1. I would too

2. Its nice that they asked

3. just keep him. he’s on a good contract

4. I like guys who wanna be Mets

5. Don’t care, see ya later hopefully

6. Oh he’s definitely gone. You don’t leak this unless something is heating up and with the Winter Meetings next week I expect something to get done.

   Regardless, it’s time to part ways. The peripherals are poor and if he continues regressing I’d rather have the roster space to add a more durable pitcher.

7. My question is who’s leaking this to the media and why?

8. I would rather be a multimillionaire than middle class

9. Brandon Nimmo:

10. Wish Senga had worked out but we can’t rely on him. With our pitching issues we can’t afford another Senga year.

11. We would rather he be good than suck.

12. This feels like a non-story to me but at least it’s a better non-story than Puma’s slop about Soto and Lindor having a bad relationship because one of them cares about fashion and the other doesn’t. Baby steps.

13. I’d rather be rich than not

14. Pitch well and stay

15. Senga’s contract looks pretty good after Cease got what he got. He should only be traded for real assets, not as a salary dump. A lot of people have forgotten how good he looked in the beginning of the season. We were outraged he wasn’t an allstar even though he was injured

16. I’d be ok with keeping him since I don’t know if we’d get much in return. If we keep him, we would need to decide whether he is

    – a starter in our rotation

    – in the minors to start since he has options and calling him up when we need him

    – a “regular” bullpen arm if he can handle that

    – a long reliever/tag team with another starter
