I certainly think the problem is ownership, and I think they hired BVW over the way more qualified Bloom because BVW was more willing to treat the Mets as a win-now team. We want a piece of glass a strikeout machine who canât field and a future reliever and mediocre prospects for the best pitcher in the world???
“According to Lee Jenkins of Sports Illustrated, Bush was not the first or second choice of the Padres organization. Do you spend your money like a smart business person building a quality organization or do you spend your money like a drunken sailor? Apparently results donât matter. If Wheeler was still in this team, with deGrom & Peterson there’s a good chance the Mets would still be playing.. the decision to let Wheeler walk was strictly a financial one & that came from Jeff.. Brodie is gone as soon as Sandy takes over.. Not quite true. The Wilpons and Mets should have been forced to sell the Mets in bankruptcy Court at the time of the Madoff scandal just like the Astros were forced to sell in bankruptcy court years ago prior to this new contending Astros club. Lawrie is the example of the Shitpon’s spreading on so so FA and not putting in a little more money to get a TOP FA. Whatever talent BVW traded, he replenished in the draft with an aggressive approach. Porcello $10M (0.3) He deserves zero credit for the draft. Plus it would make a huge splash. THIS TIME HE HAS MORE $$$$$ If youâre basing it on WAR total, thatâs not how the stat works. Bad trade, bad GM. Alderson was a disaster in San Diego. he has lost every single trade, and every single FA signing. DeGrom deserves so much better. That would’ve put them towards the bottom 10 in payroll in all of baseball. Could just be they didnât think heâd be worth it. George Washington is the quintessential champion. They were already anticipating NOT spending to keep him. and if they donât itâs because theyâre cheap and donât care about winning!… this is New York! Only once in the last decade not including this year were they in the top 10 in payrolls. Thatâs how the system works. What the return of Alderson would mean for the field staff, including rookie skipper Luis Rojas, is also unclear at this point. It’s hard to see MLB NOT approving the Cohen sale. Given the parameters, it was a reasonable move to make. The Mets spent quite a bit under the Wilpons. A reason to expect a real culture change with this franchise. Who choose the cheap way over the “right” way. They didn’t bid at all. You’re just choosing to believe in his approach. A nice move that is cancelled out in a big way by the other crippling moves that BVW made. I’m sure Brodie has made some mistakes all on his own.

Along with minor league players given up as well. Not true…Check your facts. Alderson has that respect. Notice dogmet doesn’t mention Wacka Mole or Poorfello who cost the Mets this season. Diaz’s salary fit into the Mets budget. I suppose he feels it’s necessary, but Alderson was at best a mediocrity who has zero credibility with fans. Your first point about the participation season is a good one. Cut Brodie and Rojas.
