Waiting for this place to change the description to "rare, limited edition souvenir of Carlos Correa's two fake weeks as a Met! Get them while you still can!"

Is Cohen a meddler ? I would love to know what the FO was like the last month or so

Re: Holy @#%$!
Yeah, they were as surprised as any apparently that Cohen reached agreement with Boras , then the physical, then they have to try and salvage a deal. Hardly easy.

Cohen's still learning. If the Mets want better than Baty at third, Manny Machado can opt out after 2023. Plus free agents Ohtani and Nola. That's my wish list. For now.

I'd be more pissed about this if they didn't have the position already manned. They'd have had to make other moves with Escobar and Baty, and now they don't. Correa always felt a little like overkill. That said, they still need another bullpen arm and a right-handed DH.
And yeah, that's Ohtani money Steve can spend next year.

Re: Holy @#%$!
So Coobie's favorite player was 100% wrong only hours before the news broke? He's getting to be Trump-like in his reverse barometer status: the more aggressively he asserts it, the more reliably you can rely on the opposite to be the case.

Well, if losing Steven Matz sparked Cohen to go out and sign Max, imagine what losing Correa will prompt him to do?
Re: Holy @#%$!
Hey, Baerga wasn't 100% wrong. I can breathe. He was right about that.

Overkill compounded by overcommitment. They basically told Baty and Escobar "we don't think that much of you," and almost committed 12 years to a third baseman who hit 22 HRs last year. Not bad for a SS but no Mike Schmidt.Lefty Specialist wrote: ↑Tue Jan 10, 2023 1:59 pm I'd be more pissed about this if they didn't have the position already manned.

Re: Holy @#%$!
Yeah I could never understand why they would commit 12 years to any player. That’s not even realistic
I can see a player’s desire to be paid 12 years guaranteed but I don’t want it to be the Mets paying him

Re: Holy @#%$!
Well, you have to understand that money doesn't mean anything to Steve Cohen, and all our quaint notions of "expensive" and "potentially ruinous" are obsolete.
As are we, I suppose.
