That’s one of my main concerns. I would rather sign Rodon in that scenario because of his talent but I worry about this a lot. 

Setting aside owner involvement, I’d still rather sign the Bassitt deal. The Ray and Gausman contracts are gonna look like steals compared to him.

Hard to imagine the Mets allowing deGrom, Bassitt and Walker all disappear in free agency.

Easier to imagine them replacing with Rodon, Senga, and elevating Peterson full time to the rotation.

You are assuming they even want these guys back though.

Three holes is a lot to fill for a win-now team.

Not when you have their bank account.

And again, they may just not want those players anymore.

Not if they sign Verlander and/or Rodon.

Doesn't Bassitt require the signing team giving up a draft pick?  If that is the case then I am a hard no.  We  need to keep building.  We re not at a win now stage quite yet and Bassitt would not be the guy to put us over the top.

I don't think so.  I think the player has to be on a team more than a season before this comes into play.

He was tendered a qualifying offer and declined it.  He would cost a draft pick.

As for the draft pick, I love me some draft picks but this isn't a first round pick, it's a late second round pick.  You need to evaluate it's worth.

It’s a second round supplemental pick.  Probably somewhere around 75 or so.

I would offer 4 years for $75-80 million. Trade for Lopez and the rotation would be more than set.

The O's almost made the playoffs last year, have a full year of the ROY runnerup, should have a full year of the #1 prospect in the majors and the top pitching prospect should be in the majors most of the year.  If 2023 isn't a year to compete and go for all the marbles, when is?  I believe signing Bassitt would require giving up the O's 3rd pick.  We're not talking about giving up a 1st round pick for Ubaldo.
