The Mets have acquired RHP Joey Gerber in a trade with the Rays for cash, per @AnthonyDiComo
Gerber, 28, holds a 3.60 ERA in 19 MLB appearances, but has pitched just twice in the big leagues since 2020
In the end , Juan Soto will have put together a great season. And not a “great season for the Mets.” A great season period.
To pretend he didn’t struggle the first two months is dumb. Not by his standards, but any standard for a great player with that contract.
The Mets are considering other options at first base, and one fallback alternative could be moving Mark Vientos to 1B and giving Brett Baty/Ronny Mauricio/kids a shot at 3B, per @JonHeyman.
I could not have been more wrong about Lindor.
I will happily own it. Not only is he a great player but he's also one of the highest character athletes around.
Respect.
