Abreu goes dong in his first at bat after 10 days off.
It would depress me to see Bregman in Mets uniform
Framber still pumping in 95/96 MPH sinkers, does the team think he'll get by on a slightly lower GB% in exchange for the increased K%? Gotta lower the hard hit rate from last year.

Same but this is probably a better case scenario.

At least if he's there, we don't have to worry about running into him in the playoffs
And we can buy him back the next July when the Mets are 32-80.EastCoastAgNc said:Farmer1906 said:agdaddy04 said:

I can see it now…
"Mets have traded Alex Bregman back to the Astros after signing him to a 8 year 240M deal in the offseason. The Mets will pay half of his salary for the duration of the contract while he plays back in Houston"
Its all fun and games to laugh at them for the disaster year, but they could be a juggernaut in 2-3 years. Lots of good players in their farm system and ability to spend big on places where they need it.
Mauricio Dubón is on one. He is 13-for-26 with a 1.344 OPS this spring. Just launched a 398-foot bomb on the first pitch Ryan Helsey threw.

I think Javier is going to bounce back more than Framber this year

I think Framber is going to be fine.

A lot less room to bounce when you finish 9th in the Cy.
Maybe not the most efficient day, but whatever.

I still think Javier has a better season than Framber in 2024. Just my prediction
Some thoughts from Framber Valdez:
— Brian McTaggart (@brianmctaggart) March 17, 2024
-- He said all his pitches were working: changeup, curve, cutter and sinker. He thought he pitched "very well" despite runs.
-- Hopes to be at 100 pitches before end of spring.
-- "Feel good mentally, feel good physically."
-- On Yainer Diaz:…

Maybe why the Mets owner was meeting Crane the other day. Setting everything up for a sign and trade

Let's not act like it was only one year they had a lot of talent and shat the bed come October. They have a penchant for doing it over and over again.
Blake Snell is worth $33M/yr or more if he can throw a season's worth of starts. He's only done so twice in six full seasons of play.
— Call me Nash (@astroandtoffee) March 17, 2024
Counter: $25M guaranteed. $7M bonus at 25 starts, another $5M bonus at 30 starts. Deal is for 2 years with a player opt-out on a third.

This makes some sense, what's he's not factoring in is the value of the draft pick lost and the drop in first pick. That's probably a good 5-10 M in value there. If he's worth 33 M then and he's leaving after year 1, the value should be in the low to mid 20s. If you think he's worth 40 M for 1 year of prime then 33 M makes some sense.
If you can get 2 years then you can spread out the loss. Instead of 2/33, you do 2/58.

“The San Francisco Giants are now looming as the favorites for Snell, who have been engaged, but were also waiting for the price-tag to drop.” https://t.co/QyMNqOpQwV
I don't think it's any secret Snell prefers California, despite the massive income tax differences. Teams there have a leg up on the Astros unless the Astros offer more money (which they shouldn't).
