I need pete back before anything. He is the best option at first on the market and he is a huge part of this team. My favorite player since his rookie year.
Based on the rumors it seems like he doesn’t have much of a market. Wonder if Stearns is waiting for his price to keep coming down to pull the trigger.
My concern with Roki Sasaki is the comments about Japanese Media… now there MAY have been something lost in translation that we’re missing, but It does give me pause because the New York Media can be brutal!
Sasaki will sign 4 weeks before pitchers and catchers report. Also, flying to JFK from Tokyo is only 2.3 hours of flying time different from the west coast and east coast time is 13 hours behind Japan (Daylight Savings) while west coast time is 16 hours behind Japan, so arrival time in JFK would be virtually the same as landing in LAX.
Mets talking to Vladimir for a trade/contract extension. If they get him, thats Lindor, Soto, Vlady, Vientos, Nimo. That's the only lineup that can stand up to the Dodgers
It’s typically not wise to sign pitchers to long-term deals and we already saw Burnes somewhat decline last year. Stearns’ process of short, less expensive starting pitching has worked for him in the past and it seems he’s going that route again.
@@LockedOnMets This take tends to get brought up a lot but... Outside of 2021, his peripherals are all in line and consistently always above average. He brought his cutter usage down which had led to higher contact % and focused on revamping his slider. He also was a RP in the first 4 years, so this tells me he's a pitcher that is always willing to adapt and work on his stuff. He also hasn't missed a start in over 3 years.... People keep mentioning how he's a time ticking bomb, but for a guy who has had his K's/velo decrease, he's still been one of the most effective SP in the last 5 years. Maybe he isn't a top 3 pitcher anymore, but for a top 10 pitcher, who could easily slot as an Ace in our rotation on a team where we're primed to push our chips to go all in? Time is now. And if you add possibly Sasaki or Manaea? That's a tough rotation. That being said, we have to trust David Stearns.
From here on until the season starts Pitching and batting equal signings. Starting pitching and Bull pen in equal measure, just as the Brain Trust is doing and you're explaining. This is a most connected ownership of a sport franchise in the country.
Can the NYM move Vientos to second base? If so, then he can also platoon as the DH? If that’s possible then you re-sign Pete Alonso, you bring in Aranado for what…two years? You keep a Acunã and you move him out to the outfield. Realistically, both he and Vientos would only be out of their positions for two years.
Hi Ryan, if the Dodgers get this pitcher, they'll call the Dodger pitching staff the Yakuza terrorizing MLB hitters. The Mets can still compete with them with Christen Scott, Bake Tidwell, and Brandon Sprout a major pitching signing could put them over the top.
(Xmas list: Crochet, Pete, Joc Pederson, another SP-maybe Buehler _if_ reasonable. Dream ask: Bring Jake home.) Roki could be great, but the Mets might not be great for him. It sounds like he really might do better in a smaller market. Apparently, he’s a very quiet guy who doesn’t like chatty people, and he had trouble with the pressure from the Japanese media when he was struggling. Playing here is his dream, but he’s had a lot of tragedy in his life, and wants to live for today, not knowing what’ll happen tomorrow. That’s why he’s not waiting two years. It’s not about money. His agent says he can handle a large market, but I suspect he’d prefer a smaller one. It wouldn’t surprise me if he ended up in, say, Cleveland, Detroit, or Kansas City. Milwaukee or Arizona seems like a possibilities, too. Or maybe even a team that isn’t quite there yet, but has some young talent and could take a step forward, like the Pirates. Maybe even the Rays or A’s, given their weird circumstances. Not sure he cares about endorsement opportunities and such, and if he does well, those will come anyway. Adjusting to life on the other side of the world is hard enough. Doing it as a pro athlete, under the glare of the New York media, not to mention the fans, does not sound like it would appeal to him, nor be good for him. I obviously don’t know him or anything, but I’m sympathetic to his story, and I want him to have a good experience and do well in this country. If that means playing in a smaller market, so be it.
A Spanish international player is NOT going to renegotiate for less money. This is their "big score" and isn't happening. I don't think a 1-2 million difference will decide where Sasaki goes, but if the Mets only have 1-2 million to offer, he is definitely NOT coming here. Especially with the Dodgers around.
Well since fried signed with the Yankees we need manea back and one of burns and Roki if we don’t get them then we would have to trade for a pitcher cause the rotation is senga holmes manea(if he signs) a free agent and megil and Scott most likely I don’t think that can compete with the dodgers
We all know whoever signs Sasaki will make sure he gets a $40-50M per year “endorsement” from “someone’s business” uncle Steve has quite a few business he can offer an endorsement with for Sasaki right? That would be like a $43-53M salary then.
@ idk I thought the same but padres all of sudden sound like a fire sale coming. Their TV deal is gone the owner died and they got financial issues. Idk if Sasaki gonna wanna go there at this point. If it’s Cali it’s dodgers. If anywhere else it’s Mets, yanks or Boston But last week I thought padres were top of the list too. A lot has changed
Prioritize pitching (since some Met fans are boo hooing over the starting pitching rotation currently constituted) and then focus on Pete (if he agrees to a reasonable contract).
Well. That de-escalated quickly. Thumbnail: Mets are favorites. Intro: do Mets have a chance? Reality: no way in hell. Keep your clickbait. And enjoy watching your 750 million dollar man bumble around in the outfield for 15 years
Sasaki wants a small to medium market team. The Mets will not sign him. I believe he will sign with the Padres. Did you listen to his agent's presser? He does not want to pitch in New York. That is a big market team. Yu Darvish is his mentor. And Ruben Nieba is one of the best pitching coaches in all of baseball.
Rumors have it either Mets and Padres. Dodgers not mentioned. Just rumors but you're crazy to think the Mets don't have one of the best chances of signing Sasaki.
lmfao bruh Soto isn't going to the Mets, keep dreaming, ya'll non-Mets fans coming here are not just dumb but pathetic to boot. Need me to tell you what a woman feels like 😂😂

He is gonna hit 500 I wanna see him do it in orange and blue.
We can get a stop gap 1st baseman for this year and next year try to sign Vladimir Guerrero

@@garyjoyner1283agreed
Sign Pete - Sasaki or Bueller
My concern with Roki Sasaki is the comments about Japanese Media… now there MAY have been something lost in translation that we’re missing, but It does give me pause because the New York Media can be brutal!
Exactly. I don't think he wants the New York Media.

Sasaki will not sign with the Mets. He will sign with the Padres. He wants a small to medium market team
Nah, son.
Mets talking to Vladimir for a trade/contract extension. If they get him, thats Lindor, Soto, Vlady, Vientos, Nimo. That's the only lineup that can stand up to the Dodgers
Good God, what a lineup that would make
Add Pete cuz we getting both
If he comes to the Mets, Senga will be a great Senpai for him. Also why aren't we getting Burnes?
It’s typically not wise to sign pitchers to long-term deals and we already saw Burnes somewhat decline last year. Stearns’ process of short, less expensive starting pitching has worked for him in the past and it seems he’s going that route again.
Also the Max Fried contract has people thinking Burnes will any where from 8/9 years and almost 300,000,000 million.
He is not going to the Mets.
@@sharkvaderstudiosinsane. Worse then Soto deal

Everyone keeps saying 2025 is very close. The way I see it, I say “damn spring training is almost here”😂
Love to have Roki

King Cohen should appeal to him with over the top ad buys all over NYC.

He is not going to the Dodgers. That is big market media which he does not want. And I don't think he wants the New York media.
The Dodgers are not getting him. He wants a small market team
@LovingSports-pu4cz yeah this is still a culture shock for a lot of these players.
How about Seattle?

Rocki will sign with the Padres. Yu Darvish is his mentor, smaller market team. Crochet has been traded.
Let's add back Sean M. 4 years 100 million.
Sean M and Roki Sasaki and we good lol
Our team everyday

He is going to the Padres

Baty Vargas and parada for crochett
It's going to take Jett Williams
@@LockedOnMets crochett to the Red Sox
Well. That de-escalated quickly. Thumbnail: Mets are favorites. Intro: do Mets have a chance? Reality: no way in hell.

whoa, you saying that Roki wouldn't be a good salesman for sausage and beer in Milwaukee?
Polar Bear first,
Sign orte
They should withdraw that money for Peña.
Trade for Castillo, re-sign Manaea, sign Sasaki
Spanish international? This guy's Japanese
No I think he’s going to the dodgers

Ruben ain't no Jeremy Hefner with pitching development. Nah mean?
Massive clickbait.
The Mets not getting ROKI over the dodgers The Dodgers is the perfect place for him to play Mets fans stop dreaming
Rumors have it either Mets and Padres. Dodgers not mentioned. Just rumors but you're crazy to think the Mets don't have one of the best chances of signing Sasaki.

Nope! He wants a smaller market team. He will be a Padre.
