The Mets are losing 6-0. David Peterson was just booed off the mound. New York is on the brink of falling to 11 games below .500. This was the scene at Citi Field in the middle of the sixth inning.
If Stearns had done nothing except trade for Peralta & sign Weaver/Williams, the Mets by WAR would be ~3 games better & also cheaper. But it's hard to ignore players' impact on each other.
A Nimmo/Soto/Alonso/Benge/Ewing/Vientos/McNeil lineup does not embarrass itself.
@Jolly_Olive They were just so eager to get out of the last two years of Nimmo at 20M per (~5.7 percent of total payrolls they’ve been running) they just had to pay 80M total for 3 years of a 35 year old second baseman coming off a .660 OPS season. Was too good a deal to pass up!
is it still too early Mets fans ??
Stearns replaced two franchise players with two of the worst hitters in baseball
the Mets are the worst team in baseball
you just can’t make it up !!
It's Memorial day weekend. This is the Mets 4-9 in today's lineup.
This is not a small sample size. These players are getting consistent at bats
This is a 22-30 team with the highest payroll in the league at $334.6 Million
This is gross
