Outbid for Springer, never even tried to sign Realmuto, and I'm not even sure what happened with Bauer. If Mets aren't able to extend Lindor, there's really nothing they did this off-season that the Wilpons couldn't have done. The only thing Cohen has brought the Mets so far is another financial scandal.

That win is enough for me to bump this thread.

18 games in, but this finally seems like a new team and a new organization.

Word is that deGrom's reps never kept the Mets involved concerning negotiations with Texas, nor did the Mets ever make an offer.

DeGrom was full of **** about wanting to stay and the Mets were full of **** about wanting to keep him.

Team still makes no effort to keep their own players. Uncle Stevie Wilpon.

I am sure it was made clear that the Mets -- and maybe no other teams talking to him -- were going to five years. Five years is nuts, offered by a desperate team that likely will regret this contract pretty quickly. I'd rather pay Bobby Bonilla into 2036 than give Jake five years.

The Rangers won 68 games last year and now have $685 million tied up in 3 players, while they're at best the 3rd team in their own division even with deGrom. In fact, even the healthiest, best version of deGrom is probably not enough to get them to the playoffs. It's a crazy contract for any team, but completely ridiculous for them. DeGrom got his money and went where he wanted, but seems to want Octobers off from now on.

I think it's more like two years ago he knew he'd get six years at $100 million per, and after the last two injury-plagued seasons he grabbed the best deal that he knew he'd get, no matter where it was or how bad the team is.
