The Passan deep dive on the Correa unfolding.    He has a tidbit that as Steve Cohen was deliberating from Hawaii - his wife urged him to do it as her dad, a longtime fan, advocated for it.     One way to keep things with in-laws harmonious during the holidays!

But a Correa-Mets union was too appealing for Cohen to play hardball -- especially after his wife, Alex, a die-hard Mets fan whose father, Ralph Garcia, regularly attended games at Citi Field even through the leanest years, advocated for him to sign Correa.

Hope they are still enjoying their holidays as the deal is now in jeopardy.

Looks like the regular season series with probably the biggest Championship Probability delta for top contenders is also going to come with a side dish of hurricane. https://www.espn.com/mlb/stor

I don’t think I’d put it this way.  The Mets have had a remarkably consistent year.  They’ve been above .500 every month (15-10 in Sept.).  They’ve played .600.+ baseball in every month but one (13-12

Completely shocking that a guy who has spent half his career on the DL is having an issue with a physical. 

I did find it odd that the Mets went so public and so hard before reviewing the medicals.  I figured Boras sent that stuff over before they announced things.

Just go send your medical team to meet him somewhere outside the city and get him cleared before announcing anything guys.  It's not that hard.

Tagged Spencer Strider for 8 runs with Verlander going tonight, and still managed to lose 13-10, 6th straight loss to drop behind Phillies into 4th place.

Maybe some nervous days ahead for the Showalters.

While the Mets lost six straight, the Marlins won six straight.  On morning of 6/9 Marlins & Pirates are in the wild card, Mets would be going home.   Mets 2023 salary commitments are more than twice the Marlins and Pirates squads combined!

They got a lead on Alex Cobb tonight, and Buck even went to David Robertson in the 8th inning to try and protect it, but the Giants got the closer for a 3-run homer and its another Mets loss.

@Can_of_cornhad the good read on any payroll dollar subtractions being near double savings for ownership if they can't pull it back from the brink.

Carrasco, Robertson and Tommy Pham are the walk year guys if they try to cut their losses.

No one could have predicted this.

In a way, kinda sad to see it.  I like Verlander, I like Scherzer.  And Buck.  And Pete Alonso is fun.  Despite them being the Mets, there's a few guys on that team that I like.  

But, whatever.  They spent a metric ****ton of money and that's always obnoxious.

That's 2204.6 lbs to us normal folks.

They won 6 in a row before Blake Snell buzzsawed them last night, balancing NYM and SDP at both 42-47 entering this afternoon's Scherzer-Musgrove last game before the break.

Wouldn't be surprised to see those two Clubs use the break to get those TOR guys up there in consecutive team games.

Schedules to deadline:

NYM - vs. LAD, vs. CHW, at BOS, at NYY, vs. WAS, at KC

SDP - at PHI, at TOR, at DET, vs. PIT, vs. TEX, at COL

LAA - vs. HOU, vs. NYY, vs. PIT, at DET, at TOR, at ATL

All three Clubs out on the road when Trade Deadline happens during Series 6 after the break.    Mets visit OPACY the Aug. 4-6 weekend.

To the extent all GM's are hedge fund managers, there are asset classes of players you generally don't retain on Clubs with low/zero playoff odds.

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.

      I agree I missed the mark on a correct forum, and ask a moderator to please relocate to Rants as that game annoyed me yesterday. I appreciate the strong moderators here and know I'm not one of them.     Sorry for making it worse at a tough moment.    I won't bump it again, even ironically if we kick their butts in the playoffs.
