Austin Slater batting in this spot is everything wrong with the Mets

There’s certain moves I genuinely had no problem with, but to me what’s makes absolutely zero sense at all is the process Paying Pete Alonso for 5 years is a massive cardinal sin because there’s a chance 1 or 2 of the back years won’t be good, BUT paying Bo Bichette who’s one year removed from a .599 OPS up to 130 million over 3 years when he’s worth maybe 65% of that at best is completely fine We HAVE TO get rid of Nimmo’s deal because it might be bad in 3 or 4 years, so we trade him for a player who’s completely washed and on a terrible contract FOR THREE MORE YEARS We want to improve the roster defensively so we sign 2 poor defenders at their primary position to learn a new position AND move a good fielding 3rd baseman to try multiple new positions to accommodate guys learning new spots We watched Senga, Manaea and Peterson ABSOLUTELY IMPLODE last season and they can ALL STAY while the offensive core who’s been very consistent over their career HAS TO GO because they’ve “never won anything” David Stearns is fucking clueless
