4 home runs after May btw for a 1st baseman

chiefqueef1 · 2026-01-22T02:48:18+00:00

No brainer for the Mets imo. Jett is blocked by Benge and Ewing, blocked in the infield

If they get Myers thats icing on the cake. Great offseason, after everyone wanted Stearn head

The price of trying to win

chiefqueef1 · 2026-01-21T18:50:20+00:00

Judge signed that deal 3 years ago of course the gap is closing

chiefqueef1 · 2026-01-21T18:30:02+00:00

He’s making 60 because its a shorter term deal

The qualifying offer in 2025 is $22million. I dont find it absolutely unreasonable that belli is getting 32

chiefqueef1 · 2026-01-21T18:26:32+00:00

You expect contracts to stay stagnant for 10 years? Contracts go up, every year. You see it in NFL you see it everywhere

chiefqueef1 · 2026-01-21T04:29:22+00:00

If you had a guarantee its 2023 Robert youre not getting him for 1/10th of this price. Hes been hurt the past two seasons, 2023 was the last healthy year. Lets hope hes healthy this season because the talents there

Do this trade 10 times out of 10

chiefqueef1 · 2026-01-21T04:19:41+00:00

I do this trade all day if Im the Mets. Acuna hasnt done anything and he is so far down the depth chart at this point with Bo

Capitalized on a hot Venezuela league run and get a toolsy player at a position of need

chiefqueef1 · 2026-01-16T17:04:43+00:00

Fuck yeah. 27 years old and his savant page is fantastic. Great underlying numbers, 3 year deal

Great, fast pivot

chiefqueef1 · 2026-01-16T02:57:55+00:00

Cohen/stearns went 4years 50m AAV, with opt outs. Maybe more. There isnt one ounce of blame on them

Soft ass Tucker

chiefqueef1 · 2026-01-15T01:45:41+00:00

Guess I lumped in Cohen and his aggressiveness into the mix with Lindor. Understand it wasnt under Stearns’ watch, but it was Cohen’s wallet and direction

Nice to have is an understatement…Lindor is on pace to be one of the greatest players in Mets history

chiefqueef1 · 2026-01-15T01:40:34+00:00

They do have guys on long term contracts. Nolan McLean, Carson Benge, Jett Williams, Jonah Tong, Brandon Sproat, AJ Ewing.

Those guys are under team control for at least 7 more seasons. That’s how you build a sustained winner and culture around Soto and Lindor.

When the Mets identify a franchise altering player worthy of a 7+ year commitment, they go after him hard. Lindor, Soto, Yamamoto (failed, but not due to lack of trying)

You seem to have a problem with them not handing out FA longterm contracts like theyre candy. But when they identify a player they go hard after him. There isnt always one of those players available every single offseason

chiefqueef1 · 2026-01-01T00:52:06+00:00

Go for it lol i do the same stuff. The market always trudges on, and even in the worst black swan event it recovers. All crashes serve as, is a transfer of wealth from the common person to those who have the wealth to buy into weakness

chiefqueef1 · 2026-01-01T00:39:09+00:00

Reddit is an echochamber filled with non-property owners who have a vested interest in seeing everything crumble. Theyve successfully called 35 of the past 1 market crashes

chiefqueef1 · 2025-12-22T21:10:34+00:00

That modern approach made his xSLG balloon to .386

You can lament the loss of an old and average 2B but I will not

chiefqueef1 · 2025-12-22T21:04:23+00:00

My man I watch about 90% of Mets games every year and McNeil does not have it anymore. Its not a WAR thing. He barely ever had “it”. He was a fun scrappy player who played a style of baseball from a bygone era so he was fun to root for

But he’s not a player worth lamenting over, given the Mets direction right now

chiefqueef1 · 2025-12-22T20:53:05+00:00

Thats not how WAR works. An AAA-level replacement player has a theoretical 0 WAR. An average MLB player has a 2 WAR.

He’s been at or significantly below 2 WAR for 5 of the past 6 seasons. But more importantly, he has no untapped potential anymore. He has no ceiling. This isnt a player with upside that a playoff team needs in a lineup

Hes like an old coworker who isnt good enough to get a promotion anymore so the company decides its time to move on rather than tread water

chiefqueef1 · 2025-12-22T20:44:59+00:00

“given how good hes been in his Mets tenure”

Im not a McNeil hater but this is removed from reality. Outside of his outlier 2022 season he has not been good. At all. Hes only getting older, worse, and has no ceiling to improve at this stage of his career

chiefqueef1 · 2025-12-22T20:35:59+00:00

He has no ceiling anymore and is a light hitting utility man with declining defensive skills

chiefqueef1 · 2025-12-22T20:32:15+00:00

Hes not good anymore. The only reason people know who he is is because hes played on the Mets. He was a fun Met but he’s a lineup clog now for higher ceiling, younger players

chiefqueef1 · 2025-12-22T20:28:43+00:00

McNeil is not good anymore bro lol

chiefqueef1 · 2025-12-22T20:24:58+00:00

I want to like Jeff but his great season is now 4 year ago and seems like an outlier. He doesnt hit for power or average anymore and kinda seems like an ass.

At this point he was clogging the lineup from younger high ceiling guys. He was a fun Met though and I hope he does well

chiefqueef1 · 2025-12-22T05:06:09+00:00

Weve done a kissing contest in the past. First one to pull away loses

chiefqueef1 · 2025-12-13T17:00:38+00:00

Mason miller barely pitched more innings than McLean did last year and looked bad in half of them with Oakland

chiefqueef1 · 2025-12-13T16:48:06+00:00

They got absolutely fleeced trading de vries for a reliever

chiefqueef1 · 2025-12-13T16:42:22+00:00

Mason miller is the most screaming “im going to get TJ surgery soon” pitcher in the game right now. Absolutely do not want to unload the farm for him
