He’s correct in the sense that well-sourced, fully-contextualized historical parallels spark excitement & curiosity in the left-leaning mind the same way anger-driven, fact-free superstition does for the far right. But we all know those things are not 2 sides of the same coin.

The entire point of getting a guy like Stearns is for him to use his mid-market creativity to fill out the roster with diamonds in the rough while using the owner’s financial might to dominate the top of the market. So far, this offseason has been anything but

I don’t think Stearns nor Cohen are idiots, or that they don’t know what they’re doing, I’m just having trouble at the moment seeing the big picture, or being on board with it.

Big market GMs overpay for star players. Half of this contract would be a savvy move, this is an outrageous sum for a guy like this

For reasons I do not understand, I truly don’t think Stearns wanted to re-up with Díaz. If he did, that small gap would’ve been bridged

David Stearns assessed this player and decided to more than double his salary. Tis the season!

Ahhhh… that was one theme that did not occur to me.

$20M AAV for that guy? Look at how poor his production was as recently as 2024. Passan says he’s essentially Pete’s replacement. Could not hate the move more.

Theme for top row is obvious, but what’s the middle row? Was thinking LCS MVP but A-Rod never won that

3, all Mets. Hoping the universe bends towards justice & Roger McDowell ticks down as the day goes on.

7, all Mets… sort of. Traber was drafted by them but was shipped off in the Alomar trade before appearing. Knew GM Jr. would be a landmine

Jack Leathersitch is an awesome pull! He had a really live arm & then Wally Backman ruined him— had him go like 3 innings in AAA a day after he made an appearance in the bigs, surgery followed and he was never the same

Aaron Harang as a Met feels like it never happened, and I’m a Mets fan!

7 Dicks— Chad Qualls counts, since he looked like the biggest one ever after fist pumping himself into a tumble

Maybe it all works out. I’m just sad because they didn’t win it with Piazza, Wright, Reyes, Beltran or deGrom, etc. & now Pete, Diaz & Nimmo all won’t be on a Mets championship team. “Rooting for the uniform” is empty, the emotional connection with the players is what makes it worthwhile.

Lovelady wants to go by Dicky but the powers that be won’t let him, so I think he counts too

5, all Mets. Bonus: Agee & Davis as well as HoJo & Terrell were traded for one another

I’m more sad for sentimental reasons, thinking of the missed opportunities in ‘22 & ‘24. Also, Dodger fans do not deserve a Narco light show after the bottom of the 8th.
