Mets Update

After a disappointing season, especially since the weak division should have gave the Mets an opening to at least be in the hunt until late, we yet again have excitement. No not new ownership. We had that already.

There is reason to be excited though also a sense of deja vu. First, we have a big name, one would think independent, manager. Then, we have a stud (Max Scherzer), who helped his cause by standing out during the labor dispute. Plus, already, various useful parts were added including Marte. Figure a few more minor moves to come.

The new West Coast GM already has brought talent from over there and we have another with former As Chris Bassitt. He looks like a prime #3 candidate with Stroman gone and various slots injury iffy. With multiple relievers gone (including Famalia and Loup), they also picked up once Yankee, Adam Ottavino. Let's see if anyone else will leave.
