Mets Update

The long term prospects of the Mets seem promising with a new rich owner, a bunch of sound pick-ups and one superstar (Lindor/needs to be signed long term) and a few thousand fans will watch them in person Opening Day.

Mets are not the Mets without a bit of drama. Likely #2 starter Carrasco is hurt and will be out for an extended period of time. Stroman will need to get back to form and be the #2. The #3 is now Taijuan Walker, who is pretty good, but hasn't played much in recent years. David Peterson will get a chance to repeat his very good back-end starter role and there are various options for #5. But, with tough competition, the staff is a bit more iffy.

The new owner seemed promising and willing to engage with fans, but has not surprising real rich guy flaws. He supported Trump in the past and just appointed Chris Christie (typo in a tweet that announced it: "Chris Christine") on the board. His son already has a role in the organization. Oh well. Still, not quite in the mood, but #LGM.
