New Looking Mets

So the Mets did indeed get Cano and Diaz from Seattle!  Great move!  We gave up some prospects but Bruce is gone and Swarzak too!  Thank Christ!  Just glad we didn't lose McNeil.

The Mets also wisely gave up on Realmuto.  The price was just too high.  Mets smartly grabbed Wilson Ramos.  He'll definitely be in a platoon with another catcher as he has history of knee problems and he's in his 30s, old for a catcher, but i'm glad to see this guy on our team now.  He should be great for our young pitchers.  Glad that they didn't grab Grandal either.  He was terrible for the Dodgers last year.

Mets brought back Familia too.  I'm okay with this move.  Middle relief, setup man should be good for him.

Also hearing rumors now that the Mets have inquired about Mike Minor.  Journeyman guy.  I wouldn't mind him.  Never heard anything bad about him.  Seems like a good clubhouse guy.

As always just glad the Mets are actually doing things.

Curious what's going to happen with Frazier.  I'd rather see them give McNeil chances.  Alonso let's see what he's got.

AJ Pollock is still out there but he's super injury prone.  Intrigued but nervous.  Lagares is a great defender but a terrible hitter.  Just don't know what they're thinking here.  Adam Jones' name has been floated around but he's getting older too.  Can McNeil play the corners?  Slide Nimmo to Center?  Who knows?

Here's what i envision so far for 2019:

1. Brandon Nimmo RF
2. Jeff McNeil 3B
3. Robinson Cano 2B
4. Michael Conforto LF
5. Wilson Ramos C
6. Todd Frazier 1B
7. Juan Lagares CF
8. Pitcher
9. Ahmed Rosario SS

Still talks of Harper on the radio.  While I'd welcome him with open arms if he could produce, i highly doubt the Mets front office will open the bank for him.  They're have been articles out there that are very interesting about contract offers the Mets should try.  I'll keep reading.

So here's to the Mets continuing to give us frustrated fans some hope!

Making Moves

Looks like the Mets are closing in on acquiring Cano and Diaz from Seattle.  Couldn't get Mallex Smith too oh well.  Glad we're not giving up Jeff McNeil.

Also the Mets missed out on Yan Gomes which sucks.  And sucks more that he went to the Nationals. The Mets tendered d'Arnaud. Ugh.  Another thought is that the Mets are looking at Yasmani Grandal.  I hope not.  He looked terrible in the playoffs for the Dodgers.

Hearing rumors now that the Mets are inquiring about Corey Kluber which would be very interesting.  I'm just nervous to hear what the Indians would want for him.

Just glad the Mets are actually doing things.

Here's a lineup i'd like to see in 2019 with some additions.

1. Ahmed Rosario SS
2. Jeff McNeil 3B
3. Robinson Cano 2B
4. Michael Conforto LF
5. Todd Frazier 1B
6. Kevin Plawecki C
7. Juan Lagares CF
8. Pitcher
9. Brandon Nimmo RF

People talking about the Mets exploring Bryce Harper.  While I'd welcome him with open arms if he could produce, i highly doubt the Mets front office will open the bank for him.

So here's to the Mets continuing to give us frustrated fans some hope!
