@HagenSnellBB @Jbabs551 yeah he was traded midseason he loses compensation

[Sean Matrai @matrai_sean]

@HagenSnellBB A. Because he's a boras client why wouldn't he?

B. Because after CBA we don't know the cap say it goes 275 Cap for all teams I cant see anyone giving skubal 400 million at that point Unless the Angels under new ownership say we dont give 2 damns

[Sean Matrai @matrai_sean]

@HagenSnellBB Yeah that's the thing no QO and the fact that he might sign before the CBA is a huge attractive piece for the Mets. They did the same thing with Scherzer pre 2021 CBA because he didn't want to gets the PA and not accept the most money given. Skubal I think might take most money

@Smqr1976 @Punchoutpitch @JPerrotto I mean thats not fair on Konnor Griffin to just explode to inhuman numbers in his rookie debut to get them there and even so they are still not better than any of the teams there. They desperately need a floor. If you have a floor You could extend lowe and keep skenes

[Sean Matrai @matrai_sean]

@borqster @Punchoutpitch @JPerrotto They need a floor the Pirates not being able to pay the arbitration for Skenes is just stupid im sorry.

[Sean Matrai @matrai_sean]

@borqster @Punchoutpitch @JPerrotto The sad part is it wont they need a floor because with a cap it just gives these owners another reason not to spend. They will argue " The Leauge is more balanced now"

[Sean Matrai @matrai_sean]

@ThisIsNotKam @Punchoutpitch @JPerrotto Exactly

[Sean Matrai @matrai_sean]

@Punchoutpitch @JPerrotto I honestly feel bad for you guys in pittsburgh you deserve better than this.

[Sean Matrai @matrai_sean]

@Punchoutpitch @JPerrotto See competitive balance won't even fix this. They will make a cap and Bob Nutting will stay say Nah! No thank you

[Sean Matrai @matrai_sean]

@BillShanks Your Floor should be 150-175 Million

[Sean Matrai @matrai_sean]

@BillShanks Aside from that if you cap it at 275 and floor at 125 you don't change anything tbh the smaller teams still don't sign big free agents because that means donating 1/4 your payroll to some of these guys and at 275 top teams still go for top free agents.

[Sean Matrai @matrai_sean]

@BillShanks Skubal might sign before the CBA and that is where the Mets or Dodgers would take advantage. This isnt't the first time the Mets did this either they did it with Scherzer in 2021 before the CBA

[Sean Matrai @matrai_sean]

@octoberstanton "Mets fans have it easy yeah ok buddy"

[Sean Matrai @matrai_sean]

@D_BlueDynasty "skubal wont sign with L.A before december" The Mets are still a threat and the Angels too i feel

[Sean Matrai @matrai_sean]

@CorbrielCarreno @SandblasterSzn Mets are S Gary Keith and Ron best in business

[Sean Matrai @matrai_sean]

@DodgersNation Mets

[Sean Matrai @matrai_sean]

@Punchoutpitch @JimBowdenGM Make a floor force these owners to spend

[Sean Matrai @matrai_sean]

@Punchoutpitch @JimBowdenGM And this is exactly why salary caps will ruin baseball

[Sean Matrai @matrai_sean]

@Olaylarburada May he rest in peace

[Sean Matrai @matrai_sean]

@BargerMVP_SZN How are the blue jays in how are you still alive and the Mets aren’t . Let’s think 2007 epic collapse 2022 blown 10 game lead against the braves 2024 great season omg vibes lost it to la. 2025 collapse again in September 2026 worst season imaginable Mets have to be further up
