Re: Justin Verlander (& Kate Upton)!!!
Michael Perez was the last Met to wear 35. It's been the preferred number for assignment to transients since Jacob Rhame, and it ain't like Rhame was a long-hauler: Jared Hughes, Trevor Hildenberger, Brandon Drury, Colin Holderman, Perez (h/t MBTN/UMDB for the refresher). Adam Wilk was 35 for one infamous Harvey-suspended day between Logan Verrett and Rhame. You have to back to Dillon Gee for a 35 with a modicum or more of distinction.
Between Max and Justin, Mets may be setting a trend with starters older than their uniform numbers.

Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.

Good signing. High per annum for a short term was the way to go for both parties. Pretty good signing for a "Plan B".

Re: Justin Verlander (& Kate Upton)!!!
I'm not at all convinced that throwing money at pitchers is the best way to go right now. Scherzer wasn't worth his salary last year, and Verlander has to duplicate last year twice to be worth his.
That being said, I've always been a fan and if there's any chance of him getting to 300 in a Mets uniform..

apparently, he needs to pitch 140 innings in '24 for the option to vest. that should hopefully be a low bar.

Re: Justin Verlander (& Kate Upton)!!!
I remember Max throwing 5 IP in his first spring start and *shocker* he tired down the stretch. Mets need to run a 6-man rotation or just cap his ass at 80 pitches per start til June 1.smg58 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 05, 2022 3:03 pm I'm not at all convinced that throwing money at pitchers is the best way to go right now.

Ok. New plan. When the Astros start their fire sale, trade for him then sit him.
Or let him make a start or two. As soon as he puts ours uniform back on he’s bound to get hurt.

Dammit. Was supposed to be in the vest thread. I’m such an old man.
