Senga Signs with Mets

Agreed.  Hope I’m wrong but if Correa signs elsewhere, this off-season looks very bleak. Our FO will likely cap it off by trading Arraez and then when Buxton gets hurt again we can all watch some extremely low octane baseball. We keep our payroll powder dry at well under $100MM and try to put butts in seats selling the youth movement.  But 2023 need not be a complete write-off if: 1) Polanco, Kepler, and probably Mahle, are traded by the deadline and 2) we get to see a lot of Julien, Lewis, Lee, Martin, Wallner, SWR, Varland, Henriquez, and Sands. 

A marginally competitive rebuild in 2023 is looking more like a possibility with every passing day…..

The Mets 2023 payroll now is at $343M.  I guess some teams aren't hesitant to go after what they feel they need to win.

$73MM CBP. Crazy, but true….

I’ll be tuning out this year if they decide not to do anything in free agency. I’m not wasting my time watching a team owned by people who simple don’t care 

Having been a true fan since the 1960's  , I too am at my wits end with the teams inactiveness to fill the needed positions ...

If they do trade arreaz I am done supporting this team ... 

Crazy how much money the big markets spend  , that's only another reason to root against them  ...

From what I've read Senga has a lot of reliever risk. So I'm fine with some other team taking on that risk.

If there something that is bothering me it's the Mets payroll. 343 mil???...and not done yet...maybe they'll pay Correa 40 mil for 12 years as well...and Ohtani next year for 50 x 12...
