    If we resign Bregman, except for a left handed reliever, we may be done for rest of the offseason.

    I think this is a pretty fair and accurate assessment of the ceiling and floors! Excellent job! early - I love his stuff! True, he does not have an out pitch, but if he is successful at mixing and matching 3-4 different pitches, he will generate outs and most importantly for bres-slow, strike outs!!! I hope he starts the year at Worcester and works on tightening up the secondaries. tolle - already has an elite major league fastball. The development of his secondary pitches will determine if he is crochet like ace or our next closer. The slider was tremendous in the minors last season, but as he hit the rookie wall in Boston, he lost the sharp break on it. I think he gets the slider working again in 2026! Can he refine the cutter or curve or change up into a legitimate 3rd pitch. If he does, then he will develop into a crochet like ace!!!!

    Detroit fans are thinking Bregman is going to sign with either us or them! if Detroit signs Bregman, they will not trade skubal! but why would Bregman sign with Detroit if skubal will likely leave after 1 season???

    If the twins expect 2 top 50 prospects for Ryan, I have to think most teams will decline that type trade

    Boras will want several opt out years in that contract

    I think Campbell’s confidence was bruised badly in 2025. He has the potential to be an above average hitter when he is right. defensively, regardless of position, he’s never going to be better than below average at any position!

    I think bres-slow is waiting for the home grown reinforcements to arrive. hang’em Chaim did not use high draft picks on pitching very often !

    I thought peralta had an option for only 8 million

    This is the most important thing that bres-slow has to do! Balancing quantity and quality. the budget says we can only sign so many exceptional pitchers. having a fully stocked minor league system seems to be the best and most efficient way to build quality depth! I think bres-slow did a tremendous job of using the minor league system to deal with the incredible number of injuries we had in 2025! I think bres-slow had to rush guys like Tolle and early and I think think year he hopes to avoid that, if possible. the biggest thing for 27 and 28 are the pitchers with good to great stuff that got injured this year. (Valera specifically) those guys could be a huge boost to farm system depth in the future

    I like the idea of bringing both of these players back. didn’t matz say he prefers a chance to be a starter again? If matz had better strike out numbers, I think bres-slow would have tried to extended him in the regular season.

    Is yoshida a DFA candidate??
  12. Larry Cook
    Is the pitching staff we have now, the staff that reports to fort Myers? rotation: 1.) crochet [left] (core player) 2.) gray (core - one and done) 3.) bello (core) 4.) Sandoval [left] (filler - one and done) 5.) cutter (filler - looking to upgrade) bullpen: 1.) Chapman [left] (core player) 2.) Whitlock (core player) 3.) slaten (core player) 4.) weissert (filler) 5.) Criswell (filler) 6.) Harrison [left] (filler ) 7.) drohan [left] (filler) 8.) hicks - (filler - looking to upgrade) starter depth at Worcester: dobbins - when healthy, uberstine, early [left], tolle [left], perales - when healthy reliever depth at Worcester: Kelly, Moran [left], Sandlin

    Mets fans I met on line seem to think the problem is the Mets training staff and the program the trainers put together!!
  14. Larry Cook
    …. A declining pitcher and bres-slow is gambling that he gets 1 more decent year out of that arm!!!!
  15. Larry Cook
    Time for bres-slow to earn his pay!! someone suggested yoshida for arenado earlier!!!
  16. Larry Cook
    Rangers fans speculating what we will give them for seiger! They think Anthony and tolle for seiger is a fair trade
  17. Larry Cook
    2 guys actually
  18. Larry Cook
    If senga throws good at the wbc, then I doubt the Mets trade him!
  19. Larry Cook
    Good point! Maybe we need to investigate further.
  20. Larry Cook
    Bres-slow did those deals?? Wasn’t he still playing then?
  21. Larry Cook
    What injury risk. I thought he pulled a hamstring last season
  22. Larry Cook
    I think narveaz had a couple things going on last year! first. He hit the rookie wall from overuse! Second. He played through injury that required surgery I think.
  23. Larry Cook
    Do you think senga can have a bounce back year?
  24. Larry Cook
    Do we care what the athletics do if they agree to take yoshida and a bunch of cash from us?
  25. Larry Cook
    If we kick in some cash, yoshida is a slight improvement over some of the royals outfielders
