Can't have it both ways. Everyone wants the big impact player, no one wants to give up anyone good in return.
-
The Mets bp 1 week ago was better than they are now after all these trades for other people's bp guys. The Mets spent all of May blowing leads because they kept pitching their off season signees before they finally promoted Nunez and Butto. The only real improvements are promoting legit stud arms that are already in your system. Put SPROAT in the bp in Queens. I think all these other bp moves will ultimately do little and might just get in the way.

I like brozoban
-
Getting Blackburn allows Megil to pitch from the Bullpen. He has tremendous stuff he'll probably pick up two miles per hour on fastball and he doesn't have to think as much fastball slider or fastball change up and maybe he can you an inning in the 6th or 7th.
-
We finally agree ond something, Fink. Management for once didn't fall into the trap of undoing what they did last year for short term gains. Let's keep our eyes on the prize which is perennial contention for years to come.
-
METS 1, 2 & 3 starters are strong in Severino, Manaea & Quintana...+ BP is good and flexible with Diaz (great last night), Butto, Maton, Stanek (good last night) and Nunez upon return...METS are perfectly set to get 88 Wins, or better, make NL Playoffs & go on strong run, perhaps even all the way...!! At the end of this season, METS pitching top-to-bottom will be considered top 3 in MLB AS-IS with this Staff...!!
-
Those trades better work out, because the Padres and Diamondbacks are hot on their tail.
-
So will they/can they now please DFA Ottavino?
-
Let’s face it, other than Sproat none of our top 20 prospects are having good years. We didn’t have the pieces to trade for a top level pitcher
-
Did you see that throw by Alonso to Stanek in the 8th inning? Shades of Lucas Duda. What a choke artist.
-
As far as Blackburn goes, he literally just got back from an injury that sat him down for 2 1/2 months. I don’t think this was an acceptable pickup, these pickups as a combination were the lazy kind of pickups.
-
Blackburn solidifies the back of the starting rotation, but we had to come out of this with a reliable, bona fide setup man for the bullpen. We didn't. This may well cost us the playoffs.
-
With these moves, they'll reach the NLDS.
-
It would have been low IQ to trade for Snell when he could have been signed as FA. Life would have been easier if Stearns signed Shota Imanaga like I wanted.
-
I don’t like that they traded for an injured player. This franchise has horrible luck when it comes to injuries and injury management
-
Not trying to win ib 2024. Just stumbling around and maybe make first round of playoffs
-
We cut Hauser cause he was bad...we pickup Blackburn who is worse & people R praising the pickup??? I can live with the bp tries...but not Blackburn!
-
2nd tier, small market moves to placate the fan base. Go prospects in 2025!
