[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Well, fuck me

 

[shawnrbu]

The Red Sox were Senga’s second choice.

 

[E5 Yaz]

So much for The Truth

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Well, fuck me

Who can think of sex at a time like this?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

What we are thinking on insanity level, 6/150?

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Steve Cohen is John Henry in 2002-2004. Gonna do whatever it takes to bring a championship to Queens.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Chaim is sitting in the airport in disbelief as we speak.

Don't tease me. I'll report you.

 

[Ale Xander]

How much WAR is that worth?

Except for holding on to deGrom?

 

[Ale Xander]

Senga’s s.o.?

 

[RedOctober3829]

Except for holding on to deGrom?

He pivoted to a better pitcher on a shorter term deal. I think that is a better outcome.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Oh wow, pretty reasonable

Who’s going to be the Mets version of Jeremy Giambi?

 

[RedOctober3829]

Senga signed for less than Yoshida lol.

I would have expected a guy like Cohen to sign both

 

[jon abbey]

That is kind of shockingly low.

 

[Ale Xander]

5/75 seems better than 5/145 ( for the team )

 

[LesterFan]

Him signing for less than Yoshida makes me believe the Red Sox did in fact overpay for Yoshida.

 

[jon abbey]

They’re at I think $343M for next year and not even improved.

 

[jon abbey]

I question Martino’s reporting of 5/75, would like to see that reported by a second source.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Verlander>deGrom

So we complain when they underbid and complain when they pay to make sure they get who they want?

 

[LesterFan]

Yes that's what I said.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Yes that's what I said.

Ah, gotcha

Verlander>deGrom

Their bullpen is still thin, they lost a bunch of guys.

 

[JCizzle]

This rotation sure is going to be something. Probably not something good. But it will exist.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

But what if Feinsand's source is Martino?

All right then, surprising.

And I was low on their current payroll, lapping the rest of MLB:

[Scoops Bolling]

David Peterson's gotta be wondering whose kid he denied an autograph at this point. I wonder what the Mets would want for him.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Their rotation should be better with Scherzer/Verlander/Senga/Quintana/Carrasco

 

[Murderer's Crow]

I question Martino’s reporting of 5/75, would like to see that reported by a second source.

Yea, I can count 29 other teams that probably would have been in on this at these prices and the Mets have no special appeal here...

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Maybe his medicals were bad.

 

[jon abbey]

Their rotation should be better with Scherzer/Verlander/Senga/Quintana/Carrasco

So the Mets added:

Verlander (2/86)
Senga (5/75)
Quintana (2/26)

$71M for the three in 2023.

To replace:

deGrom (5/185)
Bassitt (unsigned)
Walker (4/72)

$55M for the two in 2023 plus Bassitt.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Player opt-out after three seasons, now it makes a bit more sense.

[chawson]

Steve Cohen has signed more than $1 billion worth of contracts since trading for Lindor not even two years ago.

Lindor: 10/$341 million
Nimmo: 8/$162
Scherzer: 3/$130
Diaz: 5/$102
Verlander: 2/$86.7
Marte: 4/$78
Senga: 5/$75
Quintana: 2/$26
Escobar: 2/$20
Robertson: 1/$10
Ottavino: 1/$4
Shreve: 1/$1.5
Jankowski: 1/$1.3

 

[mr_smith02]

So we complain when they underbid and complain when they pay to make sure they get who they want?

Underbidding for a homegrown player who played on two Red Sox World Series winning teams vs. paying to make sure they get who they want (aka = overpaying) for a player who has not played a single inning of Major League Baseball are two vastly different things.

You're probably right. This takes all the emotion out of it and makes it strictly a business deal. Some people, myself included, are good with that. Others, not so much.

 

[bsj]

LOL at the Red Sox. Playing Checkers.

 

[jon abbey]

I bet Senga did take less than was offered elsewhere, it has to be tantalizing for a righty SP trying to prove himself in MLB to get to be teammates with both Verlander and Scherzer. That and the three year optout and this makes more sense to me.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

To be fair, Queens is closer to Japan than Boston.

Just wait until the run on players from England starts.

 

[Papo The Snow Tiger]

LOL at the Red Sox. Playing Checkers.

It's more like they're playing Candyland.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

LOL at the Red Sox. Playing Checkers.

World champions at Checkers/chess/baseball four times in the past 20 years.

How has that worked out for the Padres and Mets?

Not really sure how relevant the past is in regards to the present.

Yeah. We've won. Bully for us. It has no bearing on how shitty the present is poised to be.

I mean it kind of does. Let see the mets win a WS after spending like drunken sailors before we praise him for a plan that works.

or alternatively. Go ask the NYY and their “death star”
