I have actually been wrong many times but not this time.

Well, if you were right, I'd agree with you.

All good, brother. Twas a good worthwhile debate and I appreciate and acknowledge your points.

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..."

[bpj]

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.

It's not like the three J's aren't aware. I hope I'm wrong but my gut tells me they are going to cross their fingers and wait until the trade deadline again. I think that's a huge risk. Makes you wonder what Naylor is thinking about now.
