@blondederin When did this become a central tenant of American sports? The most popular sport in the world doesn’t have a salary cap and the soccer industry seems to be doing just fine. Stop protecting shitty owners who don’t spend

A reminder that the idea of “parity” and “fairness” in baseball isn’t about equal outcomes. It isn’t about making sure there is a different champion every year. It isn’t about participation trophies. It’s about equal opportunity. It’s about leveling the playing field so each ball club has the chance to win based on skill, tactic, and how the organization is run—not because they have the most money.

@LanceBroz Sucks losing those guys. Still think Jett is gonna be a stud and Sproat is in good hands with Brewers PD. BUT FASTBALL FREDDY GO BRRRR

A couple half-baked Freddy Peralta trade thoughts... -Did the strength of the '26 free agent SP class influence Mets' comfort giving up Sproat? -Tobias Myers is a sneaky important piece of this trade -Sproat is a horse. If you don't like him, I don't like you

@RosterEconomics His PAP was smeared by the White Sox?

Luis Robert Jr. is what PAP was created for. Robert Jr posted a 2.50 PAP score in 2025 with the White Sox, one of the league’s lowest payrolls. Moving his contract to the Mets raises his projected 2026 PAP to 4.24 and any production bounce makes this an efficient deal for NYM.

@JeffPassan Nice of the Mets to let this one go through

BREAKING: OF/1B Cody Bellinger and the New York Yankees are in agreement on a free agent contract, sources tell ESPN.

@JustBB_Media @FinkelsteinRyan Great article. Duran has been a great fit all offseason. Excited to see how Stearns plays this

While Brett Baty's name is suddenly on the trade block, there are only a few players who the New York Mets should consider moving him for. Our @FinkelsteinRyan has more on what the future holds for Baty: justbaseball.com/mlb/whats-next…

@Budgetdog_ Looks like a lot of ppl don’t know a Roth 401k also exists

A lot of people think “maxing the 401k” means getting the full match, not actually “maxing the 401k” and that’s concerning.

@Willpa11 Can’t have a scenario when the guy gets hurt and rookie is forced to play. Almost guaranteed to happen with Tyrod

People are big mad🤣🤣🤣

@JonHeyman You’re talking about a 12 year old. Have some dignity man

I’m really unclear what the value of a verbal agreement is if it can be canceled for almost any or no reason. I like Danny Rowland, too, but is that a reason to cancel an agreement? Maybe, just maybe, he canceled cause he hoped he could get more $?

@PSLToFlushing It does feel like the current regime is trying really hard to win every single deal instead of just putting the best team out there on a yearly basis

@WexlerRules @Mets Pretty frustrating. As of now, hard to pick something that the Mets do well in 2026. Mediocre offense/bullpen/and starters

Wow. I'm genuinely shocked @mets didn't outbid LAD here. I think fans have a right to be disappointed #Mets

@Jolly_Olive This is sick Jolly!

friends

@WexlerRules I find the post-Edwin plans a lot less palatable then the post-Pete plans if it’s an either or situation

In a theoretical world where the Mets added 2 "top" SP and lost Diaz (as Bowden's think-piece posits) one option might be moving Holmes to the 8th. I still like Holmes as a SP (especially year 2) but Holmes/Williams on paper would be very good #Mets

@WexlerRules 100%

This is no knock on Pete Alonso at all but you'd think a cold Alonso market (coming off an excellent season) would suggest the Mets hesitance to go long years is a common league wide view, right?

@WexlerRules It’s always the guys with zero range that ppl don’t understand why they are bad defenders. Also I can kind of see if Semien is a hedge to re-signing Alonso to cover some of his deficiencies. I don’t think Stearns is as extreme as ppl make him out to be

Not specific to Alonso but the problem with the “eye test” when it comes to defense is outside of errors it’s extremely difficult to differentiate between balls would be caught/play made on by an “average” or “good” defensive player

@WexlerRules @Mets Boston Baro bounce back and Trey Snyder breakout

Who is a @mets prospect not currently in their top 10 that you believe will have a big 2026? Mine would be Eli Serrano #Mets

@ramit I started in Big4 accounting and those partners in NYC are routinely over $1m a year but work 60+ hour weeks constantly

@ramit I work in accounting, not as sexy as tech or whatever but 8 years in I’m just over 200k total comp (incl. bonus) my boss is in his 50s is CAO and his total comp is in the 750k-825k range at a small-ish private insurance company. Lack of CPAs helps us

Below, this person says, "you'll never make over $750K being an employee." I used to believe this. It's understandable, since growing up, I didn't know anyone like this But every time someone posts a comment like this, tons of people respond pointing out the many W2 jobs that pay this much. Yet people still refuse to believe it Yes, it's hard to earn this much and yes, it's extremely rare. But these jobs exist. In fact, you could earn half of this and still be a top earner! Instead of saying "you'll never make over $750K being an employee," I wish people would say, "Hey, I don't know of any jobs that pay this much. Can someone share a few examples of jobs that pay $250K, $350K, even $750K? I want to learn what it takes to land these jobs." Go from D to C: Disparagement to Curiosity If your goal is to earn money, there are so many jobs that pay you a LOT of money, and nobody is keeping them secret. But you have to be aggressively curious to learn about them

@PSLToFlushing Sign me up Joe

Tatsuya Imai will officially be posted He immediately will be considered one of the best available starting pitchers on the free agent market

@MLBNetwork Guy who’s job it is to follow baseball can’t be bothered to know Mets have a top 5 farm system

“He's gone. He's going to the Mets.” Lauren Shehadi's bold prediction has Tarik Skubal being traded to Queens this offseason!

@LegerDouzable BPA 2026. QB 2027

Jets have to get the QB right next year. The only way this makes sense is if they get the QB right.
