those young players that came up late last year for Arizona do anything like they showed at the end of this season their the 4th best team in their division.

We've signed 7 FA's 6 pitchers and Nimmo. Now we re-signed Diaz and Nimmo, thank goodness. 2 players that were the best at their positions in FA.
Verlander last years Cy Young award winner to replace deGrom. IMO about even we probably get more innings from the 40 year old Verlander.
2 set up relievers Raley (L) and Robertson (R) for Diaz something we didn't have last year.
Plus Quintana and Senga as starters to replace Bassitt and Walker.
We might not be finished yet
