[QUOTE="CINCYMETJACKET, post: 779115, member: 4003"] No problem, you got the conversation started, which seems to be 3/4 of the battle in all aspects of life these days... Not terribly excited about the Almora signing, but don't know much about him. Have read conflicting reports as to whether that means we're still in or out on JBJ. Don't recall whether I've shared these opinions on this board or not in the past, but my biggest disappointment was not getting Springer. From the NYC area (Connecticut, played college ball at UCONN) and would have been a good fit. But based on the analysis of "experts", will likely have to transition to a corner spot in the not too distant future. Reports are that the Mets offered him 6 years for 120-125M. Toronto offered 6 years/150 M. If he doesn't want our offer, I'd rather re-sign home grown players Conforto and Nimmo long term and still need a CF. As for Bauer, I read that the Mets had more money on the table than the Dodgers. Not disappointed that we missed out on him. If you look at his stats year by year, not that impressive. Great year last year in a short season pitching against the AL and NL Central, which were two of the worst offensive divisions in MLB. Will be curious to see how he does against better competition this year for (hopefully) a full season. I suspect it's not going to be $40M worth based on other players that could have been signed for that money. From a Mets standpoint, I'm looking at 2 or 3 of JBJ, Paxton, Walker, or Odorizzi. My #1 desire though is to sign Lindor and Conforto to long term deals. Even before the Springer and Bauer signings fell through. [/QUOTE]
