It's pretty pathetic that the Mets have to scrounge around every back ally searching for a GM and manager. This guy Ebbler is just a placeholder until one of the real GMs (no pun intended) becomes available. I hope that we can at least snag a real baseball manager and not some analytics dweeb from the minor leagues or wherever with no MLB managerial experience again.

We have a lot of work to do this off-season and we're not off to a good start. I have an ominous sense of doom about it.

lol you're just feeding into the media.

mets and epller have talked for awhile now, it's just that the media was busy reporting the people that said no -- remember when sandy said they're talking to people that haven't even been named? that was billy.

the media has an agenda, like for starters the yankees have only hired white managers in their entire existence yet no reporter has ever bothered asking why that is.

Cohen should hire you for the PR Department. 15 years here and I haven’t seen you criticize the Mets once. :lol:

Mets made a nice pickup yesterday by signing former Cardinals first round draft pick OF Nick Plummer.

Matz signing with the Cardinals was a good move for him. Robbie Ray could be our next move even though we’d lose a draft pick.

Losing PCA in the Baez rental was dumb.

mets traded one of their weaker prosepcts for a rental, a prosepct that had a shoulder injury that could zapped the power he never had in the first place.

alvarez, vientos, mauricio, and baty are all way, way, way better hitters.

We're looking at Gausman, Ray and Scherzer. Reading Stroman is furious with the Mets. I would like 2 of them from those 4 and Rich Hill for depth.

Now that we have Canha, Marte and Escobar... Dom Smith, JD Davis, McNeil will be available in the trade market.

We always have Cano and Guillorme at 2B.

I’d rather use whatever money we have left to sign Robbie Ray. But c’mon, I thought the Steve Cohen wasn’t going to let the luxury tax be an obstacle to bringing in the pieces we need.

mets aren't operating with a budget.

the issue is semien is a better player than baez and didn't get more than 170 million, so baez's market is set unless there's a team that'll give him the extra cash.
