So far, I'm the only one who is optimistic that the Mets will sign him.

It certainly feels kind of like the Mets' turn to make a distinctive offseason move.

The Giants worry me a lot but they seem like the kind of team that would have Blake Snell instead. So I'm voting for Cohen's phat ca$h

It does. And I don't think Steve Cohen will be outbid. My concern is that the Yankees overseas cachet will tilt the balance towards them. I find myself hoping that Yamamoto really wants to be teammates with Kodai Senga!

I actually think we end up with Snell after Yamamoto goes to the MFY

Maybe, but I think Jordan Montgomery is more likely than Snell. But we'll see.



There's also Shota Imanaga. Imagine if the Mets signed both Yamamoto and Imanaga to join Senga in their rotation?

I think he becomes a Met. Cohen's not going to be outbid.

Perhaps they can fire Mendoza for having Yankee stench and offer to replace him with a Japanese-speaking manager. I know just the guy!

Dunno, just have the feeling he's going to wind up with the Yankees. Hope I'm wrong, and Unkle Steve's money speaks louder than 'tradition'.

You know, this pursuit of Yamamoto by several teams is kind of like a tournament. It's the tournament to sign Yamamoto.

I think if I were Yamamoto, it would've been pretty impactful if Mookie and Freddie and Shohei showed up to my pitch meeting.

Re: Vote on Yamamoto

I have a feeling it is Yamamoto or bust for the Mets this off-season. I'm afraid that the Dodgers or Yankees land Yamamoto and the Mets will end up landing a few mid-level free agent pitchers or reclamation projects (Giolito, Kluber, Keuchel, Paxton, etc) as they save their money for up for a big push in 2025 when (they hope) all the youngsters will be ready to shine.



I'm afraid the big acquisition this off season will end up being the return of Edwin Diaz. I, which can be huge, assuming their are enough leads for him to save and turn into team victories.



I sincerely hope I am wrong.
