I actually think there’s a good chance they’ll be a little worse, but we’ll see. A lot of things went almost perfectly for this team, and you can’t expect that again.
@@IdliAmin_TheLastKingofSambaryea...you could be right...but you add soto to the mix, that changes everything...mets can win it all...2024=no soto=nlcs 2025 =with soto=world series champs
Soto isn’t leaving the Bronx; yes to Pete; I assume you meant Roki Sasaki, but he’s not getting posted; not sure Stearns wants to (or should) give a 7+ year megadeal to a 30-year-old pitcher with declining K rates, have to hope Burnes really did rediscover his cutter at the end of the year, as it’s his primary pitch and the one that made him an ace. Snell should be gettable on a shorter deal. (And to the person who said Adames-why? Someone else is going to pay him and let him play SS. And I don’t love the plate skills. Lots of chase, lots of Ks, has pop but the rest of the profile makes me think he won’t age that well.)
@@IdliAmin_TheLastKingofSambar "Soto isn't leaving the Bronx" - why is that exactly? Soto is a Boras client and he wants the most money. It's not 2004 anymore, the Mets have more money than the Yankees by a LOT, if the Mets come with the biggest offer (which I think they will) Soto's taking it.
“Is there anyone in the half a billion dollar range you’re interested in?” “Your right fielder did a solid job this post season. Are you open to looking for another right fielder?” Everyone knows what’s happening 🤣🤣
A lot of these guys ask questions so they can get a headline. They completely missed the opportunity to talk about the key players in the Mets' minor league system. Which ones are ready, who will you bring up and see in spring training, etc.
If we lose pete at 1b i like mark v 2 play 1b n let us acquire wily adames we cud play 3b (so I've heard) n if we dnt get soto who ya want in outfield??
@@MichaelAngelo-l5s Correct. Walker is a better defender, but at literally the least important defensive position other than pitcher, and he had that injury, as you pointed out. Obliques are even trickier for older players, so I’m not convinced Walker is ever going to produce like he did in 2022-23, because I’m not convinced the power is going to come all the way back. Pete’s power hasn’t diminished; he was just too passive and got behind in counts. Pete’s unusual for a power hitter, in that he doesn’t actually swing and miss that much. His chase rate was also better than average. But he was a little TOO selective, not always recognizing that pitchers were attacking him early in counts. He might also need to take his A-swing a little more often too, even if it results in a few more Ks. The top-end power is still there.
They won’t get deGrom (who has a no-trade), but if he’s gettable, they should consider it. Fans have short memories. Jake was healthy until May 2021, tried to fight it for two years and finally got TJS, and showed that his skills were still elite when he returned (this is in contrast to Verlander, who won the Cy Young in his first year back, but the underlying skills screamed regression, which is why I HATED that signing). I think Jake has at least 1-2 more ace-like seasons in him, maybe more, and he only has three years left on his deal. If the Rangers want to cut payroll and are willing to take the salary relief without also requiring ridiculous prospect capital, I’d do it. It’s not like the Mets really have high-end position player prospects anyway (sorry, but Luisangel ≠ Ronald-not even close).
Mets will not make any big name signings. They're cheap; 100% guaranteed they won't sign a name like Soto or deGrom as badly as we need those two IF they're series about a WS Championship.
Soto’s not leaving the Bronx because the Yankees can’t afford not to re-sign him. deGrom’s not a free agent, and he has a no-trade. That said, if the Rangers make him available, and don’t require Brandon Sproat or Jonah Tong in the deal (there might be one or two others, but the Mets’ position player prospects are mostly overrated), I would absolutely do it. Jake just had TJS, looked great in his return, he’ll be fine. Should be good to go for the remaining three years on his deal.
@@69ChevyGarage It’s weird to call a team “cheap” when they’ve had the league’s highest payroll each of the past two seasons. I don’t think they’ll get Soto because the Yankees will be too desperate to keep him, and deGrom isn’t a free agent (as much as I’d love for him to return). I don’t think they’re going to spend like idiots the way they did in 2023 (I HATED that Verlander signing sooooo much), but they’re going to spend, if for no other reason than they have so many players hitting free agency, including most of their pitching staff, and therefore a lot of slots to fill, and they don’t have guys in the minors who can step in right away. They’re going to have to backfill via FA and trades (personally, I hope they don’t ignore the trade market).
@@IdliAmin_TheLastKingofSambar Rewatch the video, Stearn says it out his own mouth. "Namebrand Ace" @1:42. Stop the delusion. We need at bare minimum a namebrand Ace, and three solid relievers. This is what got us to the show in '15.
To do that, the Mets would have to be terrible for a while, then draft the next Darryl and Doc. (And the new anti-tanking rules disallow teams from having top six picks in back-to-back years, so even that wouldn’t totally work.)
I mean in order to do that the Mets would have to tank and be terrible for the next few years so they can get a couple of key guys from high in the draft and then some owners in other organizations will have to be looking to deal away their stars as that's how we got keith and gary. Listen Frank Cashen did a great job building up the 86 Mets and when he got those calls where other teams were looking to get rid of key players he was able to make them come to NY but I think the circumstances in how he did it was important because we're probably not going to be in that same circumstance again. There's one more than one to build a team though!
@@Mike-we3rbThey also had a RIDICULOUS lineup, and Flaherty and Yamamoto are better than anyone the Mets have (and so was Buehler in his final two postseason starts).
@@IdliAmin_TheLastKingofSambarFlaherty isn't necessarily better than Meanae. He showed that he struggles if he faces the same lineup twice in a series. Didn't get out of the 3rd in either game 5. He had a good season but is also up and down.
@ I meant for the season, but if you want to call that a push based on Manaea’s final two months, or even give Manaea the edge, fine. Yamamoto is still better than anyone else the Mets have (and it’s not like the Mets have Manaea right now), *IF* Buehler has actually figured it out, he’s probably at least equal to Severino, and maybe a lot better, and the Dodgers also have a MUCH better bullpen and lineup. The Mets were really fortunate that all their short-term signings worked out as well as they did, and that everyone stayed healthy. I don’t think that’s something you can count on. That doesn’t mean I think they should give Corbin Burnes $300mm, but I also don’t think they can cheap out, either. And by the way, the Dodgers a) paid Yamamoto $325mm, and b) had like two rotations worth of pitchers on the IL. Their situation was out of necessity, not by design. But they’re so ridiculously talented, and their offense got hot at just the right time, that they were able to make it work. I don’t think the Mets can build their roster that way.
Stern's is the best GM in the game!!!!
We're going to have a stronger team with more passion and drive to reach the World Series '25. Let's Go Mets Nation.

And that's how you slay the NY media. He's good at answering reporter's questions...
How good is this guy as a GM? We are very lucky. He is extremely knowledgeable and intelligent. Mets fans are in good hands!
He's good at this
well at least that is very reassuring for mets fans
I love ❤️ David stearns ❤excellent GM
Bring back Stanek
4:09- Stearns didn’t want to say his name but he knows darn well who is worth that cash😂
Soto,Alonso,Suzuki and Burnes to the Mets 😊

Is starling marte your starting RFer as of now?
as he should be
Negotiating with players seems like fun
Please sign Pete he should finish his career a Met.
ChatGPT has summarized this videos. In short, the Mets have unlimited payroll flexibility 😁😎 /s
There isnt much bullpen help out there this year and that concerns me
I like what I hear ✅

Pete deserves more than a year contract. A one year offer is disrespectful .
Wendy are hiring a general manager

Get soto
Id rather see the Mets spend on pitching and sign Alonzo than pay Soto 600 M for 13 years.
Forget about CHRISTIAN WALKER. He's 34 yrs old. Four yrs older than PETE ALONSO.
Thank you!!! That's exactly what I've been saying plus I believe he's coming off an oblique injury. WTF would we do that???

Soto, Suzaki, Burnes, Menea, Bieber, Stanek and trade for Vlad Jr, Degrom and Langford
No on Degrom
Degrom lol
Lol the DeGrom. He not coming back brotha

Are coaches are not playing dont be cheap.
Juan Soto you are a met 🫡
STEARNS HATES PETE ALONSO. BECAUSE ALONSO IS THE GREATEST OFFENSIVE FORCE IN BASEBALL. AND BECAUSE PETE ALONSO IS LOVED BY THE FANS.
😂
Lmao what ?
Please don’t bring back Severino 🙏🏾. Burnes,Beuhler, Snell. Two out the 3 on this list and bring back Manaea. Forget Severino PLEASE!!!!
severino was extremely good
your a hater
The 2024 OMG Mets team definitely overachieved. Pete's going to the Yankees to smash there. Steve wips out the checkbook, and Mets get Soto.
