  1. This is like when the stove goes from saying ‘preheat’ to ‘100 degrees’.

    Fun move though I like it

  2. Stearns is one of the few execs I trust to not get fleeced by the Rays cabal. I hope I’m right

  3. David Stearns sure does love his outfield defense

    Seems very redundant to have Taylor and Siri on the same roster, makes you wonder if something else is in the works.

  4. Same amount of letters and same initials as Juan Soto. Stearns did this to let Mets fans know we got our man!

  5. Jose Siri actually has major league skills. Elite defense, some speed and power. He isn’t making much money

    Eric Orze profiles as a AAAA reliever. Not sure why the Rays are doing this?

  6. One time I was sitting in the outfield stands at Citi and they were playing the Rays. Guy near me kept yelling “HEY SIRI” and setting off my watch. Now it’s going to be a way more frequent problem

  7. Damn, I really liked Orze

    Never got a fair shot at the ML level

    Good change up guy I’m sure he’s gonna be elite with the Rays

  8. STEARNS COOKED. Our Bader replacement without paying FA money and multiple years of control.

    STOVE IS ON FIRE

  9. The Mets social media team had better put out a tweet saying 

    “We’re excited to have J*** S*** in the outfield next year”

  10. If history repeats itself, Orze will be one of the best relievers in baseball next year. That’s what the Rays do, every time.

  11. Sounds like the Mets are out on Soto. Can’t have two outfielders with S (Same Vowel) (Consonant) (Same Vowel) on the same roster. That’s against the unwritten rules of baseball.

  12. Gonna be an exciting game when the Mets TV booth realizes what happens you say Jose Siri’s name near some devices

  13. Orze has some really good K potential. I was a big fan of his a few years ago and he kind of dropped off the radar. I fully expect the Rays to develop into yet another shutdown RP. I think Edwin Uceta has flown under the radar here, but the Rays turned him into maybe the best RP you’ve never heard of this past season.

  14. This is like when you start typing your password real fast but your right hand is just one letter to the left

  15. Hopefully Rays can make Orze into a good player! I had a class with him in College and he won a battle with cancer! I’m rooting for him!
