I like Myers as well, but I wonder if he's going to crack $10 MM AAV on a one-year deal. Nice RHH option in LF, but can't back up in CF, which Duvall could do. Has played a lot of 1B, so we'd have a legitimate back-up at this position.
Haven't heard much about Duvall. I still think he's an option to come back depending on what happens between now and mid-January when the dust has settled.
One of the things I've noticed over the past decade is that with bigger contracts for star players and extensions for younger promising players, the middle class player really gets squeezed. Sometimes there's a mad rush in January after the big furniture has been put in place and teams are deciding what they want for end tables.

It’s a fair point. We really don’t know how the new rules will affect the game but we have a better chance to compete with a great defender than if we don’t. He not only throws well but his game calling and pitch framing also are really good. He’s the total package defensively and much better than Contreras. He should have a positive effect on our pitching staff. I think his durability also needs to be acknowledged. He played almost every day for Oakland last yr. Pretty remarkable for a catcher. I believe fans will learn to love him pretty quickly especially if he hits like he did last yr.

I think defensive stats will be a whole new game after this year. could be more vaulable.. could start seeing teams just going with the best bat possible as MLB continues to drive towards more offense.
xwOBA is one stat I saw that he seemed to seperate.. so maybe that one stat versus the other 12 is more important. guess we will see.

One thing i've mentioned several times is that we cannot start off the season slow as we did the past 2 seasons. Our WS run was a product of the Phillies and Mets being average. Last season, the Mets played like I expected them to under the new manager. I expect that to be closer to how they perform this season.
If we dig too big of a hole early, we won't catch up, especially being that we play fewer games head to head with the new schedule.

just get in.. be healthy..
I wonder if they will have that week off for teams with byes. That seemed to hurt most of those teams.
what 12 more? they’re likely factored into xwOBA. what year are you in son?
lol the rule changes are pretty universally agreed to make defense more important and you say maybe it will make teams care about it less. whatever you want to think

Rodon to the Yankees 6 year $162m
Happy for Rodon as a NC State guy. But dam these contracts are nuts. With his injury history. Crazy

27 million a year for a 30 year old pitcher. What could go wrong. Fried will be 30 or 31 when he’s a free agent. That’s likely the starting point when he hits free agency in 2025. He gone. I wonder if we do trade him ahead of his free agency to recoup something? It’s hard when we’re contending, but objectively it’s the smart play.

There doesn't seem to be a "plan" for the NYM. Just stacking and stacking players.
That Nimmo deal is bonkers.

I believe Cohen is playing real life fantasy baseball and the Mets are his team.

Hahahaha watching the Mets fans meltdown would be glorious. I think Cohen needs at least another 4-5 seasons of finishing in second before he taps out and sells.

it would be funny to watch the Mets finish 3rd with a 400 million payroll.
