Holy @#%$!

IMPORTANT CARLOS CORREA UPDATE:

A couple hours ago, he posted a picture of him holding his kid with the caption "Going to work with daddy today" and his kid was wearing an adorable t-shirt that read "I HEART NY" but the I was a hot dog and the heart was a pretzel.

Beat that hot scoop, Jon Heyman.

[A Boy Named Seo]

And the eye black and the baseball mitt. It's all but a done deal.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I think the latest snag is that the kid may have an ear infection.

[roger_that]

For some reason, the artwork has been pixelated.

Of course it has. I was just goofing. It is a bit weird though. He lets people photograph his home but not his art?

[batmagadanleadoff]

Why not? The art's worth 10, maybe 20 times what the residence is worth. Besides, you think someone's gonna steal the whole house?

Ay-GEE! Ay-GEE! (Shea Stadium cheer).

He lets people photograph his home but not his art?

I imagine that whoever is insuring Uncle Steve's crib frowns upon pictures
of $x,xxxx,xxx artwork that adorns his walls being broadcast over the interweb.
Security staff too. Then again, he may have a classic Penthouse magazine fetish
and they can't show 70's bush and double D's on a web page???

There was an article on Yahoo sports that said the BoSox would be interested in a trade for Carrasco, but did not say which/ or if, specific names have been discussed. Could just be some sportswriter's chowda.

I think it was Sports Illustrated that speculated that it might be a younger pitcher with more years of team control.

[Edgy MD]

Well, I just ordered my 🌭🥨NY onesie.

[vtmet7]

Eye don't get it: hot dog, pretzel, NY?

[nymr83]

those are the two classic street cart foods, at least in my mind

[metsmarathon]

Eye don't get it: hot dog, pretzel, NY?

it means he's enjoying twisting our dicks all in a knot while we anxiously await any movement regarding his signing.

or it's just a cute play on I [heart] NY

i'm really not sure. but either way it needs roasted nuts.

[whippoorwill]

When I think of pretzels I think of Philly

Maybe Edgy’s telling us correa’s going to Philly

[Edgy MD]

I'm just rolling with Correa and his kid up top.

[Methead]

I always thought the eye black gene skipped a generation, but I guess I was wrong.

[nymr83]

When I think of pretzels I think of Philly

Maybe Edgy’s telling us correa’s going to Philly

Philly I think of stores that sell pretzels, New York I think of street cart pretzels

[Benjamin Grimm]

Philadelphia pretzels are shaped differently.

[Frayed Knot]

Back to the subject at hand, Ken Rosenthal apparently told a podcast connected to The Athletic that a NYM/Carlos Correa contract could look "dramatically different" than the announced original.

[whippoorwill]

Lol

Yeah. One year. $1000 and maybe an X-ray now and then

[MFS62]

Back to the subject at hand, Ken Rosenthal apparently told a podcast connected to The Athletic that a NYM/Carlos Correa contract could look "dramatically different" than the announced original.

And every article about the Correa situation I've read since then cites that one Rosenthal piece.
1) I would expect the new contract wouldn't be a straight payout given that past injury, so it would be different. It is a d'oh conclusion.
2) How about other reporters getting off their collective lazy arses and uncovering new details for info to pass along to us?

He concludes his article by saying that once the Corrrea deal is complete, the Mets will make other deals.
1) Fairly logical - they have other holes to fill.
2) if he knows something for sure, who are the players involved?

In both cases, I'm starting to get the feeling that Rosenthal is less a reporter with insight than he is Captain Obvious.


OE: Maybe I'm just frustrated there is no new off-season news.

Jim Bowden wrote an article about what all 30 clubs are telling him/ what he is hearing off the record and he says the Mets are likely to pursue a 4th outfielder

What the fuck am I even looking at.

[kcmets]

Needs mustard.

[nymr83]

Needs mustard.
