Yeah, they could get Ohtani and Snell in the off-season they would be looking good with Diaz coming back. Maybe need another bat as well, even with Ohtani.

Spending $50+ million a year for 10 years on a soon to be 30 year old outfielder/pitcher is totally a Mets move.
Ohtani wants to win. If that's a priority why would he want to go to the Mets?

Dont see Ohtani going to the Mets, regardless of how much money they offer. He seems like a West Coast guy too.

It’s a priority until you have 500 million staring you in the face.
Does he really want to be the next Mike Trout?

With that contract you can’t lose.

Easy to talk your self into the long term outlook for the team when the owner is willing to foot a 450m payroll for a 70 win team.
Mets have always been successful recruiting Japanese players. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ohtani signed there

I am here for the Mets to continue signing 30+ year olds to mega contract to show how cool they are.
Civale is probably better on a rate basis than Elder, but his problem has been one of quantity. The guy doesn't have a track record of making enough starts to be the MOR his rate stats suggest he is.
Since Cleveland was very clearly looking for MLB-ready offense, the equivalent return from the Braves would have been Grissom. While Grissom is likely blocked in Atlanta for his entire career, I'd like to see him used in a deal for something better than Elder with a better curve.

I get that feeling too.

Robbie Ray part deux
That's probably pretty close. I was thinking more Carlos Rodon, but Robbie Ray is probably a better comp.

Lot of action around Pham and Canha now. Not much on Quintana detected. Verlander remains the big Mets chip/story and due to all the issues (no trade, option, etc.), they’d prefer to have a framework in place today for JV deal.
