New York Mets 2025 Season

If Vientos were hitting we would notice it less though.
So Acuna has defense, elite speed, is batting just a shade under .300
would anyone be against him being the everyday 2B?

kid just stole a base as I hit post
also forgive me, I am looking at his stats now, he basically is the everyday 2b. I didn't realize he has played in 31 games this year. That is much more than I thought
Nothing wrong with pushing McNeil a little bit. McNeil tripled after the Acuna hit. That’ll work.
I watch Soto and when he hits a HR my first reaction is oh he just missed that. I call it easy power and the ball just floats away. Even the ball robbed in St. Louis. I thought that was just any easy fly ball but he was literally robbed at the fence otherwise that was a HR.
Alonso hits it and your like damn that’s gone. Totally different types of power. Anyone else notice this or am I crazy?

I’m not a McNeil guy. Sirvoo has radicalized me
Both are very good/luxury utility guys. Definitely think acuna’s speed makes him very dangerous
Lmao I want to see him succeed if he keeps being given opportunities. In an ideal world he would just be a bench player you can bring in to PH against righties late in games. Something about his attitude rubs me the wrong way!I’m not a McNeil guy. Sirvoo has radicalized me
The Marte/Winker platoon has not hit for average or hrs but has produced 22 rbis which would be 3rd or 4th on the team.
Not great but not awful either

Will easily prove to be one of the top ten all-time worst trades in Mets history. And that's saying something...Javy Baez was exactly what the clubhouse needed
Also...
Chicago Cubs didn’t initially want Pete Crow-Armstrong in Baez trade, ended up dodging a bullet

Just reading that Rafael Devers a career 3B is refusing to play 1B for Boston. Got me to thinking about a trade. Now I ADMIT this will NEVER happen because of the Salary involved and many other reasons including Devers being somewhat selfish.
However, the Mets could offer Jeff McNeil ( versatility and to offset some Salary) and Mark Vientos for Devers. Vientos (in theory) could play 1B for Boston. A hitter who would probably love the Green Monster. The Red Sox get a potential 1B with some pop and a versatile McNeil piece.
The Mets would be locking in Acuna to start at 2B. In addition, Baty keeps a role until Mauricio proves he is ready to play.
A lineup of Lindor, Soto, Pete and Devers would be deadly.
Hey ain’t my money. Just a little too fantasy baseball but just for fun to spitball on a rainy day.

Irked Devers tells Red Sox he won't switch to 1B
Rafael Devers said the Red Sox approached him about the idea of filling in as Boston's first baseman but said it's not in his best interest to make another position switch.
Him and Soto are good friends. I don't think its a crazy idea. But I also think we'd have to give up a lot more than just McNeil (who is maybe a negative asset) and Vientos. Probably need to include Sproat and another pitcher, plus Acuna or Jett.Just reading that Rafael Devers a career 3B is refusing to play 1B for Boston. Got me to thinking about a trade.

Acuna and or Sproat are non starters for me. I guess that’s part of the reason my proposal was admittedly “pie in the sky”. Giving them top line prospects plus Major League players and eating contract would be bailing Boston out big time. No thank you.
However, Boston would not exactly be in the driver seat here. He has a huge contract he just signed a couple of years ago. He seems to be undermining Management and the Manager. Not exactly a positive for any acquiring team either.
I expect Boston will placate this guy somehow. Clearly this has been brewing since they signed Bregman who really wasn’t a fit. I guess that’s the end of my fever dream.

McNeil is a negative asset with his contract. I actually think Vientos is a more valuable asset than Devers over the next decade. We still have 5 years of team control, and he seems like a really good extension candidate.
I am a Vientos fan. The Mets? Not sure they are completely sold yet . I remember them sitting him for….Daniel Voglebach. He needs to do more than just last season to get an extension. Right now he’s hitting .220. Like Devers he is below average at 3B. No hurry for an extension right now given the team control.
Surprisingly Devers is just 28 years old and Vientos is 25. No matter this fantasy is not happening I was just spitballing.
