The Mets are reportedly ‘very in’ on Cody Bellinger per insider Mark Feinsand

Gonna offer him 3 & 100 and he will go to another team for 5-6 years.
It really makes no sense to give Bellinger a five year commitment when no one else deserved one.
I’m very in on Sydney Sweeney but she won’t accept a 3 year deal.
It will be beyond belief if the Mets give this guy anything more than 3 years 20 million per while allowing Pete to walk
Finally
They only want former Yankees, at the expense of current Mets and met fans.
Follow the money. The Mets are about sports entertainment at this point. If he will draw a crowd then sure.
This is the deal that I don’t want to happen, so of course… it’ll happen.
boy could you imagine getting bellinger and kyle tucker? that would be one hell of an offseason
More sloppy seconds. This time from the Dodgers and Yankees both, not just the latter.
It’s going to be a long year.
Won’t go more than 3 years for him.
I don’t know why people here are confused why a team would be more willing to give a guy who plays very solid defense in the OF 5 years then a guy who can’t barely play 1B.
He’s an elite defender both in the outfield and 1B, while being a solid (albeit inconsistent) hitter. He makes sense given Stearn’s philosophy, and not sure why people here are against a >3 year contract unless they’re making jokes.
Could certainly see Stearns ponying up 5 yrs for Belli.
Good or bad, only hindsight down the road can say… realistically, given what’s happened they pretty much need to be at least ‘very in’.
I’ll be glad if they get him. They just need to start getting major league caliber players asap, of which Bellinger is irrefutably one
High AAV, short duration.
Would be happy if they tried that with Bregman, too.
Bellinger’s underlying offensive data isn’t amazing – but his defense, age, and positional flexibility are all very nice.
Please god let it happen we need him and it would be so fucking funny to yoink another free agent straight out of the Bronx.
Bellinger on a 3 year deal fits Stearns’s vision of the roster almost perfectly.
High offensive output at a premium position, plus defender, low strikeout numbers.
Plus he’s already shown he can perform in NY. If you can DH him enough to get 100 games in CF out of him it’s a win.
Also stop comparing him to Pete, he’s gone. Replacing Tyrone Taylor and Cedric Mullins’s bat with Bellinger on a high AAV 3 year deal is a no brainer.
Cody Bellinger OPS away from Yankee stadium 2025: .715
Okay then do it. Stop being “in” and just do it.
Stearns is in for 2 years at 22 mill. Take it or leave it – probably
Not that I go in the Yankees sub, but can you imagine the comments in that sub if the Mets sign Bellinger.
I’m very in on Sydney Sweeney.
I am very blah on this news
Bellinger is already 30 years old. He’s basically a league average hitter away from the short porch.
You’d be paying all star money for a likely .700-750 OPS bat with solid corner outfield defense that will also decline as he ages. I cannot stress enough what an obvious disaster this would be.
He had the exact same xWOBA as Luis Robert last season, he got a bunch of cheap Yankee stadium home runs that inflated his stats. See his spray chart below. Half of these are routine F9’s at Citi.
Unfortunately I am picturing him .225 15 homers and 25 doubles with the Mets. I dont think Citi Field is his type of park. Focus on Tucker or a trade.

Stearns thought Pete was too risky but he wants to put his chips in on Bellinger? Whatever.
as we learned with Nimmo, when you a sign a 30 year old CF to a long term deal, you end up with a 32 year old corner outfielder in a couple of years. Might be worth it except for the fact one of those CF years could be lost to a lockout
But Ken Rosenthal said we aren’t in on him or Tucker??? Weird.
This article is AI generated slop.
He hit one of my favorite HRs of all time at Citi Field. The crack of the bat was hellacious and I won’t soon forget it.
I’m hoping this is like when a girl/guy play hard to get. Stearns pretending he likes Belli a lot, and hoping Tucker then realizes he does indeed want to be a Met.
Plus defender at three positions. He makes sense from a “run prevention” standpoint alone.
Please god. If we get him to play first and then get a OF i’ll be so happy
They’re “sooo in” meaning they haven’t even made an offer?

Absolutely hate this.
