I have actually been wrong many times but not this time. ;)
Well, if you were right, I'd agree with you.

Cody Bellinger to the Yankees. Shockingly.

5 years, $162 MM.

This after the Mets acquire CF Luis Robert Jr. from the Chicago White Sox in return for infielder Luisangel Acuña and right-handed pitcher Truman Pauley.

Everybody making moves but us.
And it's really just one move we need to make, go get a top second baseman like Donovan, Marte or Hoerner and let Emerson play third. I mean really, that's it.

Oh no we have to give Cole Young who might be the most boring Adam Frazieresque baseball player of all time, "RUNWAY"

I just had a second thought on Emerson, he's probably not ready. And Williamson can barely hit the ball to the co-ed line. Ugh.

The Mets are killing it this offseason. And we're here like, "We just need a bat..."

This should've been the minimum the Mariners did for 3B...

If they start the season with Young or Williamson at 3B, I'd be prepared for another blackhole.
