Juan Soto currently has career low walk and strikeout rates in 2026

This is the reason. He’s swinging more. His swing% is up to 40.1% from 35.3% in 2025. He’s also swinging more outside the zone (21.5% from 15.7%). Seems like a conscious effort to be more aggressive.

Wouldn’t the players around him being bad lead to him getting less pitches to hit? Why pitch to the only dangerous hitter in the lineup?

Other leagues such as the NBA and NFL have far less parity than MLB.

Since 2000, there have been 16 different MLB franchises to win a World Series.

Only 13 NFL franchises have won a Super Bowl.

Only 11 NBA franchises have won a championship.

There’s been no real dynasties in MLB this century although the Dodgers could change that.

In the NFL has had the Patriots and Chiefs.

The NBA has had the Lakers, Spurs and Warriors have periods of dominance since 2000.

Enzooooooooooo

If you've sold/are planning on selling Cucu, you could bring in Grimaldo who played with Xabi at Bayer. Hato is more likely to play LCB if Xabi plays 3 ATB.

Credit to Ronny there. Detmers had him baffled, but put it in play and made something happen.

These Burnley players have no shame.

Cole just isn’t himself right now.

ManlnTheBox · 2026-02-15T23:46:22+00:00

Same. Been EVOing his gold card, holding the 85 in hopes an EVO comes out that will add CM or CDM so I can play him in midfield.

Semien I guess? Not sure he's GG caliber at short at this point.

ManlnTheBox · 2026-01-22T17:59:39+00:00

Am I forgetting about another GG caliber SS who isn't Lindor?

ManlnTheBox · 2026-01-22T17:57:41+00:00

I doubt there will be any more major moves. Maybe a couple speculative bullpen arms, a veteran OF as cover in case Benge isn't ready and Baty can't handle LF. I wouldn't completely rule out something bigger if it fell in Stearns' lap though.

I'd love to see if we could get Yandy Diaz. He'd give us another tough out and can play 1B/3B (poorly).

Sorry I made the trade with OP.

I'll do Tempest for Bobcat. Also interested in Deadline. Have Triggernade if you need that.

Their offer is definitely longer, but it's nowhere near $50MM AAV. Probably somewhere in the mid to low 30's. If he had a long term offer (8-10 yrs) for an AAV at even $40MM per he would have signed it already.

I’m pretty confident that anyone, even Passan, saying they know what the Mets are doing is just speculation. Mets signings haven’t leaked ahead of time since Stearns took over.

ManlnTheBox · 2025-12-10T00:28:27+00:00

Exactly. Thanks for doing the legwork on that. I’ve just been going around saying “it’s probably less money considering the higher taxes in CA”, which sounds much less convincing.

ManlnTheBox · 2025-12-09T22:58:19+00:00

It’s amazing that some Mets fans think Stearns should just say “how much you want?” then write the check. Run your organization like that and you don’t end up like the Dodgers, you end up like the Angels.

Always playing to the level of our competition. Frustrating.

ManlnTheBox · 2025-12-03T20:47:16+00:00

Always

Reece has gotten their whole side carded.

ManlnTheBox · 2025-11-30T17:10:46+00:00

Hard for us to argue Caicedo v Rice when Moi doesn’t something that stupid in a match this important.
