Good points as usual, i think stearns is a great , young smart gm, only problem i have with him is his pitching philosophy.We have the richest owner, just got soto , like you said it , stearns has to be aggressive before manea and others fall off the board. Im not worried about pete, because he will give the mets a chance to match!
Once again, i love your take. I went from being the happiest met fan to feeling like we're missing the boat. I still have trust in Stearns, but im getting impatient
Corbin Burnes wants a long-term contract. You don’t sign 30 year old pitchers to long-term deals. Crochet had a nice season but you want to dump the farm for a guy who had one full year? Talk about a project (and an expensive one at that). We have to stop worrying about winning off-season headlines and let Stearns build a team. You win on the margins, not just plainly with flashy contracts. Regardless of what some might say, the Dodgers won it all last year because they had a solid three piece in their lineup but the guys who were “projects” stepped up (Edman, Teoscar, Kíke Hernandez. Their starting rotation was average at best but their bullpen was comprised of guys they took a ticket on and many of them had career years. That’s what it takes to win: more often than not, you have to get production from unlikely places.
Great answer !! Very logical !! I'm not very patient, i do admit that. I see other teams in the national league getting better and I know the competition for talent is extremely fierce ! Lindor is in his prime along with nimmo, diaz, and senga. I do expect big moves from stearns very soon !!
LAD are the Model for MLB success these days. Dave Roberts is a GREAT Manager...But, METS have Mendoza, who is awesome. Remember the crucial game when Roberts used 8 pitchers vs. SD. He brought his two BEST Closers in the 3rd & 4th...LAD SHUT OUT the Padres in that particular game...LOL...!! NEW MODEL
Good night everyone You know where I stand. We should have Maneaa and Alonso signed or close to already done. I don’t want to say Stearns forgot how to be a New Yorker, but it seems that way. Let’s get a move on already In addition, Burnes should be signed as well. We are not competing with the Dodgers with 2-3 project pitchers. Final thing, bullpen. Tanner Scott is there. Let’s freakin go already. Each year we start piece mealing a roster is a year wasted. The owner has the money so let’s be assertive. Let’s Goooooooo!
Very well said !! I agree with everything. Time runs out quickly. Hopefully Stearns get moving. Lets not waste lindors prime. Soto wants to win multiple championships. Lets goo
💯 Hundred percent. You are expressing what every frustrated Mets fan is feeling right now. Soto move, great move. But now we’re watching the parade go by. Just bc we got marginally better with Soto doesn’t mean we should just watch all of these other teams steal every other good FA and get a lot better. Then on top of it, they’re just gonna let a fan favorite walk in Pete. Like 40 home runs and 100 RBIs that he averages every year is easy to find and replace. 🙄
Very well said !! I would hope that the mets have a couples aces up their Sleaves !! We need to get alot of work done , while the rest of mlb gets significantly better.
I agree Stearns massive ego is going to cost us. Cohen got Soto period. Stearns is constantly dumpster diving looking to make himself look like a genius if one of these bums he signs turns the corner and has a career resurrection it's a recipe for disaster
Dude better not think he needs to be the smartest guy in baseball on every move. Sometimes just looking at the back of a baseball card works too. Especially if you wanna win a World Series. Can’t have all projects off injuries and haven’t thrown 180-200 innings in years cuz they get tired in the playoffs as we just saw!! Can we get a fkn ace please? Spend 800 mill on a DH. Can we spend 25 mil on an ace and 25 on a clean up hitter to protect the crown jewel please? Lol. I’m just playing. They def signing more guys. It’s a long off season. Lots of options they going through when the entire world is your oyster. It’s gonna be fine. If Pete doesn’t come back you can bet Vlady, cohen and Soto already worked it out. Bet. But I need to see either Manaea or buehler and a trade for an ace either Carrillo or cease and let’s get 2 pen arms and go to war!!!
That idea that a 26 years old is going to be a DH is the Yankees fans stupidity Soto is still in progress and development What has happened is that they force him to be an every day Rf because he is amazing hitter Soto is going to be a much better RF At 26 years old any professional athlete can get better and Soto will be
They are using the remaining time of the off season in choosing the right combination of pitching. They know they need an ace pitcher. Corbon Burnes is still available, yes? They need an ace.... If they can get an ace and get alonso or same class or better on 1st base I'm confident they should be favored for the division. Still 2 months left.. You don't know what is going on and what they give to the press.. Patience.
Hey buddy, We need so much help. This year is supposed to be the year where we go all out ! Stearns needs to get aggressive ! We dont have the option to sit back and pick who we like. Other teams have that aggression and are scooping up talent left and right. But i will take your advice and try to be a little more patient .
@@dominantmetsnation8156 3 months left. After they got soto Sterns in an interview said they are still early in the off season. Sasaki could be coming to the mets but we don't know. Spring training starts in March.
Yes, i agree. Montas and holmes becomming a starter are project moves. Senga pitched 5 innings last year. Blackburn is coming off of an injury and he isnt very talent to begin with. Peterson has only been good for 3 months and then there's Megill. Way too much mediocrity and question marks
40 years had gone by for the Mets to understand that is PITCHING who wins championships! (healthy pitching, of course), and with new baseball, you'll need like 20 pitchers, 3 innings each.
Thanks as always, i still hope and believe that Stearns will be making moves. We need players with talent and with a proven ability to be successful. The value players are nice, but we need legit frontline pitchers if we are looking to compete with a team the dodgers
@ I swear bro. Diddy was a huge Yankee fan and from NY!! Just too much coincidence. If I was MSM I would pass this as absolute fact from an unknown source. 😂😂😂😂
Agree, I know they don't want to sign pitchers to long term contracts but we're not going to win games with the hope the pitching lab will fix subpar pitchers on short term deals. We need at least 1 top pitcher especially playing in a pitchers park.
I too am beginning to doubt what Stearns is up to. I mean they just signed Soto and now questionable pitching pickups. I don’t understand. Plus now thinking of eating salary to trade Marte who is a friend is Soto? I mean what’s he doing? They have holes, yet he acts like he’s basking in Cohen’s determination. I’m starting to doubt his abilities.
Im not impressed thus far, but we have to give stearns until the end of the off season to make a final evaluation. Hopefully he has a plan up his sleeve that shocks us all
I’m hoping the idea is to increase our payroll with the right players rather than spend money just to spend it on aging players,if they want to piece the pitching together and leave CF and 2B open for an avenue for young players,they need a big bat at first like Vladi and another huge bat in left not named Nimmo and then I would be ok with a bueler or pivetta but now that we got Soto we need to go for the throat on offense or there’s no point
If all we do is get soto this off season I'd be extremely disappointed. Rotation is very suspect and I would have expected Alonso to be back. If we can't resign Alonso at least get us a #1 or top tier #2 in the rotation
I' m suprised at how slow Stearns is moving and Im not sensing the agression yet, but I still have confidence that we will be making a bunch of moves, hopefully they are impactful ones like the devin williams trade !
So tired of seeing the yanks fleece every team they trade with. Come on smart guy sterns. U shoulda been able to toss baty as a better deal to YOUR OLD TEAM!! U have signed what a dozen brewers but not this one?!? For real??
Yes, we are all waiting to see the genius of Stearns !! I still think there is some smoke around luis castillo, stearns may have been saviny baty for that deal. But who knows. We have to get going
Thank you so much !! Thats a great question !! Im going to do my best to answer lol. Teams that use bonus pool to sign international players are limited in their ability to increase a players salary. Bonus pool money is heavily regulated by the CBA ( collective bargaining agreement ) ! A team does not have much flexibility in restructuring the initial contract. A team can add an extension onto the original deal in order for the player to receive a significant salary increase. For example if sasaki signs a 3 yr 15 million dollar deal. A team like the mets can issue him an extension that would begin after year 3. Thats when sasaki can get his big money. .
Don't get me wrong my friend I love coming in when you stream live at midnight but I'm drained by then is there a way in the future you'd be able too stream about 8 pm or 9 pm or 10 pm a little early hope you not mad cause I said this but it would help thanks for reading this dominant mets
I love the feedback buddy, some days like today i work until 11 pm, so thats why i do livestreams a bit late. But on the days where i work in the mornings, i can definetly do livestreams earlier around 9pm. Wednesday through saturday this week, i can try do livestreams around 9pm. Thanks again for the valuable feedback !
@dominantmetsnation8156 you welcome not trying be a dick cause I'm not cause I work also and when you come home after work late night it drains you lol but thanks bud
@@dominantmetsnation8156 I catch the videos when I can, I know the streams are late but it's fun catching up when we have time. Keep it up AP. Great job, better forum but as fans, WE ALL MUST BE PATIENT!
I wish I had confidence in Pete. I couldn't believe the constant strikeouts on that low outside pitch, and low RISP number the whole season (except for playoffs). Distracted by upcoming free agency? Just temporary? Can we count on that?
It seemed like many of Pete's struggles were mental and some mechanical issues. I was listening to a recent pete alonso interview and he mentioned that he needed to get into a much better mental place for this year. I think securing a new contract will help pete and take off a load of pressure. Also having juan soto in the same lineup will help. I still believe in pete and I did like what i saw from pete in the playoffs. I know that he does have the ability to make those mechanical adjustments as well as get in a much better mental space !! This is why i would like Pete back at the right price of course!! Also i love having homegrown mets spending their careers with the team and breaking franchise records
Id have rather gone after the best pitching keeping , alonso not spending 765 for soto, our mets dont know what there doing its obvious..Sterns says hes not done but there not spending after soto
@@Dotcom3728 I know more about what im mumbling about than u do lol shut up, ive got my opinion an than u got your dumb opinion witch is rediculas to even say sterns hasnt done nothing since soto
Great feedback buddy !! I love the soto move, he is that rare superstar that we needed !!. The mets have enough money to do both meaning they can aquire top pitching talent as well !! Dodgers keep adding. The mets need to do so as well !!
Not complaining, just commenting on how the offseason is currently unfolding. Yes there is time left, but there is fierce competition out there as we observed in the juan soto sweepstakes which Cohen was a huge factor in. Stearns needs to be more agreessive, thats my observation.. I still have confidence in Stearns and to be fair be has never ever been in this particular situation before
Fair point !! When you see talented pieces like crochet , devin williams, and kyle tucker go off the board, it makes you wonder if the mets were in the mix. But like you said there is still time fkr stearns to cook
Depends of the price. Valdez is a free agent next season, so he is a one year rental. If the price is right !! Obviously very talented and proven pitcher. Valdez is also a bit older as well. I like the castillo move, he is locked up at a reasonable cost over the next 3 seasons
Crazy all the negative comments on Stearns...everyone needs to move on from their man crushes on Alonso...there is a reason teams around league passing on him...he is glorified Dave Kingman who thinks he is Judge
We are all waiting for stearns to improve the talent level on this team so that the mets can compete for a world series championship. Not going to do that with montas, megil, and blackburn in the rotation. All question marks ! Plus Senga will be on an innings limit
Dave Kingman is my favorite player of all time. I'm not down on Stearns yet what you say about Alonso is not true. No doubt he is not as good as Judge but let Alonso hit at Yankee Stadium and Judge at Citi.... Watch how Alonsos numbers skyrocket and Judges dip. My Hs outfield fence is deeper than yankee stadium... Citi is hard for even plus power hitters to get an hr. Two years ago Alonso hit 2 hrs against the Yankees at yank stadium. All three announcers said both those hrs were easy flyouts at Citi. Once again I know Judge is better but you underestimate just how difficult it is to hr at Citi. Citi needs a power hitter with plus plus power..... Not many around. I'm a huge Mets fan and very happy they got Soto yet I already know his power numbers going down at Citi. The only player that can replace Alonso at the moment I guess is Vlad Jr.....
Bullseye that's how I feel you're not beating the Dodgers, Braves and Phillies on a regular basis with nothing but reclamation projects in the rotation...I get it you don't want to give long term deals but you need to get someone with a resume and a proven record
This guy needs to step up Cashman is making him look bad right now!He is waiting in the weeds for a deal that may never come!He has to field a championship team!
Your exactly right !! He deserves a bit of credit last year. But honestly if pete doesnt hit that huge homerun, the mets are getting sent home in the wild card round. The team needs to improve greatly. The whole national league is improving!
Get Castillo or Valdez, Manaea and Sasaki and your rotation should be good enough. Otherwise, the mets chances are slim. Get Alonso and Joc Pederson and two pen arms.
100 percent Stearns ego and penny pinching ways is going to hurt us , soto is here so now we go cheap , need pitching and bring back Alonso wtf is Stearns waiting for , this is not Milwaukee my guy , you got soto and promised him a winning team ,well where is it dumpster diving for cheap deals , wake up
He left Fried, burns, Williams walk away, stop dumpster diving! I prefer Vlady over Alonzo, sign walker for a 1 year or trade for 3rd baseball like Arenado and next year go for Vlady., Castillo would be perfect. Get a good relief pitcher stop dumpster diving .
I agree, at the point his entire strategy should not revolve around dumlster diving. It should be about getting the most talented players. Of course, we can get a few value moves here and therr !
I would agree with that. I wouldnt classify peterson as a lock for success either until he consistantly pitches like he did last season. There are currently way too many question marks in the rotation as we speak
This is bullshit. What is sterns waiting for? If the Yankees get Pete Alonso from us they will have an even better reason to laugh at us with just signing Soto.
I doubt pete is going to the bronx, but I dont like hearing those conversations of pete going there. That noise is usually created by Boras to increase Pete's value
I agree that Devin Williams is a great take...However, ya'll need to avoid descending into Yankee "fans"-like attitudes. David Stearns is a brilliant GM working for a genius (LITERALLY..!!) Owner. The METS are NOT interested in Burnes. The METS will not sign Burnes. I doubt the METS will sign Manaea. Trust the Lab. The Lab had fantastic results. Trust David Stearns. Stanek and Maton were GREAT acquisitions last season and made a big difference. Holmes will be a GREAT Starter. Montas will be GREAT, especially once he completes the Lab....NEXT BIG METS MOVE: The METS will get Vladdy Jr. in trade...!! METS will fight it out with ATL for NL East (Phillies are a 3rd Place Team)...METS are FINE as is pitching-wise....STOP the Yankee" fan" like nonsense...PULEEZ...!
I need to speak with you when im doubting stearns because you make some great points . Thank you !! I would love a hitter like Vladdy in that lineup behind Soto and lindor. Wow
@@dominantmetsnation8156 I really believe the LAD are the latest Model for success in MLB...Can never have enough HOFers in the batting order, or on the pitching staff...And if they're not HOFers, then All-Stars help too...Imagine 1 thru 7 as 1) Lindor 2) Vientos 3) Soto 4) Vladdy Jr & 5) Pete 6) Nimmo 7) Acuna....etc. You could literally have 7 +20 HR guys there and 4 or 5 +30 HR guys...They'd all hit for better averages and the on-base %s would be off the charts...Who do you "pitch around" in such a line-up..??
@@dominantmetsnation8156 Also, both Vladdy Jr and JAYz are highly motivated to move him this off-season because Vladdy doesn't want to be there anymore and the JAYz get NADA if he plays there in 2025...I also believe that Vladdy Jr was a discussion point with Soto/Boras when Stearns/Cohen were pitching the deal to them, as was Pete...If you think about it...METS front-loaded Soto deal w/$75 mil signing bonus + 5 Year opt-out...They can scale a similar deal to Vladdy at some % of the Soto contract...But, I really believe Vladdy will be in the Opening Day line-up vs Stros
And you Channel Title is prescient...Because the METS will be the DOMINANT Nation in MLB for the next decade at least...Steve Cohen & David Stearns are both young, and geniuses in their fields + BIG $$$...All the pieces are there + Steve Cohen will redevelop all the hubcap yards around CitiField into a destination multi-billion $$$ showpiece - Casino, Hotels, restaurants, residential, retail, theaters, attractions (clubs, bowling, rides, etc.) Soto/Lindor/Vladdy led METS are the Centerpiece of that effort + LGA completely redone and a first class airport + USTA Tennis facilities + NYCFC MLS Stadium...Makes the area a fantastic year-round destination
REPORT: Mets Check In On Monster #1 Pitcher Out West As They Pursue #1 starter (New York Mets News)..... What did I tell you, what did I tell you. See that?..:))) Luis Castillo Dominican baseball pitcher from the Seattle Mariners. Yeah see, Yeah see.. We're gonna pull in a heist see,, A real big heist see... :)
We are heading to a 2025 season witn a good lineup and a bad pitching rotation. Stearn is getting low budget short term pitchers and all the good ones are going fast. Stearn highlight this off season is Soto that's it . Cheap ass hole don't want Burns for the high price. The Mets have the money to get Burns and manaea . And they talking about World Series content, get real !
There 's still time left. Still opportunities for Stearns to suprise us all. Hopefully he adapts. We are in win NOw mode !! No more projects. We have the money and the owner and the city and the fans !!! Lets go !
I hope so ! I'm really excited and I don't want us to have a heart broken season. We really need to get better pitching rotation. If we can get Burns in the top of the rotation and build from that we are going to be ok ! 😁👍
Thats not really a fair evaluation. Stearns has been extremely successful in his first 8 full seasons as an executive making the playoff 6 out of 8 times. 5 times with the lowly budget friendly brewers. Stearns needs to be adaptable to the ever changing landcape of mlb baseball and he needs to utilize his number 1 advantage over every other team which is money . Plus the correct title for Stearns is President of Baseball Operations
I will admit...ŵhile I'm happy as punch that we got Soto....I'm now tired of hearing about the Soto news since my focus is now on who who the Mets should sign next.
I feel the same exact way. If the goal is to be world champions, we need to feel many holes. We need 2 to 3 more bats,2 to 3 more frontline pitchers. And 3 more bulpen arms
Dude you need to calm down stop screaming all the time I can't watch you talk like a normal human being and stop throwing your hands around all the time
That's AP, his enthusiasm is what makes this channel and community not only informative but fun. If you don't like it, troll a Yankee community! Probably a Cub fan.

Bonus pool money is heavily regulated by the CBA ( collective bargaining agreement ) ! A team does not have much flexibility in restructuring the initial contract. A team can add an extension onto the original deal in order for the player to receive a significant salary increase. For example if sasaki signs a 3 yr 15 million dollar deal. A team like the mets can issue him an extension that would begin after year 3. Thats when sasaki can get his big money. .
Don't get me wrong my friend I love coming in when you stream live at midnight but I'm drained by then is there a way in the future you'd be able too stream about 8 pm or 9 pm or 10 pm a little early hope you not mad cause I said this but it would help thanks for reading this dominant mets
I love the feedback buddy, some days like today i work until 11 pm, so thats why i do livestreams a bit late. But on the days where i work in the mornings, i can definetly do livestreams earlier around 9pm. Wednesday through saturday this week, i can try do livestreams around 9pm. Thanks again for the valuable feedback !
@dominantmetsnation8156 you welcome not trying be a dick cause I'm not cause I work also and when you come home after work late night it drains you lol but thanks bud
@@dominantmetsnation8156 I catch the videos when I can, I know the streams are late but it's fun catching up when we have time. Keep it up AP. Great job, better forum but as fans, WE ALL MUST BE PATIENT!
I wish I had confidence in Pete. I couldn't believe the constant strikeouts on that low outside pitch, and low RISP number the whole season (except for playoffs). Distracted by upcoming free agency? Just temporary? Can we count on that?
It seemed like many of Pete's struggles were mental and some mechanical issues. I was listening to a recent pete alonso interview and he mentioned that he needed to get into a much better mental place for this year. I think securing a new contract will help pete and take off a load of pressure. Also having juan soto in the same lineup will help. I still believe in pete and I did like what i saw from pete in the playoffs. I know that he does have the ability to make those mechanical adjustments as well as get in a much better mental space !! This is why i would like Pete back at the right price of course!! Also i love having homegrown mets spending their careers with the team and breaking franchise records
Id have rather gone after the best pitching keeping , alonso not spending 765 for soto, our mets dont know what there doing its obvious..Sterns says hes not done but there not spending after soto
@@Dotcom3728 I know more about what im mumbling about than u do lol shut up, ive got my opinion an than u got your dumb opinion witch is rediculas to even say sterns hasnt done nothing since soto
Great feedback buddy !! I love the soto move, he is that rare superstar that we needed !!. The mets have enough money to do both meaning they can aquire top pitching talent as well !! Dodgers keep adding. The mets need to do so as well !!
Sterns needs to stop penny pinching this is NOT a small market team
Yes, he must adapt
PENNY PINCHING? We just gave Soto 3/4 a billion?
BURNES,ALONSO,MANAEA, IGLESIAS, WINKER,ROKI,trade for ALEXIS DIAZ-8th inning man...maybe more to come...Let's go Mets @!!!!!!
Love all those moves. Thats would elevate our team to a place where we need to be !
If we dont bring 2 SP AND 2 BP ARMS WE ARE OVER NEXT YEAR, i really dont understand this way, Stearns think he is GOD !!
Stearns has to get going. Players are coming off of the board very fast
2SPs and 2 Bps.... Agree 100%
is it april? Are we complaining about the offseason before christmas?
Not complaining, just commenting on how the offseason is currently unfolding. Yes there is time left, but there is fierce competition out there as we observed in the juan soto sweepstakes which Cohen was a huge factor in. Stearns needs to be more agreessive, thats my observation.. I still have confidence in Stearns and to be fair be has never ever been in this particular situation before
The thing is this FO doesn't leak anything so we dont know if they are aggressive or not let Sterns cook man
Fair point !! When you see talented pieces like crochet , devin williams, and kyle tucker go off the board, it makes you wonder if the mets were in the mix. But like you said there is still time fkr stearns to cook
I think Stearns should trade for either Luis Castillo or Framber Valdez. These guys are aces.
Depends of the price. Valdez is a free agent next season, so he is a one year rental. If the price is right !! Obviously very talented and proven pitcher. Valdez is also a bit older as well. I like the castillo move, he is locked up at a reasonable cost over the next 3 seasons
Crazy all the negative comments on Stearns...everyone needs to move on from their man crushes on Alonso...there is a reason teams around league passing on him...he is glorified Dave Kingman who thinks he is Judge
We are all waiting for stearns to improve the talent level on this team so that the mets can compete for a world series championship. Not going to do that with montas, megil, and blackburn in the rotation. All question marks ! Plus Senga will be on an innings limit
Dave Kingman is my favorite player of all time. I'm not down on Stearns yet what you say about Alonso is not true. No doubt he is not as good as Judge but let Alonso hit at Yankee Stadium and Judge at Citi.... Watch how Alonsos numbers skyrocket and Judges dip. My Hs outfield fence is deeper than yankee stadium... Citi is hard for even plus power hitters to get an hr. Two years ago Alonso hit 2 hrs against the Yankees at yank stadium. All three announcers said both those hrs were easy flyouts at Citi. Once again I know Judge is better but you underestimate just how difficult it is to hr at Citi. Citi needs a power hitter with plus plus power..... Not many around.
I'm a huge Mets fan and very happy they got Soto yet I already know his power numbers going down at Citi. The only player that can replace Alonso at the moment I guess is Vlad Jr.....
In Stearns we trust period
I certainly trust stearns, i just want him to be aggressive and willing to adapt
ABSOLUTELY!!
There are drones everywhere my friend
Very true
Bullseye that's how I feel you're not beating the Dodgers, Braves and Phillies on a regular basis with nothing but reclamation projects in the rotation...I get it you don't want to give long term deals but you need to get someone with a resume and a proven record
Exaxtly !! Soto is not nearly enough !! The mets have to have a plan or something up their sleaves !!
They need to sign both Alonso and Manaea but fast.
Yes, your right on the money
Guys, it's still super early. Let's not panic, trust in Stearns. He's given no reason to not trust him yet.
Thats fair, i think we are all waiting for Stearns to make his signature move. There is time, but there is also fierce competition
I dont know whats going on. Rhe Mets need starting pitching. Putching. Please Steve Cowen we need starting pitching.vwhat the heck is going on
This guy needs to step up Cashman is making him look bad right now!He is waiting in the weeds for a deal that may never come!He has to field a championship team!
I agree ! I feel that the years that Cashman acted like this were the years where the yankees did the worst
Stearns will find out real quick that this isn't the brewers organization and fans
Your exactly right !! He deserves a bit of credit last year. But honestly if pete doesnt hit that huge homerun, the mets are getting sent home in the wild card round. The team needs to improve greatly. The whole national league is improving!
I doubt the Brewers were in on Soto?
Get Castillo or Valdez, Manaea and Sasaki and your rotation should be good enough. Otherwise, the mets chances are slim. Get Alonso and Joc Pederson and two pen arms.
Agree !
Yeah, that pitching was the reason we lost to the dodgers
Absolutelty, the dodgers scored around 8 runs a game in the nlcs. Hard to beat a team who is scoring like that
100 percent Stearns ego and penny pinching ways is going to hurt us , soto is here so now we go cheap , need pitching and bring back Alonso wtf is Stearns waiting for , this is not Milwaukee my guy , you got soto and promised him a winning team ,well where is it dumpster diving for cheap deals , wake up
He left Fried, burns, Williams walk away, stop dumpster diving! I prefer Vlady over Alonzo, sign walker for a 1 year or trade for 3rd baseball like Arenado and next year go for Vlady., Castillo would be perfect. Get a good relief pitcher stop dumpster diving .
I agree, at the point his entire strategy should not revolve around dumlster diving. It should be about getting the most talented players. Of course, we can get a few value moves here and therr !
Nothing wrong with Peterson, he was great last year, project,I think not
I would agree with that. I wouldnt classify peterson as a lock for success either until he consistantly pitches like he did last season. There are currently way too many question marks in the rotation as we speak
This is bullshit. What is sterns waiting for? If the Yankees get Pete Alonso from us they will have an even better reason to laugh at us with just signing Soto.
I doubt pete is going to the bronx, but I dont like hearing those conversations of pete going there. That noise is usually created by Boras to increase Pete's value
Would we have traded Pete for Soto straight up? Heck YEAH!
Vladdy
Love it !! Depends on price and our willingness to give him a long term mega contract
Please NOOOOOO!
I agree that Devin Williams is a great take...However, ya'll need to avoid descending into Yankee "fans"-like attitudes. David Stearns is a brilliant GM working for a genius (LITERALLY..!!) Owner. The METS are NOT interested in Burnes. The METS will not sign Burnes. I doubt the METS will sign Manaea. Trust the Lab. The Lab had fantastic results. Trust David Stearns. Stanek and Maton were GREAT acquisitions last season and made a big difference. Holmes will be a GREAT Starter. Montas will be GREAT, especially once he completes the Lab....NEXT BIG METS MOVE: The METS will get Vladdy Jr. in trade...!! METS will fight it out with ATL for NL East (Phillies are a 3rd Place Team)...METS are FINE as is pitching-wise....STOP the Yankee" fan" like nonsense...PULEEZ...!
I need to speak with you when im doubting stearns because you make some great points . Thank you !! I would love a hitter like Vladdy in that lineup behind Soto and lindor. Wow
@@dominantmetsnation8156 I'll send you an email w/my contact info....How do i get in touch with you...??
@@dominantmetsnation8156 I really believe the LAD are the latest Model for success in MLB...Can never have enough HOFers in the batting order, or on the pitching staff...And if they're not HOFers, then All-Stars help too...Imagine 1 thru 7 as 1) Lindor 2) Vientos 3) Soto 4) Vladdy Jr & 5) Pete 6) Nimmo 7) Acuna....etc. You could literally have 7 +20 HR guys there and 4 or 5 +30 HR guys...They'd all hit for better averages and the on-base %s would be off the charts...Who do you "pitch around" in such a line-up..??
@@dominantmetsnation8156 Also, both Vladdy Jr and JAYz are highly motivated to move him this off-season because Vladdy doesn't want to be there anymore and the JAYz get NADA if he plays there in 2025...I also believe that Vladdy Jr was a discussion point with Soto/Boras when Stearns/Cohen were pitching the deal to them, as was Pete...If you think about it...METS front-loaded Soto deal w/$75 mil signing bonus + 5 Year opt-out...They can scale a similar deal to Vladdy at some % of the Soto contract...But, I really believe Vladdy will be in the Opening Day line-up vs Stros
And you Channel Title is prescient...Because the METS will be the DOMINANT Nation in MLB for the next decade at least...Steve Cohen & David Stearns are both young, and geniuses in their fields + BIG $$$...All the pieces are there + Steve Cohen will redevelop all the hubcap yards around CitiField into a destination multi-billion $$$ showpiece - Casino, Hotels, restaurants, residential, retail, theaters, attractions (clubs, bowling, rides, etc.) Soto/Lindor/Vladdy led METS are the Centerpiece of that effort + LGA completely redone and a first class airport + USTA Tennis facilities + NYCFC MLS Stadium...Makes the area a fantastic year-round destination
REPORT: Mets Check In On Monster #1 Pitcher Out West As They Pursue #1 starter (New York Mets News)..... What did I tell you, what did I tell you. See that?..:))) Luis Castillo
Dominican baseball pitcher from the Seattle Mariners. Yeah see, Yeah see.. We're gonna pull in a heist see,, A real big heist see... :)
Hopefully lol, this is the guy that i personally want for us ! This would take the offseason to the next level
We are heading to a 2025 season witn a good lineup and a bad pitching rotation. Stearn is getting low budget short term pitchers and all the good ones are going fast. Stearn highlight this off season is Soto that's it . Cheap ass hole don't want Burns for the high price. The Mets have the money to get Burns and manaea . And they talking about World Series content, get real !
There 's still time left. Still opportunities for Stearns to suprise us all. Hopefully he adapts. We are in win NOw mode !! No more projects. We have the money and the owner and the city and the fans !!! Lets go !
It's only December, we have plenty of time before the '25 season.
I hope so ! I'm really excited and I don't want us to have a heart broken season. We really need to get better pitching rotation. If we can get Burns in the top of the rotation and build from that we are going to be ok ! 😁👍
Yankees are a much better team
Its very difficult to make final evaluations of teams when both of their rosters are incomplete. We will see
?
He’s a another garbage gm
Thats not really a fair evaluation. Stearns has been extremely successful in his first 8 full seasons as an executive making the playoff 6 out of 8 times. 5 times with the lowly budget friendly brewers. Stearns needs to be adaptable to the ever changing landcape of mlb baseball and he needs to utilize his number 1 advantage over every other team which is money . Plus the correct title for Stearns is President of Baseball Operations
Hal Steinbrenner burner account?
I will admit...ŵhile I'm happy as punch that we got Soto....I'm now tired of hearing about the Soto news since my focus is now on who who the Mets should sign next.
I feel the same exact way. If the goal is to be world champions, we need to feel many holes. We need 2 to 3 more bats,2 to 3 more frontline pitchers. And 3 more bulpen arms
the spankees are just signing away and we havent done shit since soto
Your right buddy !! Its very frustrating ! Stearns better have an ace up his sleave
Dude you need to calm down stop screaming all the time I can't watch you talk like a normal human being and stop throwing your hands around all the time
I love these comments.
Dont watch lol.
@@johnparker4787 Thanks for the advice. I won't.
That's AP, his enthusiasm is what makes this channel and community not only informative but fun. If you don't like it, troll a Yankee community! Probably a Cub fan.
@@HobieLandrithMemorialSociety I've been a met fan for 60 years. I would never go on to a Yankees site.
