Scherzer is such a pud, he's all smug about making it known he would waive his no trade clause to get out of that hell hole, and he's a big part of the reason they're fighting with the Nats for last place. Imagine the reception he'll get if he ever pitches in New York again.

Billy Eppler speaks on the Max Scherzer trade: "I do want to be clear that it's not a rebuild. It's not a fire sale. It's not a liquidation. This is just a repurposing of Steve's investment in the club"
lol, I wonder if he was able to keep a straight face when he said that.
The three-time Cy Young Award winner also agreed to opt in on the final year of his contract in 2024 at $43.3 million, and the Mets are paying about $35 million of the remaining $58 million on the right-hander's contract."
So by "repurposing his investment" he only wasted $348M this year instead of the whole $364M.
Well played!

Mets are going to Met and only morons look at that franchise and think they are doing ANYTHING right.

I read a quote somewhere that the Mets goal is to emulate the Dodgers and become rich in prospects as well as rich in talent and rich financially.
Sounds awesome, let's use as our model a team that has spent eleventy kajillion trillion dollars to win one tainted title in 35 years.

Speaking of knockouts... loller Tim Anderson It did me some good to see glass jaw Anderson get KO'd. I got stuck with him on my fantasy team this year and had to dump him. After averaging 17-20 HRs per year for 5 seasons, he has one HR this year in 350 AB's. He's also gone from hitting .300 to .335 down to .240 this year. There has to be some sort of PED thing going on with this guy, whatever he was using he stopped. I've never felt like they cleaned that mess up all the way anyway.

I believe players are doing too much strength and power training, pushing to hit 500 foot HRs and throw 100 mph and it’s making them vulnerable to injuries. They should be doing endurance/flexibility/agility training instead. High reps with low weights instead of low reps with with heavy weights.
