Tbh they aren’t catching the Dodgers. They also don’t have the money to spend after signing Jt Realmuto.

Again, this is why I said at the beginning of the off-season if you’re not committed to going all in and adding one big bat along with Jt and Schwarber, then you really should just let those two guys walk. you’re gonna get into a bad contract with them when you need that money freed up for your next core. Add on they still have no plan behind JT for the foreseeable future. Which is sad because you’ve known Jt was getting older and you needed his replacement two or three years ago. And yet you have done nothing to solve that

Now you’re gonna be stuck in more contracts when you likely need money when that new core is ready. Unless you were fully committing to the next two years with Wheeler to winning a title and going all out and then understanding you’re probably gonna be bad for 4 to 6 years then you shouldn’t have paid schwarber or Jt. just save the money this off-season, take a step back, let it build up and see where your core is after 2026 and after 2027 then made the splashes. Now add more money tied up to older players that hinders future moves on guys who likely declined when you need the money and you aren’t winning anything as you have the same fatal flaws with arguably a more questionable rotation.

no crap because there’s no one out there that fits what they need. These idiots had three years to solve a problem and it took him till January 2026 at least attempt to try to fix it properly.

lol

The ultimate what do you do here guy

Seriously, he hasn't done crap to improve the team since signing Turner.

Hey, at least they are going to host the all-star game this year. Granted, they'll be 15 games back by then but maybe Schwarbs can win the homerun derby as a consolation prize for the fanbase. What a gd joke DD is and shame on Middleton for allowing his incompetence to continue to destroy his team.

Luzardo and Duran but really in terms of signing guys in FA he’s been awful

People can disagree with me on this, but the reason why I felt like Bichette might not come here last night was they had four days to get a deal done. Just had a hunch someone was going to step in and give him a competitive offer. They have a zoom on Monday then three other days before Tucker signed. If they badly wanted him as much as the national media was making it out to be then I think they would’ve went out of their way to make sure it got done and locked it up. They did not. all the sudden they wanted too and offered him what he "wanted all along”.

I have a feeling that contract they offer him wasn’t exactly all he wanted. Feels like a Phillies leak and Bichette camp doesn’t care to respond cause it doesn’t matter at the end of the day. Obviously he wanted to opt out. But I have a feeling he wanted something closer to 225 to 250. the Phillies thought will nobody else is gonna give them this long of a contract with that type of so we don’t have to worry about that. So he will take it. they got screwed because the Mets got shafted with Tucker and just said F it.

DD wasn't in a hurry to get it done the stupid SOB. They got screwed letting him leave dinner without a deal. They had to know Tucker was going to drop and it would impact things.

Eff DD..... but more than that ....

EFF MLB ! the glorious game that I long have had a passion about for more than 50 years is just an absolute train wreck for so many reasons.

I hope there is a lockout after this season and I hope it drags on until the players and owners become irrelevant in societies eyes.

I'm done....... enjoy the crap show that is MLB boys and girls.

I've been telling you guys they won't make the playoffs...

Now I think the only thing that makes a difference is ticket sales, the only thing that DD and Middleton care about is putting people in the seats. They don’t care about winning, this team just gets worse every year and we deserve better than this crap. You can’t sell out games this season, this organization flat out sucks

I still think they win the division

#FireDombrowski

For the first time in my life, a Mets fan has a solid take

I still want Bader.

I understand running out of money and luxury tax implications.

But, Crawford is unproven.

We need one or two outfielders.

Crawford AND Bader.

Marsh returns

Bader returns. (He doesn't cost that much)

Crawford replaces Kepler.

Adolis Garcia replaces Castellanos.

And Otto Kemp?

Too many question marks in that group.

Is the OF Dombrowski's blind spot?

Sure, if the Mets and Braves lose half their lineups to injuries. Plus, even if they luck out and win the division, we all know they'll get clipped in the first round anyways.

Very disappointing. They should have blown this group up after 2024. Oh well.

They lost Ranger, added a bullpen arm, and an outfielder with a lower slugging % and OPS than Castellanos. Everyone else will be a year older. The lineup is going to be so, so bad next year.

I wonder where Eugenio Suarez ends up. They were supposedly interested in him last July I think. Id much rather have him in the clean up spot than another year of Bohm or Realmuto 🤮.

We need to drop Schwarber down to #3 in the lineup. And then Harper hits in the cleanup spot.

It should be:

1 Turner

2 Bader (or whoever the hot bat is . . .Stott?)

3 Schwarber

4 Harper

The problem is the lack of great hitting/power in the OF.

On Bader, I saw him hit leadoff with Turner out. Gave the team a spark. Then Turner comes back and we drop Bader to the 8 spot.

Without Bader, the OF bats are totally insufficient. We need more bats out there.

On Bohm and Realmuto, not bad hitters. They are what they are. 5 to 7 hole hitters.

Probably not time to blow them up with all the dollars and years committed to this aging roster. Maybe we should have. 

I like to go look at all the contracts and see where they fall off. We are stuck with this for 3-4 years.

Need to trade for another young starting pitcher to go with Sanchez and Luzardo.

Always be buying talent at every opportunity: free agency, off season trades, every trade deadline. 

We need to keep/extend our trade acquisitions: Luzardo, Jhoan Duran, Bader

We need to find a way to compete like a bit of what the Dodgers are doing.

We threw big money at the core of this team to win now. 

Just need to spend a bit more money and prospects right now.

Same problem we’ve had for years. Hoping stott can bat 1st or 2nd (which he’s just not nearly good enough) and hoping JT or bohm can bat 5th (both repeatedly proven they’re just not good enough there)
