I know Max is good, but he's old and the Braves have been pretty good against him.
I do not expect the Mets to be particularly good on defense.
But again, it's not my money and there is no cap, so if Cohen wants to pay everyone 50 million more, then he can. Doesn't stop them from putting FF on the team and move Alonso to DH. He can have a 500 million payroll if he wants.
It's still the Mets and we still have dynamic young players so I think we will still win.
Very interested to see what Seager and Correa go for given this spending spree.

Scherzer's the one move that really makes them alot better. Cant even deny a 1-2 of DeGrom-Scherzer is incredible. The 3 bats they added help but they're basically replacing who were already on the team (Baez and Conforto), unless they end up keeping Baez too.

Yes but we learn the bullpen is the most important piece for a playoff team. I don’t doubt they try to sign Kirby Yates.

What else is there to say? Freddie is a franchise staple, super consistent and a clubhouse favorite. While I really like Castellanos, he’s inconsistent, plays meh away from smaller, offense-friendly parks and is mainly meh in the outfield.

Yates is out for 2022, he had TJ, probably gonna take a 2-yr deal to get him. Similar to Kahnle's deal with the Dodgers.

Absolutely not. Nick cost a draft pick and is terrible defensively. I'd prefer to not go 6 years with Freddie but it's probably gonna take that much to keep him.

He got TJ at the beginning of 21 spring training.

I was under the impression Yates should be ready to go in 2022

FA splurge on mostly short term contracts with an owner that seems willing and happy to pay the luxury tax indefinitely. I imagine other large market owners are going to push heavily for increased CBT penalties.
It will be interesting to see how Cohen’s willingness to spend changes if the Mets don’t make the playoffs over the next couple seasons.

Probably now the Dodgers throw a lot of money to Ray or Stroman or both…

Probably Corey Seager. I dont know what they do on the SP front now though.
