I didn't catch the press conference today. It seemed to be rather quick. Reading the articles afterwards it seems BVW was pretty bold in stating "more to come". I hope he's right.
Jeff Wilpon on reinvesting insurance money: "You dont get it all back at once, but over time we plan to get that back and some of that will go back to payroll, certainly."
How about putting it all back into the team instead of your pockets? Really wish this clown would stop talking. How about just stating you will spend what it takes to win?
Would it kill them to have a payroll in the 3-8 range one year? I'm not even asking to spend like the Yankees/ Dodgers/ Sox ( though they should). I'm just sick of it always being about money with this team...
Great fit, but just not sure that the BVW will want to commit to 5 years of him at around $80 million, which seems to be what he is looking for.
I'm wondering if they would do a shorter deal on Adam Jones or McCutchen, in fact I think those might be preferable because of the lack of long-term money.
Down the line, I think they might try to convert Rosario to CF if Gimenez is ready to take over as the everyday SS.
Does anyone think that Cano's acquisition will be a motivator for Cespedes to get back as quickly as possible? I think if the team is winning and really in the race in August, Cespedes is going to want to be a part of that.
Other than that, I think they really should go hard after Andrew Miller.
Does anyone really have confidence that Lagares can stay healthy for more than a month, especially if he's a regular? Without signing another OF, the team would be a Conforto/Nimmo injury (remember, neither of those two are exactly durable either) from putting out one of the worst OFs in baseball.
It's a weird situation with Cespedes still on payroll, but if contending in 2019 is the goal, then they need to bring a good player in for our OF.
Not expecting a return to greatness but Russell Martin was 4th in fWAR among catchers 2015-2017 and 2016+2017 among catchers 900 or more PA's he was 7th https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=c&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2017&month=0&season1=2015&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0 #Mets
I can't fault the team how bumbling they appear at times but it sure seems like they are carefully curating/limiting these pressers vs. years past. #Mets
I think this new GM wants the headlines way more than past regimes. I think whatever move he makes will be a splashy one; hes not as willing to concede the back page to the Yankees
@NewsdaySports
The #Mets are talking with the #Marlins about a potential trade for catcher J.T. Realmuto, a source said, but the Mets would have to center a package around at least one young major-league player https://nwsdy.li/2AQl6JF via @timbhealey

Was told that a JT Realmuto trade offer would NOT include MIchael Conforto--his value inside organization is defined as a core piece for this team--That's a unanimous consensus
JimBowdenGM
#Mets have been in touch with the agent for A.J. Pollock and GM Brodie Van Wagenen said he was a good fit for their team and they will continue their pursuit.
to AJ Pollocks rep. But I cant muster any of it. Can someone tell me why I should be more excited? Stats arent anything great. Hes five years older than Nimmo and essentially is the same statistically, presumably without the smile.
Realmuto Would be terrific behind the plate but at what cost? How could we possibly give up Conforto?
Not ready at all. Saw him in Scottsboro. I actually do not get the buzz at all? Still very young, but I was a pretty good SS back in the day and he did not impress me....OK, small sample. Alonzo is ready, IMHO. His footwork has improved from Las Vegas season.
But if the Yankees sign Machado, I could see Didi in queens. That would be some middle infield.
Didi will miss most of the season and be paid big coin to sit on the DL moron. I'm sure the Mets would love to pay him 11-13 million to potentially miss the entire seasonThanks! Try again!

Gimenez is nowhere near ready. Wouldn't be shocked to see him in Sept but he has work to do. He's also very young.

Seems you're a little piss flap hurt after getting called out for your little tirade on the Bush thread. Awwwwww. Poor you.
Stick to posting links to Knicks news. THAT you're good at.
the Mets top prospect... is a SS. The Mets starting SS is 22 and one of their top talents. SS is one position they DON'T have a current need. Thanks. Play again. Don't take random shots at people and don't expect to be called out. I don't even know you guy and you really bizarrely took a shot at me. Don't think I forget that. Didn't even have the balls to respond at the time.
Both are good young 2 way outfielders who have proven they can produce here and play Cf if necessary.
Pollock is probably the guy Im hoping for. Robertson or Miller would be great too, but a lot of BP names out there I like Familia included, although Im not sure how good of a fit he is as a setup man with his tendency to get in and out of jams.

Shows how much I care about the fucking Mets.
I'm sure your can't-miss prospect is an upgrade.
Good luck this year, loser.
Can't wait for your next link about the Knicks. Should be absolutely enthralling!

I could see Familia struggling. He seems like the type that needs to get amped up. Robertson would be my #1 guy because he's done both roles.. plus pitched in NY (not that Familia hasn't).
about next year - no name calling, no disrespect, nothing ugly - and you attacked me because your snatch is hurt after one of my posts on a Knicks thread. You can't handle it, so you call me a name and hunt me down on TWO threads.

You're pathetic. Have a great evening, Metro Man.
Fuckface.. YOU took a shot at me. Short memory... must be the pea brain. Makes sense. Take a shot at someone and expect no response... hmm
don't even respond to this moron. He's the absolute biggest POS on BBI and that's quite an accomplishment.
I'm sure this dick will accuse me of stalking him but he keeps showing up on Met and Ranger threads which are about all I read on BBI.
Rob,
I argue with people over views but I keep civil. He took a really out of nowhere shot at me so of course I "take offense" but yeah I'll ignore him going forward. Thanks. Just strange when someone you don't even speak to takes a shot at you. It's not like me and ZGiants (FEUD!!! jk buddy)

If your nips are really that sore that you can't deal with a little ribbing on the internet, then honestly - my apologies Dan.
I've been here for over two decades and if someone can't take a little shit at this point, I really have no recourse but to keep dogging you. Plenty of people give me shit and I'll take it, gladly. It's all in good fun and we're all Giants fans in the end.
But seriously, if you're really hurt by what I posted about the Knicks I'm really sorry, pal. You're a great poster here for sure and I appreciate your insights - especially about the NBA.
really don't have such thin skin, I argue with people all the time and don't give it a second thought but for someone to just jump in and take a shot at you (I legit noted a player, I believe Sabonis) had a big game and you took a shot at me as if I were discuss Major League Soccer. The Knicks threads often discuss other teams. Only so much you can talk about with the actual roster. I'm sure there are others who secretly "hate" me (Dave in DC) full on despised me. But for there to be zero interaction and then shots fired, yeah I took "offense". Really not looking to have a BBI "enemy". I come here to read the news, shoot the shit and read what people think about topics not fight with people.
I apologize for being a jerk - but that's me, to a point. I don't mean anything personal about it. But certain things will spark me, no doubt. Again, you're a great poster here and I legit read your stuff because you know what's going on and you offer level-headed and concise info, especially about our young Knickerbockers.

Does anyone think that Cano's acquisition will be a motivator for Cespedes to get back as quickly as possible? I think if the team is winning and really in the race in August, Cespedes is going to want to be a part of that.
Other than that, I think they really should go hard after Andrew Miller.
This 1000%
Miller
Upgrade Catcher
Does that make them the favorite in the NL East?

This obviously.
Sounds like they want Conforto + Gimenez.
I think they'll take a meeting, just so they can claim to the fan base they were "in" on him. LOL...
.320 / .373 / .520 and a 137 wRC+
Would love that but I doubt it. We can hope for Realmuto + Pollack which will still be really good

Youre an asset to the site and a great Twitter follow. Full stop. You know how to have interesting sports conversations.
I also love the B in Albuquerque.

Cheers!
