Nimmo will probably move to right. Marte in center, Canha in left. Escobar will play 3rd or 2nd. How come I cringe at the idea of Sox taking on Cano’s deal and dumping Keuchel. Also, McNeil does play outfield sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly there's a lot of interest in him. Plus I haven't checked to see if any Boras guys signed yet. C. Seager and Semien are the one rumored to want to sign before Dec. 1.

You’d imagine the process of accepting a pillow deal first requires him and Boras exhausting their hope for a pay day with his last year being sold as an aberration. Reality will take time if this plays out. Edited November 27, 2021 by hi8is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given the Mets' injuries last year, they may try to stack up on depth this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I talked up Gallo but when someone asked me if I'd take Marte I said I'd be more than happy with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 So the Mets signed all the hitters. Hopefully they won't sign all the pitchers too. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 The Mets just got 7 WAR for next year in one day. But it cost them $40+ million in salaries alone. Nevermind having to pay Marte when he's going to be 37 when his deal expires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Deadlines are cool. Good things happen when teams have a date they need to do stuff by. Now I'm not sure we do anything by then but I bet this is only the tip of the iceberg for the rest of the league. Should be a fun next few days.

Since its in line with predictions I’m not tripping anymore. Good call re: Conforto. I think some predictions of a pillow deal may end up being what occurs. I knew both fangraphs and MLBTR had him taking a 1 yr pillow deal . I tried to take that into consideration because it just may be the best plan for him to get a higher contract if he can regain his mojo. However if he prefers the security of at close to $50M he may bite unless interest that Boras says exists is true. Teams could be trying to get him cheap for all we know . So I kind of settled in a place that could be tempting for him. Edited November 27, 2021 by CaliSoxFanViaSWside 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Escobar at that deal to the mets hurts. The Sox could have guaranteed that third year and I’d have felt good about it. Solidified the position and left a bit to go after Rf and Sp still. Someone else said it, but the Sox must just not like him or the other way around. It isn’t that he was the best available, but I think it may turn out that he was the best option at the price when you consider that there were a couple other spots that needed addressed.
