Pest Charlie Culberson re-signing with ATL on a minor league deal.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.
Re: We Hate the Braves and Cole Hamels 2020
I was misreading and thinking Hamels somehow signed on a minor league deal. No huh-way.
Re: We Hate the Braves and Cole Hamels 2020
We hate Charlie Culberson, too, but he didn’t have the marquee value to carry the thread title.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.

SunTrust Park is now Truist Park, which may or may not inspire a line of I’M STILL CALLING IT SUNTRUST t-shirts from Uni-Watch.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.

So SunTrust, a large bank with a major presence in that area, are out after just a THREE YEAR sponsorship of a brand new stadium?!?!?

On December 6, 2019, the merger between BB&T and SunTrust closed, forming Truist Financial Corporation.[11] The two banks continue to operate separately, while merging their operating systems.

So what's their new slogan going to be?: Same bank you've known for years ... only now with a much shittier corporate moniker!

Braves sign formerly Felix Hernandez to a minor league contract.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.
Re: We Hate the Braves and Cole Hamels 2020
He might hit another Grand Slam against the Mets.
Re: We Hate the Braves and Cole Hamels 2020
Marcell Ozuna signs 1 year deal with this miserable franchise.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.
Re: We Hate the Braves and Cole Hamels 2020
This... is unfortunate.
I'm hoping this isn't chased with an Arenado trade.

He's exhibit A of how hard it is to be an elite pitcher for a long time. Given how much relief pitchers are in short supply, he'd be worth the risk just for that option.

Ozuna is one of those guys who doesn't seem "for real" to me.
Arenado should be on the Mets

Re: We Hate the Braves and Cole Hamels 2020
I expect Ozuna to be a giant pain in the ass for us all year. Basically, taking that role over from Josh Donaldson who went elsewhere.
Re: We Hate the Braves and Cole Hamels 2020
But it will probably be Starling Marte - when he's 37 years old.
Later
I blame Susan Collins

If you want to give Fred Wilpon a heart attack, his salary would be the way to do it.

Arenado trade rumors are flying around twitter.
Hard to imagine there is any truth to them. If the Mets could afford Arenado, they would have been in on Rendon, who would have cost just money.

I guess so, but the Mets are funny.
McNeil, Smith and Matz. Let's do it

That Arenado honeymoon in Denver sure didn't last long.
He's claiming the team made promises to spend elsewhere after they spent on him.
But now the team seems to be gun-shy about throwing big buxx around after their strong pitching of 2018 turned south on them in 2019, so maybe they're not as close as they thought a year ago.
So they've at least talked about trading N.A. just one year into a L-T contract (although he can opt-out after '21) and he's not only not happy about it but hasn't been shy about saying so publicly.

This site, which I've never heard of, says that the Mets and Rockies are talking:

COL wants a catcher and they like Nimmo (who doesn't?) who is from that part of the country. I'm fantasizing about a lineup with Marte in CF and Arenado at 3B.

Re: We Hate the Braves and Cole Hamels 2020
Starling Marte is Brandon Nimmo, just older and worse. I don't want him anywhere near this team.
Arenado, on the other hand...

Maybe they'd take Cano in return.

Yonder Alonso has signed minor league deal with Braves.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.
