For all Coked-up CPA's. Asdrubal Cabrera: $9.25 million Bartolo Colon: $7.25 million Alejandro De Aza: $5.75 million Total: $22.25 million If you want to throw in: Jerry Blevins: $4 million (I actually like this deal) Total comes to $26.25 million. This is a ton of money to spend on marginal talent.

Especially given that no money has been spent on adding premium talent.

I just got back from my dealer (sniff sniff). . . Rubin's original $92.2 million - $12.5 million (Cuddyer) - $9 million (Niece) + $10.7 million (Walker) + $8.25 million (Cabrera) + $4 million (Blevins) + $7.25 million (Colon) + $5.75 million (De Aza) =$106.65 million I am still holding out hope for a 20% marginal increase from last season's approximate Opening Day payroll of $100 million (I will not surrender my stance of that being totally reasonable considering it is the median of last season's average payroll for all of MLB and that this is a defending National League Champion playing out of New York). $120 million - $106.65 million still leaves room for Ryan Raburn and another veteran relief pitcher (be it Clippard, Albers, or Bastardo).

I know a lot of people are happy with all these puzzle pieces here and puzzle pieces there... at the end of the day, the Mets ain't built to sweep what the Cubs have done this off-season in a regualar-season series let alone a championship series. And they're probably (most likely) not done.

You can cherry pick all want and sip your orange beer out of your royal blue mug but when the Cubs are in the World Series and we're here working on 2017 moves I'm going to have to throw it your face.

I should go back and find all the teeth-gnashing over John Mayberry. "World series here we come!"

That's some salty pretzel logic there.

Tying it to luckily getting back to the world series is borderline nuts.

Catching Cespedes' lightning in a bottle was lucky?
