wow.. that felt like an overpay for Rogers.. is the market now set??
Good.Without going into detail, it seems like the Mets sent way more than they should have.
He’s set to make $9.5 million next year. He’s not even close to worth that. Johnson is probably worth keeping though.If that's the case why would anyone trade for him now?
Count me among the people who agree it makes no sense to trade anyone signed for 2026 other than Murphy, and he only makes sense in a very small set of scenarios that likely don't exist right now.
I also think there’s value in freeing up that salary for bigger upgrades in the offseason, while identifying/extracting, as a trade return, some younger/cheaper relief arms that can fill those spots in 2026 and beyond.He’s set to make $9.5 million next year.

I can only be a subwoofer compared to youI had no idea Hayes had been so bad offensively the last couple years. .236/.279/.290 this year after .233/.283/.290 last year. WAR still likes him, presumably because of his defense, but still...woof.
Similar premise, but the return for Murphy would need to be much more extravagant. (I do think the likely need to make Acuña a most-times DH pushes the calculus, though.)Same for the Murphy situation
25 million saved between Murphy and Bummer. Probably just a couple million less than what Cease will get.Same for the Murphy situation

I think that'll be AA's first move just not sure if Boras will let it happen bc he will wait it all the way out and cost his guys money to do it. AA has wanted Cease for a while so I hope it happens. We could really use him next year.I think you'll be surprised at what Cease is forced to take. It'll be a pillow deal for sure.
But I'd sure love to bring him home.
Duran is a beastThat Mets trade was a huge overpay. Good for us.
Philthies close to acquiring Jhoan Duran. Hopefully Painter is involved
