    Whether he's a better hitter than Correa is not really the point. This makes the offense significantly worse while making the pitching marginally better. The 2023 team is not improved by this trade. The 2028 team might be, but then what are we doing signing Correa and holding onto Gray/Mahle etc.? Are we trying to win now or not? Contending teams don't trade the reigning AL batting champ and they don't trade their closer on Opening Day. This front office perpetually doesn't know if it's coming or going.

    Trading your best hitter for a mild upgrade to your rotation doesn't improve the 2023 club no matter what. We have no set DH and Larnach and Gallo are not locks to be healthy or effective. A healthy Kiriloff would have gotten full playing time Arreaz or no Arreaz. But I'm sure the A ball prospects we got will be exciting for whoever is running the team in 2028 after Falvey is long gone (hopefully.)

    Bad move that will go over like a fart in Church with the fan base. Not that they care.

    I hate this for 2023, even if the prospect pays off some day. Our offense stinks, so trade our best hitter for another #3 starter. I can't wait until this front office is gone.
  5. howeda7
    I'm still against trading Arreaz or Polanco at least right now. The offense is still the weak spot of this team and Arreaz and Miranda can split 1B/DH duties. If the Marlins are willing to deal Lopez, I think Kepler and prospects can get it done. Or maybe Kepler/Farmer/prospects.

    3rd time is a charm I guess. Glad it worked out.
  7. howeda7
    Is that an overpay? Yes. Would overpaying by a few million when you you're $40 million under last year's payroll and the list of things to spend it on is shrinking daily have really mattered? No. I'd take Taylor back in a heartbeat. I don't care whether we "win" the signing or not.

    Falvey's job is no tougher than 20 other GM's, he's just really bad at it. We believed Buxton, Larnach, Polanco etc. would be available down the stretch because they told us that. If they knew that was not the case and it was a lost cause, then why did they trade for Mahle, Lopez and Fulmer? Clearly they believed they could win the division. Trading Correa while leading your division, especially when you've lead it almost all year and there's no great team chasing you is just not done. They'd have been torched by the fans and media and had a mutiny in the clubhouse and rightfully so.

    Trading Correa would have been fine if we weren't contending. We were in first place. You can't trade him in that case. It's not worth alienating the fan base and the clubhouse to net one nice prospect, and that's all he'd have gotten you.

    The issue isn't signing Correa, it's this front-office forever sitting out free agency while competitors fill their holes. If they want to salvage a team that at least has a shot at the central: Trade Kepler for Eduardo Escobar (probably have to involve a 3rd team). Sign Taylor Rogers (2/$16-2/$20) Re-sign Fulmer (2/$10) Sign Eovaldi (2/$30?) Trade Pagan for a box of balls. Vs RH 2B Arreaz SS Polanco CF Buxton DH Miranda LF Larnach 3B Escobar 1B Kiriloff RF Gallo C Vazquez Vs LHP 1B Arreaz 2B Polanco CF Buxton DH Miranda 3B Escobar SS Farmer RF Garlick C Jeffers LF Gordon Rotation: Gray Mahle Ryan Eovaldi Ober Bullpen Duran Rogers Lopez Theilbar Jax Fulmer Alcala/Moran Maeda

    As long as the price isn't steep. Yes. He Makes $10 million so that would save the Mets $15 million with the luxury tax. Pagan for Escobar straight up.
  12. howeda7
    If they didn't want this to leak, they could have blamed postponing the press conference on travel/weather etc. That is the only thing that makes you go hmm. Still probably a 95% chance the deal gets done.
  13. howeda7
    Rumors that Falvey increased his offer upon hearing this news are false.
  14. howeda7
    They didn't trade Urshela for Farmer. I have zero problem with them trading for Farmer or him being on the team. He's a nice upgrade over Palcious (sp), Adrianza and co. But he should not start and we did not need to trade Urshela for a bag of balls to afford him.
  15. howeda7
    I was only 8 and took it better than this. The Frank Viola trade on the other hand...

    Planning a Tonya Harding greeting at the airport?

    Save your pennies. The traffic during the season might dry up.

    Falvey's Daddy.

    Rob Deer is still alive?
  20. howeda7
    Terry would have signed Joey Callow for a fraction of the cost. Though in this case, I'm not sure you could tell the difference.
  21. howeda7
    Who would rather have Gallo at $11 million that Pollock at $15 million? I don't get it. At all.
  22. howeda7
    Yeah. But I'm not interested in that unless the Yankees eat half of it and give us a decent prospect. Ugh.
  23. howeda7
    Can you draw chalk outlines on the walls at Target Field?
  24. howeda7
    I'd rather have him than Cellistino or Kepler out there. As long as it's a 1-2 year deal, give him $15 million then. We have nothing else to spend it on anyway.
  25. howeda7
    It's incompetence. It's not like Urshela couldn't have been traded after they signed Correa. All they had to do was tender him a contract. He's easily worth what he's going to get in arbitration.
