  1. Hall of famer Tom Glavine went from the Braves to the Mets, why wouldn’t Fried? Money talks. I never buy into this concept that a player wouldn’t go to a rival team. It happens all the time.

  2. Every year Snell 1-2 months is worst pitcher in league then 3 plus months the best — too many walks — we already have that problem — no Ty

  12. Flaherty is not on my wish list. I definitely would call Chicago to discuss Crochet. The Sox almost have to be looking to unload him to get a significant package of young talent to help them get back on their feet.

  16. Ok..The best team in baseball is the Dodgers..They have an excellent lineup: Otany, Betts and Freeman are their weapons. Otani and Freeman are lefties so for have more chances against them you need to have "elite" lefties starters and relievers..The Mets starters do they needs are 1- Burnes, Snell and Crochet (via trade) Relievers: 1-Scott (lefty and the best reliever of the FA list) Kevin Williams (via trade) and Ryne Stanek who was really good for us last year..Also I think is very intelligent by Stearns to sign Adames (SS) because him was one of the main targets that the Dodgers wants to improve this offseason…LETS GO METS…

  17. Pitching thru free agency price for prospects are going to be sky high for crochet and the trades they do make will fill in holes in the field. I can see a world where Naylor / Brichette / Vlad is on the Mets

  19. Why no mention of Walker Buehler? I like him a lot esp after the WS, but his price probably went way up in the playoffs. Worth kicking the tires though.

  24. I'm not convinced in the Mets even considering to sign Blake Snell, because, he's a struggler with unpredictable performances. I like to see the Mets vigorously pursue signing Corbin Burnes. Let's Go Mets….😊

  27. The only problem with Castillo is that Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto has come out and said that he doesn't plan to deal any of his starters, so,I in order to get him, you are going to have to give up a lot. Think Baty, Clifford and Acuna. I'd be more open to trading Clifford than Baty because he is more versatile.
