26. Savant w/ extreme social anxiety except when it comes to talking baseball. Working my dream job for the @Mets! Numbers/Patterns/Memory are my traits. Sorry if I come off as awkward or rude, I’m working on it! Epilepsy/5x surgically repaired shoulder

To him any longer than that unless he moves to DH. We need our lineup to have more protection for Soto, and Pete unfortunately cornered us to where we could really use him. If he signs back, great! But if not, a trade for Vladdy would be more impactful than Cease. The phones must be active!!

When hiring Scott Boras left a sour taste in my mouth, paired with his interactions with media during his struggles, made me feel moving on is the right decision. It sounds like the Mets are willing to give Pete one more year until Vladdy is a free agent (he’ll be a Met), but will not commit 1B

Line for Pete and has moved the org in the right direction. One home run and blind loyalty does not = World Series. It handicaps the roster and payroll for play that can be replicated for significantly less $, a rookie or improve via trade. Pete’s overconfidence and lack of self awareness

He is trending downwards both defensively and offensively, and is getting slower. He is destined for DH, and should be playing there now to maximize his value. His insistence on playing 1B and factoring that into his negotiations has severely impacted his market. Stearns has already given the firm

smart. Cease has been dominant longer and would really round out the rotation. Only prospects I feel should be untouchable are Sproat and McClean.

Pete is a diff story. Trust me the scouting reports aren’t pretty and there’s a reason he has 0 interest around the league other than desperate teams

+Hefner’s skills and recent track record, the farm system (both for trade purposes and for young MLB-level talent), and Steve’s obvious full blown commitment to spending (wisely)+winning along with the fun last years team had, signals positively for the Mets and the family style culture they built

Oh! That’s a name I haven’t seen mentioned but would also be open to taking on Sonny Gray’s contract. I think Hefner would be able to work wonders with him. I know Tanner Scott was discussed during the season but would like to see them get involved again

Has anyone told Scott Boras?

knowing the chemistry won’t be thrown of at all now that he’s back! His support of the pitching staff this postseason was a huge positive boost. I look forward to seeing what he can bring out of the new rotation as well as continue his Chris Sale-esque mechanical changes! A great early Xmas gift.

We saw how important relationships and vibes are for a teams success this year - with Manaea being one of the more prominent supporters of his teammates and being a leader - having him pair up with his friend Montas as well as last years squad, this signing truly provides a sigh of relief knowing

Never really heard him being mentioned as a possible trade target, however, he was categorically lumped into the SP “trade targets” that the Mets should be in on, on most of the larger networks trade proposals. I think the focus was/is Manaea/Sasaki with trade targets being a distant second choice

If they make a trade it would most likely be for a BP arm and/or Bench/DH. Pete is most likely back with the Mets which would likely bring us over the last luxury tax threshold. I personally feel it’s time to move on from Pete but having him in a lineup with Soto is enticing.
