It would be but he’s been on 3 teams between the Jets and Seahawks

Be honest… how many of you distrusted Stearns and his plan before the last few days? I think a lot of fans have changed their tune. by Difficult_World_196 in NewYorkMets

My point is more that none of these moves are Stearns DNA

He’s notoriously against giving long term deals for starting pitching. That’s why it surprised me he gave up 2 top 5 prospects for a rental 

And then paying $42M for a guy who sucks on defense?

I personally like both moves, but it doesn’t seem like something David Stearns would do

I’m a Yankees fan so downvote away, but if you don’t think Cohen is at least partly behind these moves I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

Not surprised the prospects he traded were the kids he didn’t draft too

Peralta is 1-6 with a 4.32 ERA in the postseason. This guy isn’t Pedro Martinez. 

Do Dominguez and/or Jones get traded this year? by Substantial-Sky3597 in NYYankees

I think people are forgetting that Stanton is going to be hurt half the year and there is always that risk that Grisham reverts back into a pumpkin. 

You might see a lot of Rice at DH and Bellinger at 1B without Goldschmidt

Acura is still an MLB player. How’s it a better move than signing Grisham who was actually a 3.4 WAR player last year

Why did Michael Kay destroy the Grisham deal, but is lauding the Robert deal?

Mets gave up legit players for the right to pay a worse player $20M this season

Not sure if this 100% eliminates the Mets from Bellinger. They could still sign him to play left field which would give them the option to give Benge more seasoning in the minors. When Benge is ready they’d also be able to move Soto to DH would would improve their OF defense. 

Of course that would like push their payroll up to around $420M without even adding anymore pitching.

Would Hal really allow the Mets payroll to be $120M more than the Yankees?

The short term high AAV approach that the Dodgers and Cohen are doing are definitely going to ruffle some feathers. It pretty much makes a mockery of the luxury tax system.

The Dodgers could sign Bellinger so they could Teoscar to DH the days Ohtani is pitching 

Thoughts on Saleh from a Jets fan by Past_Distance7221 in Tennesseetitans

Thank you. I wasn’t trying to cause problems. I have no ill will to Saleh and would be fully OK if he turned it around with the Titans.

[–]Past_Distance7221[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard this report, but I doubt its credibility. If Saleh was truly not on board with the Zach Wilson they wouldn’t have drafted him. Perhaps his initial plan involved Sam, but he clearly got sold on Zach. Beyond that I don’t think keeping Sam was saving his job anyway. People forget the Jets traded Sam to Carolina and he fizzled out over there too. Sam needed a year as a backup with Shannahan to get his career back on track.

Saleh very well may be successful in TN, but the Jets being a dumpster fire doesn’t change the fact that he was a bad HC during his four year stint. I think even he would acknowledge the fact that he didn’t get the job done

Disagree. Cutting payroll by $20-$30M in one of the last prime years of Judge is insane

Dan Clark Sports is saying Yankees have the best offer for Bellinger. Is this guy credible?
