1. Help us get to 400+ likes & 30K subs! Mets fans, what’s YOUR thoughts on this trade for Jose Siri?

2. This is a steal if he is your 9th hitter

3. I’ll say this …I agree this is a fine move for sure he’s literally a Bader replacement…. But let’s not forget Tyrone Taylor!

4. Guy sucks. Admit it.

5. More attitude. More swag. More speed. For the fraction of the price as Badey. Love Bader but love this move more!

6. Hmm…so if he get soto, this gives us 5 OFers, plus mcneil who may need time in the OF to give acuna or maurcio a shot at 2B. So if/when gilbert comes up, I guess taylor is the odd man out.

7. Honestly i think his speed here is going under the radar, 99th percentile on bbs. Dude is lightning quick, could be a great pinch run option or free runner

8. We shall see! I'm reserving judgment about him based on what I saw in terms of the field altercations!

9. How is playing less gonna make him a better hitter stop it

10. How is playing less gonna make him a better hitter stop it

11. His offensive upside is being minimized. He k's a ton but also hits alot of extra base hits and steals bases. He has 20hr 20 steal realistic upside. Just look at his 2023 season,he slugged
    . 494

12. worse then Bader life time .210 batting average.

13. Pretty much a lateral move

14. You can ask Siri anything man!!

15. Siri is very talented and has a head case. He is a bit better than Bader.

16. Eric WHO? LGM

17. Siri brings elite defense in centerfield, 20 homeowner potential and fighting ability (he likes baseball brawls) to the Mets.

18. I”ve always liked Jose Siri from a far. Love him during the Winter Games and I love his outfield play. He’s an AWESOME centerfielder. His hitting is shakey though. When he hits they’re HARD but he strikes out a LOT to my mind. Don’t have the numbers to know for sure. Good defense up the middle of the outfield!!

19. This seems like the precursor to a move for Soto.

20. LGM World Champs 2025..

21. Mets love going to the Rays !

22. I like the trade, but you dismiss Orze as "nothing" is a little cavalier. The guy must have wicked shtt, he struck out 13.1k/9 in AA and 12.ok/9 in AAA. But….the Mets aren't the team to develop relievers. Nevertheless, look for Orze on the 2027 AL All Star team leading the AL in saves. That is what the Rays do.

23. I wrote my earlier comment before watching the video. You hit all the points but I forgot to mention the SWAG!! I forgot the homerun pimp job (thanks for the reminder, he’s one of the best at it if he’s on your team) but he’s also swag-alicious when he makes a play in the outfield which I think Citi Field will LOVE!! Good pick up!

24. Love it

25. That’s not Juan Soto.

26. 7mil less for a Bader upgrade! How does Stearns pull this type of trade off?

27. My only concern is his character. After moving to Tampa and going to a lot of games, all the fans complained about his personality. He does have a lot of swagger which I love. I hope being around the stars the Mets have especially Lindor and Soto he learns his place. Id love Soto to be the DH. Have Siri and Taylor in center. Then Marte and Jessie Winker in RF. We all know one of the prospects will take over CF. Gilbert or Williams will be up this year. I'd love this depth if this happens.

28. Feel like Taylor has good d and a better bat than siri.. depth I guess

29. Get ready to watch a .180 hitter pimp homeruns better then anyone in the game.

30. This kid is a stud, they got him basically for free, if they get Adames and Soto, oh man u got a really dangerous team

31. The trade gets a 👍.

32. He is entertaining

33. LFGM 🍎

34. JOSE CAN U S👀?!!! 😂 LFGM!!! 🍾🥂✨️
    He's Juan Soto's DR homie…That's what's up! One! ☝🏿🖤✨️

35. Wardy, how is he different from Juan Lagares? Im asking so i can try and be excited.

36. Rip Mendy

37. Could this be the Mets focusing on centerfield defense because we’re gonna land once Soto and we don’t need offense in CF as much as a great fielder! 😜😂

38. Umm … He batted below the Mendoza Line this year. By quite a bit too.

39. Now we need the other JS !!!

40. This is payback for that terrible trade at the deadline with the Rays.

41. Is this dude good? Honest question

42. We'll see how it works out I don't think this guy's anything and I guess Jessie Winkler is not going to be part of the Mets next year

43. Hopefully this bum is not on the team this guy is not good at all hopefully he'll be in the minor league Huggins in the sky is useless

44. He's a terrible offensive player we don't need this guy on the team we need somebody better than this hopefully he works out but I don't think so

45. You are wrong Wardy Bader metrics wise was better than every outfielder the last 2 years. Bader's Positive metrics haven't been matched since 1987. I still love the defense because that really showed itself with for example Dodgers defense vs Yankee defense. Running down those balls in the gap with men on base over 162 games gives you an advantage over other teams teams. LGM

46. When is everyone going to stop talking calls from the rays. I know orze flopped now watch tampa bay turn him into a stud. Trades with the rays rarely work to the benefit of their trade partner.

47. He will bring the cocky energy. Has a quick bat and can run

48. Guarantee we brawl with phillies this year because of Siri and I love it!!!

49. Eric Orze ERA for us last year was 21.6
