WHY? WHY? WHY? This guy is probably the most hated player in baseball and is below avg at best. Hope he hits better than .187 (2024) and .210 (LT avg) and doesn’t create problems with his teammates. Big risk for little reward. Hope I’m wrong.
Wasn’t this the guy who had did a huge bat flip against us on his second homer of his career?
Similar players by age 27: Keon Broxton.
*2019 flashbacks intensify.*
They may have similar tools, but Siri is a better player. Love this move from Stearns.
Also shoutout Khalil Lee who was the same prototype if you were looking for a bad player instead.
Step 1
All I can hear is the A’s broadcaster saying “Hey Siri, it’s not your night” then him pimping a HR a pitch or two later
The Mets are sirius people
Okay deal. We need a great defending CF since we will have Nimmo on a recovering foot and Soto in RF.
But I would’ve though it’d be a lefty, like Leodys Taveras.
I wonder if this trade means the Mets are confident on getting Soto.
Going all in on defense at CF because you’re expecting to upgrade the lineup soon…..?
Ah to dream
I’m just being hopeful lol
What am I missing? A 2 WAR centerfielder with premier defense for a reliever that’s been in AAA for four years. Do the Rays just think they can fix him? Probably.
I like it, good speed, defense and pop. At the very worst hes a a beast with the glove .
Mets were probably gonna drop Orze off 40 man roster anyway
When Soto shows up to spring training, is he gonna have to give Brett Baty AND Jose Siri rolexes for the uniform number? Or is it just Baty?
Has anyone broken these news yet?
Hey Siri, play outfield
Let’s collect another four letter outfielder starting with S.
Oh great. Now my phone and watch will wake up every time I need to mention that he’s up to bat.
This is a brilliant move. Not because Siri is some undervalued talent or potential breakout star, but because Orze is the definition of “AAAA” middle relief arm and Siri, while a flawed player (see: ability to make contact as evident by his average and K rate), has proven to be a plus defender with enough power to do some occasional damage at the plate.
Look what they payed Bader for a similar role as the one Siri will now occupy and look what Siri will be payed by comparison. Siri will likely outperform Bader on top of being payed less. It’s a great “marginal” move, if that makes sense. Making this sort of incremental improvement a handful of times absolutely has the same impact as signing a single, big name starter who is 1-2 WAR better than the guy he replaces.
I love this move. I love Stearns.
Wrong outfielder with the initials JS
Perhaps a good range, good glove cf with an iffy bat to cover on defense for a bad glove, great bat rf also with the initials JS? I’ll buy that.
We’ve done it. Mets have beaten the entire league to the signing of J*** S***
Now my phone is going to activate everytime I curse at the TV…”Hey Siri, get your head in the game!”
The Mets replaced Harrison Bader (who made $10.5M last year) with a player in Jose Siri (who is estimated to make $2.5M this year). Siri is a better fielder and base runner, according to almost every imperative metric (Baserunning Run Vale, Fielding Run Value, Range OAA, Arm Strength, & Sprint Speed). Siri is one year younger, and will be under team control for 3-4 years. This is why we should all trust the genius that is David Stearns.
Good move. Feel like Orze won’t be good in the MLB
It is your day siri
This is a great move that the casual fans will hate. Siri is a great player who is a liability with the bat. As long as he can deal with the boos he will do great things.
Siri is a better player than Bader, IMO.
Arguably the best defensive CF in baseball, and one of the ~10 fastest guys in the sport.
The ceiling on his bat is higher (hit at a 40 home run pace through 100 games in 2023), but the floor is lower (78 wRC+ in 2024).
Over their careers, though, their bats have been almost identically valuable (89 wRC+ for Siri versus 90 wRC+ for Bader).
This is an upgrade that saves us 8 mil. Not only that, but if someone can finally convince Siri to take a fucking pitch every once in a while, he could easily be a 5 fWAR player and a star in the league. The tools are all there but his chase rate, K rate, and walk rate are all fucking horrible.

Keith’s iPad about to go off during the games frequently lol
“There are people after money” – Jose Siri, [on Wander Franco’s IG Live where Wander denied the allegations and Siri danced like an idiot](https://old.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/15qoeoa/wander_franco_denies_allegations_on_instagram_live/)
I hate this move so much.
I’m kind of torn on this. He’s got pop, speed and great defense but he bats .198 and is an asshole
David Stearns doom scrolls OOTP databases like a teenager doom scrolls TikTok.
Incredible trade
Biggest player with the initials JS on the market
Mets get outfielder with the initials JS. Just like we drew it up.
Stearns making sure the Mets – Brewers series [remains spicy next season](https://youtu.be/j5cQ5jkT95I?si=zWhr9brKGJC4YWC2)
Bader 0.9 WAR $10.5 m
Siri 1.8 WAR $2.5m
3 years cost controlled too. Solid by Stearns.
Got to keep that letter budget equal.
Love it
