hey big news the mets just signed a new assistant to the head of maintenance
I don't like Robert Jr but Acuna was going nowhere with this club
The Mets went woke. When they supported transgender. They lost another fan. I have been a faithful fan since the beginning. I was a dodger fan when they played in Brooklyn. The New York Mets cross the line. And I will never visit them again. I was one of the first to enter Shea stadium. Back in the day I worked at the world fair. They are done in my book. And the Yankees are racist.
Well I don’t mine the trade, but now do I think this cures all?? They need to get Belinger still!! But they Proably won’t now , very disappointing
mid player at best….Mets a joke
Mets/Stearns doing a great job retooling this lineup. Can’t do any worse than last year.
Pitching rotation is still meh, and would’ve preferred Duran (who Ive heard is possibly on the block). But it is what it is.
Gunna miss acuna but this is a new team now through and through
He is awful! Terrible move
DAMN I wish they could've kept Acuna, but I understand Overall this a very good trade, & it appears that the NEW Mets team is finally coming together. Now we need to address pitching more. LFGM!!
Guaranteed to be batting 190 by june…curse of the mets
He likes it because it means Bellinger goes back to the Yankees. I'm sure he couldn't sleep all night 😂
Solid defense up the middle and has all 5 tools. For Acuna who was in a log jam and an other who is meh. Yes a Top SP IS STILL NEEDED… I have faith in Stearns🎉
How do you sign a player for 15 years, $700million+…the next season you miss the playoffs, followed by shipping off of a handful of beloved Mets. Seems like the priority is that fucking Casino, not actually building a powerhouse team.
Please don’t gaslight people into thinking this was a good move. The white Sox would have traded this moron AFTER finding out where Cody signed. The Mets clearly are in panic I have to do something mode and praying to god these two assholes become superstars
I’m disappointed they traded away Acuña
Jose Siri, Cedric Mullins, Tyrone Taylor and now Lois Roberts. lol. Stearns loves center fielders who can’t hit.
BRANDON NIMMO IS A VASTLY SUPERIOR OITFIELDER AND HITTER AND LEADER TO ROBERT JR. STEARNS AND COHEN HAVE PISSED AWAY ACUNA JR AND A PITCHER ON AN INJURED-RIDDLED INFERIOR PROBLEM. STEARNS AND COHEN ARE IN.PANIC MODE.
Give me either framber or peralta and kopech for the BP.
Mets are a joke. Gm is clueless. Acuna is ten times better than robert hes shit
angle?
Time to trade the others(Vientos, Baty, Mauricio) for pitching.
Luis Angle ? Come on white boy
Still need a veteran power bat
.224 hitter last two years. Semien .230 hitter. Great. 🤦🏽
He'll be injured and miss over 100 games. Why would anyone trade for an IL all-star? White Sox won this one big time.
I am a White Sox fan who has probably have watched every game he has ever played. (albeit on tv.)
He doesn't have a "little bit of a injury problem" He has been injured most of his career.
He simply can't hit a slider away. He can't do it. He will hit home runs on mistake pitches.
He is an athletic CF who can make play in the gap. He has trouble coming in on certain balls.
He will steal basis. If he stay's healthy he will be OK. But, he will strike out- alot.
Jose Siri #2. Its deja vu all over again.
He'll be much better in this lineup!
BTW, it's LuisAngel NOT Angle, douche!
Joel, you're an asswipe.
How many times are you going to pat yourself on the back??!!
This is a very good and low risk trade. Roberts brings Gold Glove defense. I think Roberts is going to thrive in a much better lineup. Last year Lindor stole 31 bases, Soto 38 and Roberts 33 … 102 stolen bases from your no. 9, no. 1 and no. 2 hitters. Bichette (batting 3rd) may have a career year in RBIs.
Worst trade
And the stupid Reds could never get him. This was a pure salary dump!
Hope I'm wrong….this is a BIG reach. Would have rathered have gotten Doyle from the Rockies or Durran from Boston
Doyle and 25 doubles 25 HRS and 25 steals,oh and ++ cf
We need the defense. Soto is a terrible fielder.
Sure, just what they needed, a .220 hitter, with limited power, and strikes out 40% of the time.
Thanks Joel, know that Jesus loves you ❤
