I would. He is still worth 20 million.
I'm not against bringing him back but I need to assess the opportunity cost of exercising that option.

It is the opportunity of getting a 3+ Win pitcher at 20 million.
That said would Charlie get 20 million on the FA market. I guess that is the question. But in todays market. 20 million for a Morton type is a bargain. Heck we gave Hamels 18 million and he was t even healthy.
Having Morton as one of your five starters with the other four being who they are is a luxury. We would still have depth in AAA. And that would finish the rotation so we only would have a few holes to fill
I'm waiting out Degrom first. This team is so good its worth it for me to spend 80M for 2 years of hoping Degrom gives us a better shot at winning and make us clear cut favorites.
Every game Degrom pitched against the Mets would be nationally televised

That’s a lot of injuries waiting to happen.
That’s what I was thinking lol
Better have the Odog and elders of the world on standby.
But healthy it would be a hellva rotation.

Yes. He’s worth the money.
If degrom wants to come then you go 6 man rotation

I have a feeling at the end we finish trading Soroka away.

Pass for me. Maybe if he can live with $12m.

Maybe talk to him and see if he would come back for 12-14 million if the team declined the option?
It’s going to be the decision that effects other moves for sure. It’s hard to see Ian or Muller back in AAA.
If we keep Morton and Soroka is back to 80% of his previous self, it could open the door to trade both of them. I don’t even know who we’d go after but it’d be an option.
We’d still have Tarnok, Shuster, Elder, and Vines in AAA with Dodd and Salinas in AA to bridge the gap to the next wave of SP prospects.

Morton probably just retires if that conversation happens.

Why sell low? Both have options. You need depth.
Extra rest helps pitchers.
Question is how much can he spend? If he invests that much in starters what does lf, dh, ss and the pen look like?
We should offer him another deal.
Takes less for next year and another option for 2024. If we decline the buyout would just be the difference of what he took less for.
Sell him on the idea of getting DeGrom.

I don’t think I would know how to process JDG signing with us. I associate big name free agents the same way I think of rich people buying a yacht.
