Just a heads up, Skubal to the Dodgers is a done deal. Skubal wants to be a Dodger so it's happening. They're working on the extension right now. It should be announced in a day or two.(I'm a Dodgers fan and I really like this team so I don't want to trade any of the guys but Friedman is built different. He will do anything to build the best team imaginable, sentiment be damned.)

>Tyler Rogers signs with the Blue Jays it's over

I think boy genius is betting on Mark Vientos to replace the Mets. He is the only right handed slugger that could possibly replace the Alonso production as a 1 to 1 player; it's just absurd because he had such a bad last year. I remember Stearns did not want to give up Mark for Louis Robert Jr last trade deadline, so he loves Mark a lot.
>>152470964replace Alonso*
>>152470964Vientos can't play defense and might be the slowest man alive. The Genius talked a lot about run prevention but he is going to replace Pete with the one guy worse than Pete in the field? Shit makes no sense lmao.
>>152470989He would obviously be considered a DH for Stearns. I think his time as the 3rd baseman or even the 1st is largely finished. The base running was a problem too you're right.
>>152471033so who plays first, McNeil? Good lord.

>>152472318based Stearns making moves

>>152472378He's a genius. Sorry for doubting.
>>152472378>20 million AAV for Jorge PolancoI really want to see him horribly tortured
Kekk'em tho
similar money to what contreras is owed. polanco is a couple years younger.
>>152472520He’s also never played first base before
David Stearns operates like a guy who just watched Moneyball for the first time last night
>>152472318>>152472360>>152472397Oh no, metties, no..... he needs to DH, not play the field most days....
NOT MY METTINERS
>>152472555He played part of an inning there, I think. Geno actually played first more than Polo. Mets said he could play third too and I'm just like, there's a reason we called up Williamson after a single game of Polo at third. Maybe this is a stop-gap $40m deal, and the Mets will release him at the deadline.
>>152470964>awful defense>same bad arm as Pete>slugger only in late 24 season>surprisingly slower than fucking fat Pete>it’s cheaper Lmao of course obvious choice for a Jew

FAGGetiners ..kek
>>152472659Mets haven't ever had a real DH though
>>152472836I’d rather be Jewish than Mexican >pepefact.jpg
>>152472836>>slugger only in late 24 seasonHe had a .229 ISO this season, what the fuck are you talking about?
>>152472874Sounds like jew cope
>>152472869He can play second twice a week or whatever, to keep himself healthy, but his value is definitely at dh after the last couple years. The blurb from the mets beat reporters make it sound like he's an infield utility guy which is kek, even jej worthy.
>>152472885It’s Saturday goy, fetch me the stove news and I’ll give you a shiny new quarter.
they are probably going to rotate mcneil, polanco, and vientos through 1B/DH with mcneil also getting reps at 2B and OF
>>152472928I actually like this signing. $20M is a reasonable price for his production, and the Mets have been using a rotating cast of bums and inconsistent rookies at DH for years, it's been a dead zone.Stearns-bros are we back?
T W E N T Y (20) million american dollars a year.... I hope the mets get April Polanco and not May Polanco
>>152473001>>152473003Jorge Polanco.... platoon man?
Which players would you like to see rotating or gyrating?
R.I.P.
>>152472928>>152473003While the M's would have never given that money, it's probably still a good deal for the Mets, I don't think It's far of reach to say he will be able to accumulate 4 WAR in those two years to make that contract worth itHe’s projected for 2.3 WAR next year, and teams generally pay about $11 million per win in free agency
>>152473009>literally better than ohtani
>>152473034your mom on my pole
Metsbros, we are so back
>>152473050>>152473056If he tweaks something and can't hit from the right again this is going to look incredibly stupid. I'm just glad he's fleecing those dumb jews in Queens but I really doubt this is better than a panic overypay from da mets.
mariners need to replace 26 homers
I need to be bent over and filled up!
Leave second base to me...>delusional mets fans are actually calling polo a utility guy because Jerry and Dan had him play the corners twice this yearAbsolutely baffling, I mean for FORTY MILLION DOLLARS you'd expect more but kekkerooski mets, kekkerooski indeed!
>>152473217Chop on, brutha!
>>152473236What are you talking about? 1B/DH is hardly a utility player.
>>152473070>we need to get better defensively>lets get a guy that played 1 game at first last yearStearns is going to be gone in two years max
>>152473198eugenio suarez?
>>152473446i don't get the feeling he's a priority.
>>152473311why are people penciling him in at first?
Eugaynio Suarez
>>152473486the little imp passan declared it so
>Krazy eyes killa to the MetMetsiners is eternal
>>152473506I doubt he will be primary at first, and he wont at 2nd because they traded for Semian. Like maybe he plays 10 or 20 games at first but I doubt he is going to be playing 150 there
>>152473512That sounds right. Passan just wanted to pile on the Mets
>>152473307Brah the mets front office just dumped 40 mil on old and busted crazy eyes, their fans are simply assuming he's a utility guy now.
>>152473486because he spent most of last season at DH and has knee issues
my team is gonna sign (or trade) for someone "big" today..
>>152473534Mets need a DH thoI just assumed he would be DH.
>>152473446What's Geno's market if Polo is worth $20m/yr? I can't imagine the mariners paying it.
The only thing I like about this move is that Polanco looks like Bubbles from the Wire
Dipoto is cooking a trade with the Rays as we speak
>>152473523I think he’s mostly gonna DH tbqhwu, lotta stove season left>>152473551
>>152473578That's where he belongs but wasn't the whole issue with Pete is he'd need to DH a lot more and they didn't want to block their other guys who need to dh like soto, semian, and mcneil? Polo ain't going to need to dh less than Pete.
>>152473627The issue with Pete was his defense and the belief that he won’t age well for his body type. Semian is here to play 2B, Soto will stay in RF, and McNeil ain’t here come the new year.
>>152473651I see and what defensive upgrade do they have at first presently?
We’re so back
>>152473670they dont have one. They haven't fixed the defensive issues at LF and 1B yet.
>>152473670None but it’s only December 13th. Bellinger or Contreras are likely targets.
1B defense is the domain of small market frauds
>>152473769defense in general desu
>>152473687>>152473700How is it possible neither new york team knows what they're doing at first after the winter meetings?
>>152473780the winter meetings are more like the start of the offseason than the end of it
>>152473780the Yankees should be fine with Ben Rice at first. He’s been great, and he’s probably the only rookie they’ve developed in recent years who can actually hit
C - Alvarez1B - Polanco (coming from 2B/3B/SS)2B - Semien3B - BatySS - LindorLF - ??CF - McNeil/??RF - SotoDH - VientosWhat do we think, Metsbros? Is a short but fat Tucker contract enough to make this lineup playoff worthy?
>>152473769Taking some butcher who rakes and sticking him at first base is a time honored national league tradition, before the faggot cocksucker Manfred era that is.
As long as every team tries their best and has fun, then nobody loses
>>152473858Bellinger was their second most productive hitter.>>152473812Not for the yanks! They always make a splash.
>>152473870i think they'll try for bellinger unless the years get to be too much
>Mets sign PolancoI fucking told you all they were replacing all their english-speaking players with Dominicans. This is the new Moneyball strat. Unified clubhouse monoculture has been undervalued since Jackie entered the league.
yankees need to leave room to spencer jones. dominguez, grisham, judge, stanton, jones. that's 5 guys for the OF/DH.
>>152473870McNeil is as good as gone imo. Change that to Taylor/Williams/Benge.
>>152473903Polo at least knows English.
>>152473890>unless the years get to be too muchBellinger is not taking a short term high AAV deal. He knows as well as anybody that this is his last chance at a large long term deal.
>>152473563no one in my country knows what xwobacon is
>Diaz changed his number to 3 because he has three kids…He never struck me as a particularly bright guy but idk why this made me laugh
I wanted Okamoto, but I can't hate Polanco he was terrific for the mariners.
>>152473918McNeil being dealt is wishful thinking at this point
>>152473890>>152473955I don't understand why the Mets are afraid of years when they're willing to load up on AAV. Just put the old horses out to pasture and DFA them if money is no object, who cares?
>>152473955i agree that is what he might want, but teams will look at some of his general inconsistency, his lower walk rates, and his poor road numbers last season and might not want to go 5 years with him. guys who don't walk much and don't hit the ball real hard can fall off quickly and suddenly.
I would take #59 because it's the biggest non-spring training number
>>152474015they literally just did this with Montas, and traded away Nimmo as a salary dump. But it seems like Stearns doesn't want to make this a core part of his operation.
>>152474138If I'm Cohen, this is Davie's last chance.... and it ain't lookin' good!
Vientos' raw power is undeniable. I think it's smart to let him run with DH for at least half a season. you know he'll be good for at least 20 HRs with everyday ABs, but he could be so much more than that if he can purely focus on developing his offense
>>152473958We gotta change that
>>152474226Cohen should use his money to build a lab that can merge Vientos and Acuna. Vientos' power with Acuna's speed and defense.
>>152473870am I coping if I say this is a decent lineup? put Bellinger or Tucker in LF, or put McNeil in LF and re-sign Harrison Bader. how is that team any worse than last year's, offensively speaking? you don't have Pete's firepower but you do have, at minimum, a more even spread of offensive capability. if Baty keeps developing, then there are pretty much no free outswild card: throw Acuna in CF
>>152474226erm, bro, your FORTY MILLION DOLLAR dh tho?
>>152474314over two years
>>152474316It's more than double what he was paid last year.
>>152474314he's gonna play 1B. it doesn't make sense if they put him at DH. then you still have a 1B problem and a Vientos/Baty/McNeil infield logjam while Semien plays 2B or 3B or bothPolanco at 1B. Semien at 2B. Baty at 3B. Vientos at DH. clean. gives the young guys a chance to grow
only the jew genius can make signings like this
Stearns got his Hatteberg.
>>152474336His knees bro, think of his old man hips! $40,000,000 American! Don't do it!!
they could still get contreras, too, if they don't want to actually rely on vientos.
>>152474474if we do that, then may as well put Contreras at 1B and Polanco at DH right? or make them both compete for 1B during the offseason & STI do think it is in our best interest to give Vientos a full time chance at DH. his value sucks right now so he could end up being total dead weight if he's not given a chance to really develop. at least then we can make him into a shinier trade piece or rely on his power, or at least know he's dead weight for sure
What does Bo cost and is he willing to play second?
>Amed Rosario has agreed to a 1-year deal with the Yankees. Hit .276/.309/.436 between Washington and New York last year, and provides the Yankees with some much needed bench depth.DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>152474314If he gets more than 300 PAs at DH instead of 1B, that’s a huge overpay. We’ll see how it plays out
>>152474508i mean if they can trade vientos for contreras, that's probably a decent win-now trade
>>152473536Lol..
>>152474540>What does Bo costprobably like $32M/yr over 5 or $30M/yr over 8+. he is gonna want 5 so he can be a FA in his prime (32), or else he's gonna want a longer deal that carries his career> is he willing to play second?that would reduce quite a bit of his value. SS is arguably the most valuable defensive position if you have a good offensive bat and a good glove
Surely my Angels will get a 3rd baseman
how come no one talks about this dude being an absolute stud? he's gotta be a top 5 most valuable player in the game
>>152474659The only people that talk about him here claim his contract is awful and that KC should have let him walk
>>152474547It's so over for all of you now.
>>152474659Because most of his value comes from his defense and baserunning. He’s not even a top-30 hitter in MLB. Not saying I dislike him, just answering your question
PFMA
>>152474702>>152474708nah that's cope. he's a defensive and offensive stud. ranking Springer, Smith, Schwarber, etc. as superior players is laughable
>>152474576He'll have to or he'll get 0 PAs on the IL. I feel like everyone in Queens hasn't watched Polanco and just looked at numbers and been like ehhhhh I'm platoonin' here while gambling he has another good year.>>152474606JP is going to play one more year in Seattle probably before Colt Emerson takes the job. The value calculation will be a bit different but I like Bo as a big bat over Tucker or Bregman.
>>152474659>>152474708His value comes from being one of those rude flyovers that are ruining /our/ season every year.
>>152474659because he plays in kansas city. i wish my yankees would trade for him.
>>152474765i think they are open minded with emerson and might give him some reps at 3B.
>>152474799Correct, which is why I think they should pay Bo if he'll play at second.
>>152474817i can't see ownership paying that, so maybe a cj abrams trade?
>>152474747>ranking Springer, Smith, Schwarber, etc. as superior players is laughableI never said that. You’re misunderstanding my point. Players whose value mostly comes from defense and baserunning tend to be underrated by casual fans. He still had a 130 wRC+, he’s just not Acuña at the plate
Mason Miller for Alec Bohm. Who says no?
>>152474860I did understand your point. I think your sole reliance on sabermetrics to gauge offensive superiority is retardedyou misunderstood my point
>>152474862i think bohm probably ends up in seattle or boston
LMAO why in the holy fuck are the mets going to pay jorge polanco $20m a yearL O L

>>152474856If they're willing to get old man Marte for $20/yr and a bunch of players/prospects, they should not be scared of prime Bo for $30/yrBut I agree they're probably too cheap.

Here’s an update on the Bregman market:*toilet flushes*
>>152475890meaningless. top 100 prospects bust all the time
mets are the talk of the town, the belle of the ball
>>152475963doesn't make them less valuable trade pieces, so your first point is stupid and you should apologizeI for one am looking forward to Tong+more for Skubal by the trade deadline :^)
>>152475184Soto is atleast 4 years older than what he claims to be
>>152475993Do you think Tong is headlining the trade, IF it happens? At least dodger fans have the respect to say Sheehan and Glasnow.
>>152476045nah lol, I think clubs realize Tong projects as prospect who will need a lot of work. but he's young enough and has the natural movement for people to take a real chance on him.realistically, I think Skubal at the trade deadline would require some major pieces that we should absolutely not let up UNLESS we get Skubal to agree to an extension prior to the trade
>>152476045Mets and Yankees fans don't know ball. they think everyone is willing to trade them plug and play talent for some lottery tickets and castoffs.
>>152476151nobody's said that. stop the wordslop. respect yourself. be a man
mind you, padre fans got so ticked off at retarded trade proposals from mets xitter users that they fabricated a lie about lindor going to the padres for a bunch of trash and mason miller. this story worked itself all the way up to the previous GM of the mets who regurgitated it on his podcast as if it were a done deal. kek

I think /we/ can afford to gamble on Murakami. Why not?
>>152477606My understanding is you shouldn't be too concerned about his whiff rate against high velo because Ohtani had a similar stat profile. Maybe it's just a matter of just adjusting your eyes and swing to higher velo pitches.

https://x.com/francysromeroFR/status/1999972680502825115Several teams, including the Mets, Padres, and Pirates, have expressed interest in CF Luis Robert Jr. The White Sox continue to evaluate different scenarios. Multiple industry sources believe Robert Jr. has a strong chance of being traded this offseason.https://x.com/michaelgbaron/status/1999950556434145304With Mason Miller reportedly in the middle of these #Mets/#Padres talks, I should point out that Miller has struck out 39.5 percent of hitters in his career. Edwin Díaz struck out 40.4 percent of batters while with the Mets.https://x.com/mlbtraderumors/status/1999938445821526200Mets' Trade Talks With Padres Involve Nick Pivetta, Ramon Laureano, Mason Millerhttps://x.com/JonHeyman/status/1999930586266542181Jonah Tong is highly coveted in trade talks, and while Mets value him highly, they are listening.

https://x.com/SleeperMets/status/1999899170652451038The Mets are trying to trade Jeff McNeil, which multiple non-Mets team officials have claimed, per @Joelsherman1 "McNeil is owed $17.75 million between his 2026 salary and 2027 buyout. But McNeil had what was described as a minor procedure for thoracic outlet syndrome after the season, as The Post first reported. That plus his clubhouse reputation does not make him an easy player to deal despite his contact-heavy lefty bat and defensive versatility.”https://x.com/SteveGelbs/status/1999893142753906877Polanco is a good hitter from both sides of the plate. He’ll DH plenty, but can move around the infield. The Mets believe he’s athletic enough to handle 1B. This isn’t a 1-for-1 Alonso replacement. Not much could be. All these guys will be replaced in the aggregate. Solid start.

>>152485000why did he throw his bat only AFTER the late strike call was made? was his goal to confuse bichette?
>>152485008Investigate this
>>152485008>>152485080nah that's high heat and the right call

>>152485200She opted for full body pat down
>>152485200
>>152485214This was such a lame catch phrase I hated this era. AND THATS THE BOTTOM LINE!!
>>152485228Not everyone has good taste
The top of the strike zone confuses me. From what I've seen, they usually call anything above the belt a ball.
>>152485253It’s the midpoint between the bussy and the brain, officially.
>>152485253if you're referencing this pitch >>152485000that is 100% a ball, the umpire missed the call
>>152485267strike from where i'm sitting, bozo
>>152485239He was doing a gimmick boys did in third grade. I stopped watching around that point anyway, some time after wrestlemania 2000.
>>152485289I'm a dodgers fan if you're trying to make me upset. It was a ball, but Bichette is an idiot for leaving the bag.
>>152485267Yes but I've also seen them call balls on pitches that are clearly strikes. I don't think the umpires actually follow the rulebook definition of a high strike.
>>152484919is that how trent grisham cut his chase rate
>>152466854I am not happy with you retards bandwagonfagging my Mariners.Not cool.Fuck off.Reeeee
Belli has a streaky bat, he was not wanted by two teams for having major slumps, Dodgers and Cubs. Now they interested in him?
>>152485323idk, I feel like umps are pretty consistent. I think they make the correct call like ~94% on average. Personally if they miss I feel like they also miss on the outside to left handed hitters but I'm sure that's not backed up by the stats
>>152485367sure, not for what he wants tho
My prediction is there will be rise in the use of high fastballs with the introduction of ABS. The top of the strike zone will expand.
>>152485367I cant speak for the dodgers but any rumored cubs interest in Bellinger is not based in reality, I feel like it's just twitter randos with too much time on their hands trying to call their shot. I know Bellinger has been hitting lefties recently but if the cubs are going to add a Bellinger level type bat it will be from the right hand side. (basically only Bregman or Okamoto)Who knows, maybe he's forced to accept a 1 year deal, they'd be in on him at that point. I still don't see it considering they've been really weird with him, signed him twice and traded him once in the span of like 3 years kek
>>152485467He definitely has good market. Yankees and Mets absolutely want him and there should be no problem giving him 3-5 years bare minimum.
>>152485509Yeah, I just guess I thought I would add the caveat. He's good, Cubs just don't really have a need at OF/1B
>>152485516Bregman might be the player in trouble with getting a good contract. I think the Cubs could realistically get him if somehow the Red Soxs move on or bid poorly.
Uh… guys?
>>152485540It's too early to tell but I legitimately think we're headed there. I guess the Tigers have cooled on him and they were the only team to offer him a long term deal last off season. Cubs and Red Sox both gave him 3-4 year deals with opt outs. Apparently Boras went to the Mariners to try and get them interested. We'll see, I predict it's going to go deep into winter and I dont think he'll get anything beyond 3 years
