    Not sure what Alex will need at the deadline besides to strength the bullpen and bench some but a lot will probably depend on Rosario, Matzek, and Soroka.

    It'd be awesome to have the Mets lead down to 2.5 before Friday night's action

    Both teams have "light" schedules until the break outside of a series against each other (and a home series vs. STL for Atlanta)

    Mets:
    Rangers
    @Reds
    Marlins
    @Braves
    @Cubs

    Braves:
    @Reds
    Cardinals
    Nationals
    Mets
    @Nationals

This would be an average of 3.4 fWAR/year for contract. An avg around 2.5 fWAR/year might be acceptable money wise, but it would be disappointing
    He'll be 33 by year 5, i dont think he'll fall off a cliff by then.

    Disappointment is relevant. It’s fine if you expect him to perform at that level. Evaluating the transaction and contract should be decoupled from that.

    Really sucks blowing that game vs the Dodgers on Sunday. But we also had a couple games vs the Giants we could have easily lost so it evens out a bit i guess. Nola vs Anderson is heavily in the Phils favor. Win tonight, cut it to 3 and it's 3.5/2.5 or even 4.5 if we lose tonight and Thursday.

    This vaguely reminds me of the death nail thread from 2019 with the Nats.

    The Mets are projected to win 95 games which means the Braves need to go 52-35 the rest of the way to win the division.

    If Acuna doesn’t miss significant time and we get an additional starter (Soroka or trade), then I like our chances. If not, the Braves are pretty close to playoff locks with the expanded playoff format.

    I agree with you.

    Also, it’s death knell not nail

    If Olson would have taken that deal then sure. But I find it extremely unlikely that he would have.

    Still would prefer to win the division and get one of the top seeds so we dont have to play in the best of 3. But if so, you take your chances.

    I can’t even begin to imagine what Freeman thought when the news broke that we traded and extended Olson now. Before we all thought Freeman was like nah I’m good at AA’s offer but to know he didn’t even receive it. Jesus. Absolutely brutal.
