Mets Hot Stove Talk--2025-2026

[MainMan]

We’re gonna be the most awesome defensive team that couldn’t hit a beach ball.

Wonder what happens with pete, if its all about suring up the defense and saving money, he's the next below average fielder to go

Semien makes his fit easier to see. His range can cover up for some of Pete, and now he can full-time DH at the backend of a five year deal.

This deal makes sense if:
We trade McNeil - which I’m definitely happy to do
Sign Bellinger or Tucker

If those two things happen, this will look like a great trade.

Who knows at this point, but I see it as a way of getting Pete back within a solid defensive group. Semien, Lindor, and Taylor will be a top 5 up the middle defense when they are in together. Baty steady at third. Probably set up to get a stud two-way player in right.

McNeil will certainly be the next guy out.

I don't disagree.

But Semien is on a trajectory to be an automatic out and DFA'ed by July.

I get what you are saying but with that 3 year $72m owed he will never be DFA’d. He’ll be our starting 2B until he’s 38 years old.

Then again Stearns already had Cohen eat the $34m for Frankie Montas so you never know.

I miss those bygone days when we paid guys like Verlander and Scherzer not to play for us.
