Good news!
Re: Wink wink
Totally not expecting that.
They were seeming a little short on lefthanded power, and now they are not.

Re: Wink wink
I like this pick up. He seemed to bring a fire to the team. Gives a lefty bat for bench/DH spot.
When did the choices get so hard
With so much more at stake
Life gets mighty precious
When there's less of it to waste

Happy to see this, some players just seem made for the Mets

Hair Force One touching down at LaGuardia!
Re: Wink wink
And if HAIR FORCE ONE is the winner, we won't have a guy who is no longer a Met gracing the cover when it's installed at The Louvre.

Re: Wink wink
A Winker/Marte DH platoon makes a lot of sense. And they could put either in left with Nimmo on center on occasion as well.

Not surprised given his October, and not disappointed for the same reason.

Re: Wink wink
Gives them a good L/R DH combo in Winker and Marte. Precludes signing a full-time DH at this point, I guess.
The answer to the question "Can people really be that stupid?" is always "Yes."

Winkle back, Welk.
I mean welcome back, Wink.

Re: Wink wink
I like the move for the price. I think he has some good upside.
Important to note though, that this move comes with a significant amount of risk.
He was great for us in October, but was pretty crappy for the Mets in the regular season (.683 OPS). His good first half of 2024 with Washington is the only time he's been good since 2021. He was terrible in 2023 for the Brewers (.567 OPS), and terrible in 2022 for Seattle (.688 OPS).
Also battled a bad back last fall.

I like the guy, I like the signing.
