New York Mets 2025 Season

[dk423]

Would rather hold onto our top arms if we aren’t getting a controllable arm in return.

I’m very happy with Taylor playing every day. We are elite (or really close to it) up the middle with him, Lindor, and Acuna.

The amazing thing is that Tidwell is the 15th best prospect/5th best pitcher for the Mets according to MLB. That's also not including Christian Scott.

Robert's a Gold Glover and was a MVP caliber hitter two years ago. Leads league in stolen bases and still playing strong CF defense. Still just 27 and under team control for two more years at below market value (20m).

I find it very tempting. If he gets back to even 80% of what he was, our lineup would be so deep. Probably the best in baseball?

Guy is hitting below the Mendoza line and barely hit the year before. He was an MVP candidate a couple of years ago but he ain't that guy any more. He is Jose Siri.

The prospect rankings are pretty brutal to our pitchers once they hit Syracuse. If you struggle at AAA at all you get rocked. Scott is the rare pitcher that cruised through there and he only pitched 9 games. I don't feel confident any of our pitchers -- even Scott -- projects to be a frontend starter. That's why I'd like to hold on to all of them and hope a few emerge.

I do like the upside of Robert. I don't understand what happened to him...he seemed to be on a J-Rod type of trajectory.

For the first time in my life, I am most confident in our organization to maximize whatever potential there is from the young guys. Sproat, McLean and Tong are all on pretty exciting trajectories. I'm also equally confident Stearns can find one in free agency out of nowhere (e.g. making a reliever into an ace, a reclamation project, etc.).

If they're comfortable trading Tidwell, then I trust that they think his upside isn't that high. Robert is definitely a luxury item so we shouldn't force it.

I agree. The Canning thing is bordering on witchcraft.

I am just not sure on Robert. He strikes out a ton and his .Obp ain’t great and basically has one big season. Of course, I’m not sitting around watching White Sox games.

I also have come to appreciate Tyrone Taylor. Guy is a very good defender and overall just a ball player. He’s not perfect but the more you watch him the more you like.

Unless the Pope is going to bless him I don’t want him. Hes like Mullins Revenge. Had 1 good year as Duke of Earlington then spiraled down hill
