New York Mets 2025 Season

[sjc88]

We'd be crazy not to sign Robertson - rubber arm and loves pitching in NY.

No doubt Robertson would be a nice add. Of course, during the off-season he was looking for “around” $10m. Just keep in mind Mets are paying the luxury tax penalty so $10m is like $20m or something like that. Ain’t my money….but. I’ve also read Fillies are sniffing around Robertson.

He declined a $7m option from Texas.

Rangers' reliever Robertson declines option

Reliever David Robertson declined his $7 million mutual option with the Texas Rangers, triggering a $1.5 million buyout and becoming a free agent.

I think that was Logen he ran into Marillac is a huge optimist and has the Ike Davis jerseys to prove it. You don't grow up going to school with Yankees fans arguing Rey Ordonez is just as good as Jeter without being a glass half full guy.

Where did all these negative, entitled fans come from? Always thought Mets fans were all dreamers.

I’m a negative dreamer if that makes any sense. I was 6 in ‘83, that’s the 1st year I can remember so I’m alive long enough to remember the dream season but around long enough to see the shoe almost always drop.

Stanek and Butto need to shape up.

It’s funny. On Twitter, of course, there were fans hollering for Stanek to have the closer’s job over Diaz just a week or 2 ago. Morons.

My first memories of the Mets were early 90s. You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it.

Please stop - you young bucks only think you have it bad. You didn't wake up as an 10-year old to the news that Tom Seaver was traded for a bucket of batting practice balls and a rosin bag...

Worst part was I heard it (Seaver trade) on 1010 Wins that morning before school and having to go take Final Exams that day. I still don’t believe they did it.

You’re a youngin too you didn’t live through the 120 loss season of 1962.

Nope just my two favorite players in the world traded for stupid Juan Samuel which helped lead down the path of crap. I still remember exactly where I was when I heard it on 1050am. Heart, humor and soul of the team, gone.

I know Seaver came back to the Mets but my one vivid remembrance of him is winning his 300th vs the Yankees.

I was literally looking at his stats on sports reference directly before coming here.

The stats…not great, Bob.

These stats make it make more sense.

These stats make it make more sense.

Syracuse is a nightmare to pitch in. Not as bad as the old PCL our AAA played in, but still awful.

Tidwell is missing more bats than Sproat so far. Only 27 innings in 6 starts, though.

Butto and Stanek read yesterday's comments in Red Fans and shaped up tonight. Combined for 3 innings, no runs. Stanek's 9th inning of 1K and total of 6 pitched impressive.

Huge to see Alvarez going the other way. When he “over swings” he is an occasional HR hitter. However, when he goes the other way he becomes so much more dangerous and just a better hitter. Now let’s see him continue to do it.

Funny how some relievers don’t bother us. If Maton had the 3 games Stanek just had, I’d hate him. Stanek doesn’t bother or worry me at all.

Butto will be fine too. He’s a very particular pitcher I’ve noticed. He needs a proper warmup and he needs his full rest. Change either of those conditions and he’s very likely to flame out at this stage of his career.
