METS are better in 2025 right now w/o Pete than they were in 2024...Consequently, I'd say the METS win around 95 games with the current roster in 2025...The METS pitching staff as-is is Top 5 in MLB with the biggest pleasant surprise being the stellar year Clay Holmes will have as a METS starter in 2025
I understand the point of Cease, but he is a Boras client, and there are no negotiations with his clients, but King may be so. So depending on the ask of players for pitcher
Sorry Ryan, that doesn't work, nobody wants Canha over Marte. If the Padres don't want Gilbert, Butto, Tong, they can go kick rocks! The Mets cannot trade Acuna!
Acuna is OFF LIMITS...Acuna is the single prospect, besides the just acquired Elian Pena, who is destined to be a perennial All-Star and critical to the METS future and should never be considered in any trade, particularly for a mid-level albeit decent pitcher
Ryan the problem with paying Pete this year is pretty much they are up against the tax so it’s basically double are they really going to pay a lot this year? I don’t see it.
Butto and Acuna> A one year rental of Cease I personally would not consider that trade. Butto very well could be a middle of the rotation starter and has done everything asked if him in his major league career. Acuna could very possibly exceed all expectations with the poise and glove he showed last year in a pivotal situation replacing Lindor..... and that's not even including the monster power he flashed with his bat. Essentially.... you're EXPECTING Cease to lay down the HAMMER in the rotation this season....... otherwise the giveaway is much more desirable. Remember....he has the same pedigree of his brother and he very well could be one of those young prospects that excels at the top level better than his minor league numbers project. Some young players simply need the excitement of being in the spotlight everyday to bring their best out of them. I can't push the button on this trade.
I would rather go after King because at least we may have a chance to sign him to an extension. While Cease is a better pitcher, he’s represented by Boras, who will take Cease to free agency and we’d be back in the same place we are with Pete and the Yanks were with Soto.
If we get one of those aces and Pete Alonzo, we’re fucking stacked. Now I’m super excited. Come on man. We gotta do this.

I’m thinking the Dodgers & Mets top 100 wins this year. 🤞🏻

Is this David Sterns burner account?
I wouldn’t want to give up Butto but I understand the logic

The mets have said that they would eat Marte's contract

David Peterson could be our Ace, let's watch and see

Real question why are you focusing on Cease exclusively? From a roster construction standpoint King would be the better fit.
Sign Pete, trade for King (Gilbert and Butto) DONE!
Boomer Esiason reporting that the Mets and Alonso will come to an agreement today. When boomer reports this stuff he's usually right
Boomer is very intelligent and correct. Can U please point me to where Boomer says this?
Competing against the Dodgers??? I believe the Mets need better starting pitching!
Braves will have Acuna too…
Why would you want Cesse for 1 year and have to deal with boras again I would rather have King
