I'm sure Soto is salivating too come over, yu could have, machachst nite! Run around the bases, pokin yrself in the eyeballs.

Think outside the box!

Nothing like a good, dog n pony show, at Citi Field! Have one inside the stadium, n one outside, w the junk yard dog competition! Use Ladie Boy as the sponsor. It could work! Diversify!

Yes it is over.

Yes

This is honestly such a bad move and completely embarrassing. The negro leagues were like double a or high a compared to the mlb and the stats were not tracked as accurately. Pandering to black people like they are special needs. You can have them in the hof and celebrate the players, but this is changing history. Everyone in media has to say this is great and name the only 5 good players from the league or risk being called racist

Lindor has the worst AVE with RISP on the team. Lindor has a .249 AVE after 3 1/2 years as a Met. Lindor's WAR is 0.9 this season. Lindor has NOT made an All Star team as a Met. So he is an overpaid defensive shortstop. Bat him 6th or 7th. Stop coddling him like he is some superstar. HE IS NOT! Sit him a few times a month. Tell him he will get moved up if he performs.

Manny Machado starts the year off the same every year

Turning point? They've been pointed in the same direction for decades...tolerating losing. Winning players can smell it a mile away and stay away. Players that just want to get paid sign and collect checks.

Please don't add the NPB stats.

It's going to take a couple of years for the Mets to turn things around and for the prospects to prove themselves. There will be a fire sale and Cohen and co are going to try to fleece teams for the best prospects. This year and probably next year are a wash. Cohen needs to realize that his money can only do so much.

Don by his own admission, hates math, because he was bad at it in school, and is to this day. And since the "advanced" stats in baseball require slightly more than basic math skills to understand, he hates them, hates all analytics, and their influence on baseball. Because heaven forbid games evolve, or data be used to maximize player effectiveness. We should just hope that our team lucks into hiring a manager with "gut" and "instincts" to make the best moves to allow the team to win, and players should be evaluated same that they were in 1988.

are the negro league records and stats legit? stats were put under the same scrutiny as the mlb stats?

Silly argument about two future hall of Famers.

😂

Cohen refinanced Citi Field in the off-season and saved $200M. Look it up. Man knows how to make $.

As a Met, Curtis Granderson always hit below .200 to the end of May and he was lead-off too.

Just because they weren’t allowed doesn’t mean they should be put on the leaderboard because of guilt. Yes some of them probably definitely would have been in the mlb but that’s not to say their stats would have stayed the same it’s a what if you can’t have Josh Gibson there above everyone when he didn’t compete against them it’s not legitimate. There are better ways to recognize the black players than to try an alter history

Does DFA mean, he went too Texas?

Who caught the Mitt? One helluva give away! Never thought, Salvatore Dali would throw up his glove, up n over! Next time, throw a painting, n let me know!

Cohen is worse than Wilpons. At least Wilpon didnt have the money Cohen has.

Good luck getting rid of players with big contracts

Leaderboard goes woke

Billy Eppler is chuckling at David Stearns.

The Mets have a very gloomy future.

The only way the Mets will win again is if they play against a little league. Maybe.

As a Mets fan I'm not surprised where they are I knew they weren't going to make the playoffs this year... I am surprised with Diaz this year thou... Everyone else is playing like garbage.. Sterns and Cohen are a problem as well

Buck was not a good manager last year..... plain and simple. The team underperformed last year and doing much the same this year. Im a Mets fan but i don't miss Buck. Honestly....i miss Bobby Valentine and Terry Collins.

I haven't looked it up, but wouldn't we have some idea of how Negro League compared to MLB by comparing stats of players that moved from Negro League to MLB during the Jackie Robinson years?

As unfair as it may be the Negro leagues were the equivalent of a strong minor league so I guess we should include those numbers too

but juan soto is going there right??? LMFAOOO

That's what you get for running your mouth about Shohei "going to prison."

Fire Buck! It's his fault!

What if they all, wear those Bobby Valentines, fake nose n glasses, he wore in the dugout? W the handle bar mustaches? Hey! It's worth a try!

glaybor is a terrible baseball player who used to hit now he doesnt hit . he will get maybe a few million next year in some place like miami or white sox

The problem with going w these young kids is you don't know what you'll get. So like you said you'll be bad for 2-3 years and then what??? Trade them for young prospects again?? This is Baty 3rd year (2nd full year) and I don't see anything that makes me Wana say he's the future. No kid in or farm is having a good year. I don't want to give the rookies a chance bc then in 3 years (if they don't prove themselves) we are back to square one. The problem with Cohen is he wasted and spent money on wrong players (2 40+ year old at 43 million (which most likely would have gotten 30 million tops), giving Lindor a contract and signing older players. Letting Joey Cora and Wayne go was a bad idea, hiring a rookie manager. This Franchise has too many holes and it will get a lot worse before it gets better. We had to watch the Dodgers spend 1.2 Billion in the off-season, yet the richest owner in baseball aka Mets spent squat. Had to watch Yankees make a move for Soto, the Padres makes moves, The Rangers. This franchise is abysmal and won't watch till 2030.

I'm curious if Stearns has had tough stretches similarly in Milk?

That fumbling of words from Pete at 15:00 mins is, interesting… I know was mixing words, but it sounded bad 😂

The only pushback that's at all legit is that the record books were notoriously inaccurate in the NGL. But the benefits of doing this are far more than any negative. Putting these stats up there bring them to a whole new generation, and it IS important that people understand how we got where we are today. So even if we can't really know if .372 is his legit average, we can at least know that Gibson was an exceptional ballplayer. And one of the more tragic figures in baseball history, having died young and right around the time Jackie got signed by Brooklyn. Had he lived, he almost certainly would have been one of those brought in by other teams in the years right after Jackie. So anyone seriously complaining, tell them to kick rocks.

The only way the Mets can be a great team again is to get rid of the deadwood, play the kids, and hopefully, they will get enough talent back to put together a decent young team. Going after free agents or trading for veteran players makes no sense. This is going to be a bad team for two to three years, but Sterns can turn things around. Look at what he accomplished with the Brewers.

Cohen will need to implement a new gimmick. Big money free agent signings don't do anything anymore.

I’m curious 🤨, How many corporate luxury suites were already sold for 2024 & how much already came in from investors, cable, internet 🛜, advertising revenue ⁉️ My point is, this, owners already making money 💵 on the “ AKA Product / New York Mets Baseball ⚾️ “, why care about winning 🏆 if your already getting the Green ♻️💹💵🤷🏻‍♂️ MLB team makes money other then filling up the seats Study business side of the game and invest in a team, Amazing what you learn 😂 Also, Revenue Sharing, which I have mixed feeling about Rich teams contributing to Poor Teams

Mets ❓ Future ⁉️ 🤣

Poor Mets My dad was alive in 69 and 86 and he was so happy because our family was all Yankee fans but one day Cohen will prevail

Remember when a caller dared to compare Volpe to Lindor? Now look

Kay is so interested he's sitting reading his phone . As a di-hard Rangers fan the call was great , classic . And this doesn't happen on Yankee broadcasts ? Dave is totally right here .

Lost all credibility when you suggested Boras would drop Soto for not chasing an extra 10 million. As if Boras would drop his GENERATIONAL talent. Boras is there to do what is best for his client and what his client wants. If Soto wants to take the pay cut, Boras still gets paid. Boras isn’t going to take 0 instead of his pay day. This guy is a clown. How many other 50 mil a year clients are out there bud? Not many. Goofy take 😂

The Yankees can pay Soto at least $55M. They're already paying 30. If they add 25 to the 40 that's coming off the books, they can sign him no problem. Steinbrenner can then pocket the other 15 or get some cheap pieces for depth. People keep making it sound like the Yankees can't be in on Soto. That's baloney!

Alonso and lindor are hurting that lineup yet no one want to admit it. Two top players batting 220 ain’t gonna cut it

Boras isnt always for the best for players lately,Soto needs to drop him
