Mets acquiring center fielder Jake Marisnick from Astros A day after the bombshell Mets ownership news, the team acquired a center fielder. The Mets are acquiring Jake Marisnick from the Astros for prospects Blake Taylor and Kenedy Corona. Marisnick, 28, is a right-handed hitter with a strong defensive acumen and appears to be the Mets’ choice to replace Juan Lagares, whose 2020 option the team declined earlier this offseason. nypost.com/2019/12/05/mets-acquiring-center-fielder-jake-marisnick-from-astros/

Wow.
That's like, 1/108th of a Gerrit Cole. Lol
But seriously, I like that for the Mets. Dirt cheap big plus side.

Honestly I still have PTSD from the Bonilla/Coleman splurge and other bigtime misses with the big names (rarely if ever they work out)
Yankees better hope Cold doesnt get arm problems..

So Betances coming off all those injuries? We needed another reliever and he has a big highside.
We have 2 badly under-performing relievers in Familia and Diaz and are adding another question mark. I think its worth it for a one year deal though.
Could be a fearsome pen if all three recover. Or pretty pathetic again if they dont.

Yoenis Cespedes’ ankle fracture came during incident with wild boar The Post has learned all involved parties agreed that Cespedes was injured on the ranch stepping into a hole after an interaction with a wild boar. According to multiple people who were informed of the incident, Cespedes has traps on his ranch for a variety of reasons, including to keep boars away from people. But one boar was removed from a trap — perhaps by Cespedes — and either charged toward Cespedes or startled him, causing Cespedes to step into a hole. Cespedes suffered the fractured ankle at a time when he was recovering from surgery to both heels that already was jeopardizing his playing status in 2019. The ankle fracture guaranteed that he would not take an at-bat last season. nypost.com/2020/01/03/yoenis-cespedes-ankle-fractures-came-during-incident-with-wild-boar/

"Perhaps by Cespedes?" Definitely by Cespedes... Or perhaps Jacoby Ellsbury tried to remove the boar from the trap. I don't know details about elsbury. Getting treatment outside of the team seems a bit vague. But even before his surgery recovery this time, while on the DL for a previous leg injury, Cespedes was caught playing golf. Not inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Mets should be smart and fire Beltran right now. This will be a bullseye and a major distraction. Also your first gig and severe integrity questions, absolutely not. Of course the Coupons will be more concerned about money. Isn’t Dusty Baker still out there?

Sources: Carlos Beltran out as Mets manager Carlos Beltran, the only player named in MLB's investigation of the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal, is out as manager of the New York Mets before beginning his first season with the team, sources confirmed to ESPN's Jeff Passan on Thursday. Beltran is the third manager to lose his job in the fallout from the investigation. The Astros fired A.J. Hinch after the report was issued, and the Boston Red Sox parted with Alex Cora after he admitted to wrongdoing while with the Astros. www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28496773/sources-carlos-beltran-mets-managerYahoo Sports was the first to report that Beltran was stepping down.

If this is the case all of the Astros players including Cole should be suspended from Baseball . If you are going to hold one player accountable for knowledge of cheating . Than they all should be going back to 2017 -16 15? Saying he is the only one that knew of it is ridiculous. Do they expect anyone to believe that Beltran is the only player that knew of the rule breaking? He was a player at the time. If one player is to be held to a standard, than they all should be.

Glad Beltran is gone. Don’t need that type of man leading this team going forward.

IMO it is scapegoating BS. if one is. All should be held accountable.

He was a player. The Yankees should be doing the same with Cole as should the Astros with their players and all other teams with those in question players. What the player's role in Baseball today should be irrelevant. As it would be in a court of law. If one guy should be held accountable because of his holding a blind eye to the infractions as a player. All associated with it should be as well . It is sanctimonious to suggest; just because the player is still a player and not in managerial position should exempt them form a behavior standard that was set today. I am sorry that my friend is a double standard.

I am sorry that my friend is a double standard. Do you think the Mets should keep him as the manager? And this wouldnt be a distraction? MLB didnt fire him. His team did. Know why? Because he would be a complete disaster there with this on his back. It would dominate the papers and locker room after every game. Players on the Mets roster may have lost all respect for him after this. It was the obvious move for the Mets. As for Cole, when did he cheat? This was the best move for the Mets future.

Turning a blind eye to it is acceptance to cheating . Just because he did hot benefit from it as a hitter is not an indicator of innocence. As I said; And I am looking at it from an unbias perspective. You cannot hold one player accountable with out holding the rest to the same standard . They all should be suspended. If MLB wants to have any credibility to all its fans. It must use the same standards for all participants. Or it is a sham.
