Once a Met, Not a Met in 2023

The Angels have purchased the contract of Daniel Murphy from the Ducks.

Whoah! From a Mets old-timer's game to the Anaheim Angels!

I hope he tells Ohtani how great it is to be a Met.

My only interest in Ohtani is in seeing him sportingly but thoroughly defeated by the Mets on the field of baseball.

[MFS62]

I saw that the deal Murphy signed with the Angels was a minor league deal.

I hope [Murphy] tells Ohtani how great it is to be a Met.

Ohtani: "If it was so great over there white boy how come you left at the first opportunity?"

Steve Cohen wouldn't have let Murphy go away.

Wilson Ramos quacks like a Duck on Long Island.

The NL West is getting Metsier. On the same day the Rockies convince Chris Flexen to pitch up in the air, the Dodgers sign Jake Marisnick. Marisnick will have another opportunity to hear fans at Citi Field this weekend, something he couldn’t do amid the cardboard cutout motif of 2020.

Marisnick. Now there was a disappointing Met

[nice story] There is a really wonderful college kid who house sits for us and is a bat boy for the AAA Isotopes. Yesterday, he sent a couple pics to me of him and Met Daniel Murphy, a personally autographed baseball card (in Mets uni) from Murph, and he added that he generously tipped him $50. [/nice story]

[Edgy MD]

[exclamation]That's a nice story![/exclamation]

You should let your house to Isotopes when you're away.

Amed Rosario, once a Guardian, no longer a Guardian in 2023.

Guardians reportedly getting Old Friend Noah Syndergaaed from Dodgers for Old Friend Amed Rosario.

2019-2020 Met Justin Wilson was all set to finally become a 2023 Brewer. But after the long road returning from ACL surgery, Craig Counsell signaled for him to come in from the bullpen and he was seen holding his arm after injuring it on his last warmup pitch.

2019 Met Aaron Altherr has been with the Tri-City Valley Cats of the Frontier League this year. He's hitting .278 with 9 home runs in 54 games so far.

2017 Mets Nori Aoki is, at 43, astonishingly still active in Japan, hitting .272 with a .383 OBP in 180 ABs for the Yakult Swallows.

Javier Baez, who was brought on board to help lead the club to the playoffs in 2021, but who instead caused headaches, is back with Detroit this year, hitting .225 in 391 ABs. He cost us first round pick Peter Crow-Armstrong, who is cranking at Double-A right now. Baez really wasn't bad with New York, statistically, as he hit .361 over his final 97 ABs with the team.

Anthony Banda, who was one of a million no-names the Mets used on their pitching staff in 2021, is currently in the Nationals minor league system. He's made 10 appearances for them at the big league level this year, posting a 6.43 ERA in 7 innings. His mark is 7.91 at Triple-A.

Jacob Barnes, who was also a member of that 2021 Mets team, has pitched in the Rangers, Phillies and, most recently, Cardinals systems this year. The Cards just signed him a couple weeks ago. While ERAs are elevated across Triple-A this year, his is a tidy 3.10 in 40 2/3 innings so far.

Astros DFA'ed Blake Taylor, the lefty we got in the Ike Davis trade way back when.

BRING HIM HOME, BILLY

[Cowtipper]

We also traded Taylor to the Astros, with another solid prospect named Kenedy Corona, for Jake Marisnick. That deal has the potential to blow up in our faces big time.
