[John Harper] Verlander struggling since return from IL, only 71 ip for season, so Mets off the hook for $17 mil in ’25. Scherzer on IL again, only 39 ip. Cohen’s decision to eat money/move on from both last year paved the way for ’24 success, with Stearns’ smart signings of Severino/Manaea.

He did what the fucking Wilpons never did.
LOL (Logical Organizational Logistics) Mets
JV’s really showed his age, these last few starts.
Mets fortunate that some other clubs still think father time can be defeated.
I agree, but also the Mets literally bought prospects which is gross af.
I can’t say I was thrilled that the FO basically called a mulligan halfway through last season, but full credit where it’s due
With how good the team is playing do you think they regret not going all in at the deadline? NL is wide open
This is neither here nor there, but Verlander, Scherzer, and Kershaw all looking cooked simultaneously is some definite end of an era shit.
As a Mets fan I think Cole Ragans for Chapman is a far better steal
Gotta say I would never have expected to see “smart signing” and “Manaea” used in the same sentence.
I said the exact same thing in the Mets sub. This guy is stealing comments from the Mets sub
Gotta give that team credit. They were on the brink of starting the season 0-6.
To see Kershaw, Verlander, and Scherzer losing to Father Time is sad…
Kershaw and Verlander – I could see happening. But not Scherzer, I would imagine him staring down Father Time with a broken nose and black eye before his body starts to regress.
Getting old isn’t fun.
Success is such a strong word. Maybe not being awful.
This is a great day for mets fans.
Mets are going to have a ton of room to maneuver in the off season, but they’re also going to need pretty much an entire starting rotation
3rd place is success now?
24 success?
How last years clusterfuck turns into being just half a game back from the wild card this year is incredible. I wish a division rival would stay in the clusterfuck, but it would be incredibly humorous if the Mets knocked the Barves out of the playoffs
