Can we get Adam Jones talking about the arms in Japan? There seems to be new buzz around Roki, but there are a ton of arms under the age 25 that could come to MLB and be solid starters. Yamashita and Takashi are both just 21 and absolutely dominate in NPB, but they're probably at least 2-4 years away from going to the MLB. Kaima Taira would make any team immediately better if he were on their roster. And he's a great character as well. Yamamoto seems to be adapting to MLB pretty fast, and that could bode well for a ton of these other under age 25 dudes in Japan to take the Ohtani route and make bank once they become full FA (despite probably maxing out arb money every year they are eligible).
Mets fan here. This team has been stuck in the middle for my entire life. Never good enough to win a World Series, never bad enough to get in the top 5 draft picks. I sincerely hope that they blow up the entire team and trade everyone they can outside of Alvarez, Vientos, Baty, and Christian Scott. The experiment with this core of Nimmo, Marte, Lindor, and Alonso has utterly failed.
Old enough to remember 86, so at 43 years old, they had great years. They need to hit the reset button, let Stearns do his actual job and then see. I’m not sure what to think tbh, outside of this season being a sell off
Old enough to remember 1969. You have had the Wikpon Mets. One of the worst owners I have seen for any team in my 60 years of being a fan. You are now part of the Cohen era. It has been interesting so far. But understand this. We finally have an owner who will spend money on players. That is something that has never been true in Met land. Ignore the first few years. They were trying to buy a championship. That usually doesn't work. With Stearns in charge and an owner with money, both of whom are Met fans, you will see this get better. Just not yet. They have committed to Diaz, Lindor, Senga, McNeil and Lindor. Everyone else is either under control or is gone after this year. ( Marte, Manea thru 2025). 2024 was never going to produce a winner. It wasn't designed to. It was designed to tread water and bridge to the off season where they will have $150m to spend. Focus on things that effect 2025 and beyond. Wins and losses are not so important this year. Imagine adding Soto, Corbin Burns and Christian walker plus a couple of solid bullpen arms, for instance. They will have that kind of money. Its bad right now, but its going to get better. We just have to survive 2024.
I wish the Mets would handle Jorge Lopez a little better, he probably have trouble answering the question, he is trying to answer the best he can in English, I which the interpreter was there and help him out, what he meant he is the worst teammate, he was frustrated after getting ejected and threw his glove in the stand , he seen remorseful , embarrassed, his head was down in the interview . I feel very sorry for his son , what he is going through, wish him good luck, he doesn’t look like a bad teammate for one freaking incident, his emotions got him that day. I wouldn’t release him , wish the Mets would clarify the media he didn’t mean saying worst team , but was a worst teammate letting the team down
He was not remorseful for anything he did in his interview and said he didn't care what the Mets did with him. They asked him numerous times. He's a MLB vet who has made millions. He will have every resource including time to help him out now. No need to bring it up.
Stop. Season was on the brink of disaster before it even started. Why? Sell… be done with this non functioning core. Their done. Sell, sell, and sell some more
Jorge just screwed it up and doesn't want to accept what he did. I'm a Spanish native speaker myself and the difference between "team" (equipo) and "teammate" (compañero de equipo) is HUGE. He shouldn't have flipped out the way he did on the field, initially.
@@isaacaccola646 Of course, but they're saying that "maybe" he didn't understand the difference between "team" and "team mate" and then compare those words with the Spanish equivalents. The guy just screwed it up and he got what he deserved.

big sellers soon. Severino can be a playoff starter

they are taught English as their second language on the island he know what he saying he don’t want to look bad for future teams

this team is in deep doo doo - massive long contracts with guys over 30 - what a mess. They'll never learn - it's all about the farm system .... duh !
I think Lopez understood, and he meant every word. The next day he walked it back because of how big of a story it became and of course the DFA.
