I'm expecting him to land in New England or something...Jets have been overly desperate looking for a top receiver.
I just don't want them to force anything and give up too much. Would be nice, but there's a reason the top guys want nothing to do with us.

So even with the NL adopting a DH, overall MLB is still hitting just .233, you’re still more likely to see a strikeout than a hit, and the game feels just as broken as it ever has. And apparently 5 is the new 6…as in, starting pitchers are often being taken out in the fifth inning now. Maybe it’s a side effect of a shortened spring training, but it also reeks of the latest sabermetric geek nonsense: “Nope, can’t have guys facing lineups a third time, the world will end!”
Gotta wonder if these bullpens are all going to hold up.
At least the Mets are 7-3.
And the games are still either A. 1-0, 2-1 with 6 total hits between both teams K fests
Or B. 18-2, 12-10...slugfests, one sided or both teams lighting up each other. But it's terribly unbalanced

Offense was ice cold today, but whatever. Nimmo got a hold of one and Lindor had a big rbi and the pitching staff top to bottom snuffed out any momentum Philly might have gained from yesterday. 4-2 aint bad
I'm hoping this offense eventually turns into something that isn't the home run explosion followed by 4 runs and 8 total hits in the next 4 games combined extreme feast or famine they've been.
-
Predictable outcome. Mets jump out early, the like clockwork injury, they can't tack on, and we blow it. Now no doubt Wheeler will dominate us and all the good feeling of 3-0 will be wiped away
-
And of course...2 perfect innings and it's bye bye Taijuan Walker. This Mets injury curse just cannot be lifted
-
Fine job from Megill. He was hitting numbers on the radar gun that we've never seen from him
The HBP's (especially Alonso's) irritated me. That could've been very VERY bad. We gotta throw back eventually...hopefully when it's 10-2 Mets in the 8th
Terrified of everything going good with Scherzer and the sudden 4th inning "Max's hamstring is acting up and he's being taken out of the game..."
-
Metcalf is only 24, so yea when they're ready to compete again he'll still be right in his prime...he'll also want to be paid and paid a ton after the 2022 season. It makes so much sense for them to deal him
I still don't believe this...I think he's available but after the Adams swindle, they want to make sure that if they're dealing with the Jets that they squeeze every last drop out of them in terms of assets

And now Nimmo with a stiff neck. Not sure if it will keep him out of opening day but I mean you could just predict that snowball rolling downhill...deGrom, Scherzer, Nimmo. He got a Cortisone shot in his neck a few hours ago
And with Scherzer, good to hear he is feeling better and while not a sure thing, closer to a GO on Opening Day. But why risk it at this point. I mean you just know he'll go out and reaggravate it and we'll just be inundated with the Stewie Family Guy clip all day

All goes back to the same thing:
WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST RE-SIGN LOUP?!
I don't get it either, left an important hole that we have now subtracted from a strength to acquire somebody who may or may not fill that whole. Loup is a Californian so maybe perhaps the Mets tried and he just wanted to go home? But with them your first instinct is always incompetence

Mets made a cross city trade the other day. Miguel Castro for Joely Rodriguez. Can't say I'm a big fan of it. Rodriguez is a lefty but Castro overall is the better pitcher. And younger

Hosmer the Pads have been trying to dump for a while supposedly. He's 32...still a good player, but Dom is 25. Did not have a good season last year but during the COVID abbreviated season he got MVP votes. Paddack had a solid rookie season but just totally fell off the map after.
Indeed we better get something else back. I'm leaning no on this. Smells like a panic move
-
And while Max has been a workhorse...really how long can you count on him? That wall could hit at any time. He's 37 years old and turning 38 in season. With a guy that age you just have to take it year to year
deGrom almost throws too damn hard for his own good. I'm not some pitching guru but I really think if he could just scale it down a bit then it would do his arm a lot of good. A guy with a 1.00-1.50 era is otherwordly...but what if the best he can give you is 15-18 starts a year. That hurts the team over the long grind of the season in what it does to our pen. Rather Jake have an era near 3.00, preserve his arm, but make 30+ starts a year
-
I don't see how they run him out there. This is definitely a problem. Get the MRI and pray
And right on the heels of April Fools Day too
-
There was nothing the Jets could do, Hill didn't care about the trade packages going back to KC...he had an NTC and he picked Miami
-
Hill is from Georgia so figure Miami will be his preference. And I'm not very excited about potentially giving up two first rounders for him
He's an elite talent though, still in his prime.

What a bonkers offseason this is becoming

Mets also signed lefty reliever Chasen Shreve. He was with the Pirates last year. Threw 56.1 innings and had a 3.20 era. 45 k's. Lefties hit .200 off of him and righties .221
-
Mets have signed Travis Jankowski to a minor league deal. 30 years old, always had excellent speed and will draw some walks here and there, but not much of a hitter. Can also play all 3 outfield positions so I have a feeling we'll be seeing him at the major league level this year
-
The Conklin signing surprised me. No idea they were in on another TE. Conklin is a very athletic guy coming off a career best 61 catch season. Watching him play he sometimes really looks WR-ish when making plays on the ball especially near the sidelines and making plays on contested balls. So we're pretty much set at that position and now it's looking doubtful they'll go for McBride in the draft. TE position is totally set for 2022, just gotta hope both stay healthy

Simple, Douglas wants to get a lot of B+ and B FA's but he isn't going to Goldman Sachs for the A-list shopping. Which isn't generally a terrible approach to FA, especially when you have multiple needs to fill.
If we're ever at the point where he absolutely needs to add a finishing touch somewhere, and the team is close...I feel he will ante up and not walk away when a player has exceeded the value tag that the Jets have pegged him with. Douglas approach sort of reminds me of Lou when he was with the Devils. Stingy and not willing to pay a penny more than what he feels your worth is.

And that's why, Marcus Williams to Baltimore. 5 years 70 mil (14 mil a year! That's excellent. Where were we?)
Happy with Whitehead but a bit confused on this one
-
Interestingly Connor Hughes is saying they have not closed the door yet on Marcus Maye...so we'll see what transpires there
-
Jordan Whitehead is the guy from Tampa. Solid player. Nothing spectacular but both still very young and important upgrades for us. Jets are starting to look like a competent team
-
Was listening to a Jets podcast yesterday...apparently there are some attitude issues with JC Jackson with some comparing him to a potential Trumaine Johnson type. Patriots must've seen him as a potential problem (who may drop off when he gets paid) down the line.

This was a thrilling win last night and a game that I'd given up on. But the Cards...well they Metted things up didn't they. I'm also hearing a lot of hyper Mets optimists start making 86 comparisons to when the Mets went into St. Louis, took 4 straight, and wiped out the Cards for good that season. Bit early for that, plus the entire environment of baseball is totally different to make that comparison.
Sick of May. And sucks that Scherzer couldn't get the W for how he pitched. But what can you say, he gets the deGrom treatment.
