HOW DH HURTS METS
Since Brodie Van Wagenen began assembling his team, the overture was this was a team well built for the DH. In 2020, because of a pandemic, the Mets actually did get that DH. After all that hypothesizing about how much it would help the Mets, the end result was a last placefinish.
There are many reasons why, and assuredly many would point to the pitching. However, it went much deeper than that. One of the big issues was team defense. Again, the Mets team defense was atrocious with a -22 DRS. That was good for fifth worst in the majors. Over the past three seasons, the Mets -171 DRS is the worst in the National League and second worst inall of the majors.
This is in large part to an organizational philosophy which pre-dated Van Wagenen. The thought was to acquire as many bats as possible and to find a position for them. The Mets have been all too happy to get players and just stick them somewhere on the diamond. This has led to J.D. DAVIS at third and left. DOMINIC SMITH in left field. BRANDON NIMMO in center. MICHAEL CONFORTO playing all three outfield positions. JEFF MCNEIL playing four different positions. This goes on and on, and in some ways you can trace this tomfoolery all the way back to LUCAS DUDA playing the outfield. Perhaps part of this has been the result of Jeff Wilpon running the baseball operations. That said, there has been a prevailing thought process with the Mets to not make the difficult decisions and to hold onto all of their good players. They have found it more prudent to play players out of position resulting in horrible defense, and as a result, the team failing to live up to their sometimes loftyexpectations.
Now, taking a look at the Mets current roster, you can say Smith at first base and PETE ALONSO at DH is an embarrassment of riches. In Alonso and Smith, the Mets have two cornerstone cost controlled players. As an organization, this is quite an enviable position. When you have those two spots with such high caliber and ceiling players, you don’t want to move on from them. That goes double when you can play them each everyday at firstbase and DH.
However, that is part of the problem. While the Mets are set at first and DH, they are a disaster at other important positions. They don’t have a starting catcher, and really, their depth at the position is a question mark. They have no one really capable of playing third base on an everyday basis. They lack anyone in the organization truly capable of playing center everyday. The Mets desperately need at least 2/5 of a starting rotation filled, and they also need to build a bullpen. Beyond that, the Mets have zero depth at Triple-A, and their Double-A depth is questionable. Put another way, the Mets are a mess, and even with Steve Cohen’s deep pockets, not every one of these areas can be addressed in free agency. It just can’t. No, the Mets need to be put in a difficult position to have to make hard decisions. Frankly, the trade market sets up extraordinarily well for that right now. At the moment, we know NOLAN ARENADO,
FRANCISCO LINDOR
,
and BLAKE SNELL
on the trade bloc. There are very likely other high profile players there for the taking as well. Given how Van Wagenen ravaged the Mets farm system, there really isn’t the prospect capital to make those trades. Sure, you can tradea BRETT BATY
or a MARK VIENTOS
,
but if you do that, you take the paper thin depth you have and tear through it leaving you with next to no hope for the future. No, if the Mets are going to take that next step, they are going to have to take the surplus they have at positions like first, and they are going to have to make hard choices and make shrewd trades for top end talent at areas they have significant deficiencies. If there is no DH, the Mets would almost be forced to move at least one of Alonso or Smith to get that top end player. However, with the DH, the impetus is not there. In fact, you could argue it irresponsible to not go into next season with both Alonso and Smith if there was a DH. As noted, therein lies the problem. The Mets aren’t really in a position to trade top end talent for top end talent in a world where there is a DH. But, if they want real baseball in the National League in 2021, the Mets would be in prime position to do it, and teams would likely line up to grab one of Alonso or Smith thereby driving up the return the Mets could receive. So yes, given the roster construct, you could argue the Mets are better with the DH. However, in terms of building the roster, the DH stagnates growth and creativity. The impetus to make a trade is gone, and with that, you likely lose out on the ability to make the Mets the best possible team they could be in 2021. And besides all of that, the DH is bad for the Mets because it is bad for baseball. The short-sighted hope for 2021 needs to be counter-balanced against the next 10-100 years. When you look at it that way, pushing for a COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE GIMMICK is just plain bad for baseball, and as a result, bad for the Mets.page top
JACKIE BRADLEY JR. MAY NOT BE VIABLE CF OPTION FOR METS The Mets are in need of a centerfielder this offseason, GEORGESPRINGER
is
obviously the top target. Arguably, he is THE top target for the Mets. The problem for the Mets is Springer will be that for several baseballteams.
One of those teams is his hometown team Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox not only offer a return to home for Springer, but they also have ALEXCORA ,
who Springer developed a good relationship with during their time on the Houston Astros. Combine that with the Red Sox deep pockets (even if they cry poor), and even with Steve Cohen, he may be difficult tosign.
If that is the case, the Mets will need to look towards their Plan B. Perhaps the top Plan B option is JACKIE BRADLEY JR. The positives with Bradley is his defense. This past year, he was the second best center fielder with a 7 OAA. DRS doesn’t rank him as high, but his 5 OAA did rank him as fifth best. The OAA mark wasn’t a short sample size anomaly with Bradley’s 6 OAA ranking him 14th. His -2 DRS tells a different story. In 2018, he was at a -1 DRS. Really, when you look at it, there has been a wide disparity between how OAA and DRS views Bradley’s defense. According to OAA, he’s a very good fielder, and DRS has him as slightly below average. Splitting the difference, from 2018 – 2020, Bradley’s 7.9 UZR is the fourth best among center fielders. There is a potential reason for that disparity. As described quite well and in-depth by MLB TONIGHTS ‘ ERIC BYRNES, center field in Fenway Park is very complicated. No matter which metric you rely, it is a clear Bradley would be a significant upgrade defensively at an important position. That said, there is a debate as to how much of an upgrade he represents. There is also the issue as to how long he can be that upgrade. Next year, Bradley will be 31. While he hasn’t show issues with slowing down per se, he has never been fast for his position. In fact, even at his quickest in 2018, his 27.8 ft/sec sprint speed was only 50th best at the position. Really, Bradley relies upon positioning and a good quick jump to field his position. In terms of positioning, the Mets promise to truly fortify the front office, which would give him what he needs to succeed from a positioning standpoint. However, once he loses a step, his days in center may well be over. That is very problematic for Bradley as he is not a very good offensive player. For his career, he is only a 93 wRC+. Heading into 2020, he was really declining at the plate posting a 90 wRC+ over the previous three seasons. That indicates his 119 wRC+ in 2020 was a complete outlier. When you dig through the numbers, it was a the result of a wholly unreliable small sample size. His .343 BABIP will regress back to his .298 career mark. According to his BASEBALL SAVANTpage,
his hard hit percentage and exit velocities are in a three yeardecline.
This all makes Bradley a massive risk. He’s at an age when his skills will be in decline. That does double for his speed and jump. He does not have the bat where he can play at a corner outfield position. Really, where his bat is now, you cannot justify playing him everyday unless he is playing a very good to elite center field. If you are the Mets, this should be a good indication Springer needs to be the top target this offseason, and he may be the player they need to go past their point of comfort to ensure he comes to the Mets. If not Springer, there aren’t really any viable Plan B options because it would seem Bradley isn’t one.page top
METS NEED TO MOVE AMED ROSARIO TO CF NOW With the rise of ANDRES GIMENEZ, the
Mets are already moving on in some ways from AMED ROSARIO. To
wit, the are REPORTS Rosario will be moved to a utility role in 2021. This should come as no surprise as Rosario has been given time to establish himself as the Mets everyday shortstop. Unfortunately, for a myriad of reasons, that hasn’t happened. With a better SS option on the Major League roster, Rosario needs to play somewhere. Looking at the Mets current roster, there are holes at third and center. Presumably, Rosario could fill either spot. In terms of third, his continued marked improvement at short with his strong arm suggests he could play very well there. That said, there should be some reservation over his ABILITY TO GO TO HIS LEFT.
Of course, the bigger issue is his bat. At a career 89 wRC+, including a regression in 2020, his bat won’t play at third. It would, however, play in center. The bigger issue is whether he can play the position. There are strong indications he can. In his career, Rosario has exhibited elite sprint speed. Even with his 28.7 ft/second being a career low, he’d still rank in the top 20 among center fielders (if he played the position). Really, he has the speed to not only play center, but to play the position at a high level. With LUIS ROJAS, he also
has a manager in place who can get him quickly up to speed in center. Now, the obvious rebuttal is there are better options than Rosario in center. That’s absolutely true. Either GEORGE SPRINGERor
JACKIE BRADLEY JR.
would
be a significant upgrade. The Mets should absolutely pursue them as well as other options. That said, just because the Mets have significant interest and money to spend doesn’t _de facto _mean they’ll land either player. For example, the Red Sox also have very deep pockets and are rumored to be interested in Springer. The Mets may also need or want to allocate their offseason budget towards the pitching staff and catcher. Neither of those areas are going to be cheap to address in free agency. As such, the Mets need a viable CF alternative plan. Given his skill set and the need to find a position for him, the Mets should be preparing the Rosario in CF contingency plan. If for no other reason, the Mets should pursue this path for Rosario to make him more versatile and to make him a backup at the position.page top
MARK BUEHRLE COMPARES FAVORABLY TO HALL OF FAMERSMARK BUEHRLE
is one
of those Hall of Fame candidates some immediate dismiss only to keep returning to the name. One of the reasons why is he had a long career where he was at least a good pitcher for 15 years. It’s amazing to think he had a 15 year career with just two of those years being under a 100 ERA+. One of those years was a 95 and the other a 99. In both of those seasons, he surpassed 200 innings. For 14 straight years, Buehrle surpassed 200 innings, and he fell just 1.1 innings of hitting that mark in his final season. That 14 year stretch was one short of tying the all-time record jointly held by CYYOUNG ,
DON SUTTON
,
GAYLORD PERRY
, and
WARREN SPAHN
.
There’s some more impressive feats and company. Buehrle is tied for third all-time with 15 consecutive 30 start seasons. He’s tied with Perry and behind just Spahn and Young. Notably, in all 15 of those seasons Buehrle won 10+ games. Buehrle was thrown two hitters with one of those two being a perfect game. That is a feat which has been accomplished only by NUMBER of other pitchers – SANDY KOUFAX, Young,
ROY HALLADAY
, RANDY
JOHNSON
, JIM
BUNNING
, and
ADDIE JOSS
. Those
are all Hall of Famers. When you see that group, it gives you some pause and makes you realize Buehrle does merit a closer look. In that closer look, you see he’s been better than some Hall of Fame pitchers. Both Buehrle and WHITEY FORDpitched
16 years with Buehrle having the higher WAR. However, it should be noted Ford had lost two years to military service and had postseasonsuccess.
Bunning pitched one more year than Buehrle. Buehrle had a higher ERA+ than Bunning. In fact, Buehrle also had a higher ERA+ than several Hall of Famers. That includes Niekro and Sutton. That also includes JACK MORRISwho was
inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Veteran’s Committee. Looking at these two, Buehrle had the better WAR, ERA, ERA*, and K/BBamong other stats.
That’s what so interesting about Buehrle. When you dig deep into the numbers you see a pitcher who compares quite well to pitchers inducted into the Hall of Fame. That includes those inducted fairly recently. Yes, Buehrle does fall short in a number of areas. For example, the average Hall of Fame starter has a 73.3 WAR, 50.0 WAR7, and a 61.6 JAWS. Buehrle is at a 59.1/35.8/47.4. Still, Buehrle accomplished things in his career only Hall of Famers have accomplished. He’s consistently in Hall of Fame company when you examine his career. Ultimately, what this should tell us is Buehrle has a career which merits further consideration. Hopefully, he passes the five percent mark to permit us to do that instead of letting the Veterans Committee take an _ad hoc_ look at him in the future.page top
ROBINSON CANO’S HALL OF FAME CHANCES SHOULD NOT BE IMPACTED BY SECOND PED SUSPENSION Take out ROBINSON CANO‘s PED
suspensions, and he was going to be a sure-fire, first-ballot Hall of Famer. Really, when you break it down, the conversation around Cano wasn’t going to be whether he was inducted, but rather, where he ranked all-time among second basemen. That’s how good Cano has beenin his career.
Naturally, Cano’s PED suspensions changed that. Instead of looking at him as a Hall of Famer, the discussion has shifted. Now, it is seen as a _ fait accompli _Cano will not be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. At this point, there are even some who are at least inferring Cano will be five percented off the ballot when hiscandidacy arises:
> Hall of Fame ballots are arriving. Robinson Cano will likely be on > one of those someday. Hard to see him getting any support now.>
> — Marc Carig (@MarcCarig) November 18, 2020>
While you can excuse the rush to judgment hot takes, in reality, it is bizarre people would hold that position at all. Certainly, Hall of Fame voting has given no indication whatsoever Cano will be a one-and-done when he hits the Hall of Fame ballot. For that, we have to look no further than MANNY RAMIREZ.
Ramirez was the first player to fail two different PED tests. Despite that, he has lasted four years on the ballot. In fact, he has gone from 23.8% of the vote in his first year to 28.2% last year. No, those four gained votes doesn’t truly propel him towards the Hall of Fame, but he is still hanging on the ballot as the continued referendum on other PED users nears its conclusion. This year is going to be the penultimate year on the ballot for BARRYBONDS
and ROGER CLEMENS
. At a
61.0% and 60.7% respectively, both players have been at least trending towards induction. Remember, both players debuted on the ballot with relatively low vote totals. In fact, in 2013, Bonds only received 36.2% of the vote, and Clemens received 37.6%. Both players have steadily climbed, and there have been more than a few voters whose early positions have changed due to Bud Seligand TONY LA RUSSA
being
inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. As Mike Vaccaro of the NEWYORK POST
said
when opting to begin voting for PED users, “Selig getting in was a game changer for me.” Certainly, Bonds and/or Clemens getting in could be game changers for other voters. On that point, no one can be quite sure whether they get in via the BBWAA vote over the course of the next two votes. If they are not inducted by that point, it’s well within the realm of possibility a Veteran’s Committee electorate who not only inducted people like Selig, LaRussa, and JOE TORRE, each
of whom were propelled into the Hall of Fame due to PED user, but may also may be very sympathetic to PED users will induct Bonds and Clemens on their own volition. If that were to occur, testing positive will no longer be seen as a bar to induction into the Hall of Fame. If that is the case, we should see players like Ramirez get an uptick in voting. By natural extension, Cano’s chances would then be bolstered as well. At this point, it is was too early to predict whether Cano will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Really, the only thing we do know is there are a number of test cases ahead of him, and very likely, there is going to be eight more years before this is even up for a debate. When we get to that point, lets see what has happened with Bonds, Clemens, and Ramirez before addressing the topic of what Cano’s second PED test has on his Hall of Fame chances.page top
ENJOY RETIREMENT TERRY COLLINS With his contract up and new ownership in place, TERRY COLLINShas
departed the New York Mets and has announced his retirement. There’s a lot to say about Collins and his tenure as Mets manager. More than the wins and losses was Collins the person. He is a good and decent man who connected with everyone, and he’s going to be missed. We’ve seen it from fans who remember him celebrating with them in Chicago. His players, like NOAH SYNDERGAARD, always
spoke highly of him and continue to do so > I will always be grateful to this man. Simply an amazing human. > Thank you TC. https://t.co/BEoeD0YmX7>
> — Noah Syndergaard (@Noahsyndergaard) November 20, 2020>
It’s not just what we saw and heard from Collins. It is what he did when no one was looking. Five years ago, as the Mets were going through a mercurial season which ended in heartbreak, COLLINS TOOK THE TIME TO SEND CONDOLENCESto a
widow of a family he didn’t know. For me, that’ll be the lasting memory of Collins. He was a man who took the time to do the right thing even when his job was extremely difficult and tense. He did it when no one was looking. Overall, Collins is a good man, and you’re never better off as an organization when you lose genuinely good human beings like him. Being the person he is, he still has a lot to offer the world. No matter what he does, here’s hoping he finds something which brings him as much joy as watching his team win a pennant. As a man, he deserves that and much more.page top
ROBINSON CANO PED SUSPENSION LATEST REASON TRADE WAS DUMB There are times when teams make trades they appear bad in hindsight. The classic example of this was the NOLAN RYANtrade.
Ryan was an enigmatic right-hander the Mets just couldn’t quite figure out, and they were going to get a former All-Star in JIMFREGOSI
to handle third. At the time, it made sense, but as time passed it looked worse and worse. Then there is the ROBINSON CANOtrade.
This was a trade deemed flat out dumb at its inception. It wasn’t just that Cano had what many perceived to be an untradeable contract. That was partially because he was already in his mid 30s. Mostly, it was because he was coming off of a PED suspension which should have cast serious doubt over not only his career stats, but also his ability to produce as he aged. Of course, Brodie Van Wagenen was the one person who actually bought the bogus explanation. > Brodie says he's comfortable with Cano and the violation. Said it > was a suspension for a diaretic not steroids.>
> — Matt Ehalt (@MattEhalt) December 4, 2018>
Despite all the red flags and warnings, Van Wagenen went forward to rescue his former client from Seattle to return him to New York like Cano wanted. In the process, he made what ranks among the worst, if not the worst, trades in all of Mets history. Certainly, it is easily the worst Mets trade this century. Each and every year which passes, this trade gets worse and worse. To put it in perspective, all we need to do is examine where the pieces of this trade are and will be in 2021:MARINERS RETURN
GERSON BAUTISTA
–
after dealing with injury issues has signed a minor league deal to return to the Seattle Mariners.JAY BRUCE
–
Free agent whose $14 million is off the books available for now the Philadelphia Phillies to invest this offseason.JUSTIN DUNN
–
projected to be part of the Mariners Opening Day rotation after posting a 104 ERA+ over the past two seasons. Notably, the Mets are looking to build not only a 2021 pitching rotation, but also pitchingdepth.
JARRED KELENIC
– widely seen as one of the top prospects in all of baseball, and he may very well make his MLB debut at some point during the 2021 season.ANTHONY SWARZAK
– did
not pitch last year after making $8.5 million in 2019.METS RETURN
EDWIN DIAZ
–
after a terrible 2019, he rebounded to have a strong 2020 season albeit one with four blown saves in 10 attempts. The question for him in 2021 is whether his good year, bad year pattern continues. Really, Diaz is it for the Mets return because Cano is not going to play in 2021. There is now a question about whether he actually plays another game again. Certainly, you could argue the Mets would look to buy him out at some point or just flat out release him. Who knows? The only thing we do know is Cano is out of baseball in 2021. Perhaps, that is a large reason why Van Wagenen and the person who hired him, Jeff Wilpon, will also be out of baseball. In fact, this trio may very well be and probably should be out for good. That will give them all a front row seat to seeing Kelenic and Dunn lead the Mariners organization back to postseason contention.page top
KOLTEN WONG MAY BE BETTER OPTION THAN DJ LEMAHIEUWith ROBINSON CANO
‘s PED
suspension, there’s at least the suspicion the Mets could look to replace him through free agency. Given Steve Cohen’s deep pockets, the popular name initially surfaced is DJ LEMAHIEU.
It’s certainly understandable why the Mets would have interest in LeMahieu. First and foremost, he has versatility allowing the Mets to move him and JEFF MCNEILaround
the diamond.
He’s been a top five MVP finalist and a Silver Slugger both years with the Yankees, and he’s more than shown the ability to handle New York. The latter point is something which should never be discounted. Still, LeMahieu isn’t perfect, and there are some indications he may not be a good fit with the Mets. First and foremost, he is a Yankee Stadium monster. Over the past two years, he has hit .366/.421/.642 with a 183 wRC+. Away from Yankee Stadium, LeMahieu is a .309/.354/.439 with a 112 wRC+. Another important note is he has a .378 BABIP at Yankee Stadium and a .334 BABIP at home. That BABIP point is noteworthy because prior to his becoming a Yankee he was a .307 BABIP player. This means what he has done the past two years is outside of what his normal skillset is. Put another way, if you take LeMahieu out of Yankee Stadium, we can very likely expect his offensive numbers to regress significantly. Now, if he is a 112 wRC+ player, that is very valuable. Realistically speaking, it should not be out of the realm of possibility he around that, but it should be noted LeMahieu was an 90 wRC+ hitter before signing with the Yankees. Another important note with LeMahieu is his defense is slipping. When he was with the Colorado Rockies, he was a two time Gold Glover. This was more than reputation as his defensive metrics were quite good as well. In his final two years in Colorado, he had a 9 and 13 OAA as well as a 12 and 14 DRS. Simply put, there may not have been a better defender at second than him. However, over the last two years, his defense has slipped. After a slightly above average 2 OAA and 3 DRS, he dropped to a -1 OAA and 0 DRS. That isn’t surprising as that occurred in LeMahieu’s age 30 and 31 seasons. That’s an important consideration as he is now at an age when his defense typically declines year-to-year. What makes that all the more alarming is Michael Kay’s report on THEMICHAEL KAY SHOW
that LeMahieu is looking at a five year deal. If you are the Mets, you already have a former Yankees second baseman signed to a burdensome contract. There is absolutely no reason to willingly become tetheredto another one.
If the Mets want to bring in another second baseman a much more preferable option would be KOLTEN WONG.
Wong is coming off back-to-back Gold Glove winning seasons at second. Looking at his defense, he has had a 16, 19, and 6 DRS in each of the past three seasons and an 11, 8, and 2 OAA. It should be noted here last season’s numbers were not necessarily indicative of a drop off as much as it was because of the shortened 2020 season (yes, you can argue the same with LeMahieu). At the plate, Wong is a batter who does not strike out often, and he has really improved his eye at the plate. Both his strikeout and walk rates have been above-average the past two seasons. That is a large reason why Wong has improved to being a 103 wRC+ over the past two years which is an improvement over his 96 career mark. No, Wong is not as exciting as LeMahieu, and his ceiling may not be the same. However, Wong doesn’t present the same troubles LeMahieu present. He has not shown signs of decline in the field. His offensive stats have not been buttressed by unsustainably high BABIPs or by playing in an extreme hitter’s park, and he’s not going to command that monster contract which promises to be an albatross at some point. Another very important consideration is there is not a wide chasm in terms of overall production from these two players. Over the past two years, LeMahieu has accumulated an impressive 8.7 WAR. For his part, Wong has accumulated a very overlooked 6.3 WAR. Yes, LeMahieu has been better, but not to the point where he should get significantly more in terms of years and AAV. Overall, if the Mets don’t want to entrust second base to McNeil (which they should), it would seem the much better action would be to sign Wong to a shorter term and cheaper deal. With Wong, there is not the same regression fears, and it will open up money to invest in other areas of need.page top
ROBINSON CANO POSITIVE PED TEST GOOD FOR METS The Mets had real issues regarding roster construction and much of it was related to ROBINSON CANO. His
presence was a complication forcing a number of bad decisions. With Cano at second, JEFF MCNEILwas
displaced from the position he played best. That meant he moved to third where his arm didn’t translate well or left field. If he was in left field, that meant BRANDON NIMMOmoved
to center where he was ill suited. Really, every permutation of the lineup necessitated Nimmo in CF. The Mets have two everyday caliber first basemen in PETE ALONSOand
DOMINIC SMITH
. If
Cano needed to DH, that meant both first basemen played in the field. That moved the Mets best defensive first baseman in Smith to left where he’s not particularly good. That was exacerbated by Alonso being a poor defensive first baseman. Really, when you look at it, the necessity to play Cano and his $20.25 million salary just forces a series of terrible decisions. That’s a large reason why the Mets never hit their supposed ceiling – the defense was that bad and held the team back. Now, with Cano gone for the 2021 season much of the Mets problems havebeen solved.
McNeil can now be the everyday second baseman. Nimmo can then go back to a corner outfield position where he belongs. Assuming the return of the DH, Alonso can DH with Smith at first. As if this wasn’t good enough, the Mets have an additional $20.25 million to allocate towards their holes at catcher, third, center, andthe pitching staff.
Every way you look at this, Cano testing positive is good news for the Mets, and that’s even before you account for any regression you should’ve expected from the now 38 year old. If this invites a buy out, this could make the situation even better. With one incredibly poor decision by Cano, the Mets defense has been substantially improved, and they have enough resources to sign up to two additional impact players they may not have been otherwise able to sign. That’s why Cano’s positive test is great news for the Mets.page top
KRIS BRYANT, YU DARVISH SHOULD BE PART OF METS-CUBS BLOCKBUSTER For some reason, despite making the postseason last year and in five of the last six seasons, the Chicago Cubs are going to tear it down. This couldn’t come at a better time for the Mets. If you tick off the Mets needs this offseason, two which jump right off the page when looking at the Cubs is starter and third base. At third is former NL MVP KRIS BRYANT. To be
fair, when looking at Bryant, there are apparently three versions ofhim.
The first is the MVP level player we saw his first three seasons. Next came the All-Star level player he was the subsequent two. Finally, we have the disaster he was in 2020. In 2020, he only hit .206/.293/.351. That drop off from a 132 OPS+ to a 73 was precipitous and completely unexpected. Looking at hisBASEBALL SAVANT
page, the biggest issue was a huge story in his barrel %. If a team can fix that, they’ll get a star. At a minimum, Bryant remains a good third baseman by OAA making him seemingly worth a risk. Notably, he’s more than just a third baseman playing all the defensive corner positions. In that vein, he’s really a right-handedJEFF MCNEIL
with
arguably more upside. In addition to pursuing Bryant, the Mets should also show heavy interest in YU DARVISH.
While TREVOR BAUER
got all
the attention and the Cy Young, Darvish arguably had the better season leading the league in FIP. Based on MLB TRADE RUMOR projections, Darvish will also cost at least $10 million less perseason than Bauer.
That’s an important consideration when you realize that even with Bauer’s complete outlier career year against inferior competition, Darvish has had the better career with a 125 ERA+ and 3.43 FIP to Bauer’s 113 ERA+ and 3.85 FIP. In Darvish, you’re not only getting the better pitcher, but the Mets would also have $10+ million free to add other players. That includes taking on Bryant or other players in a trade or signing a top end reliever like BRAD HAND.
Bryant and Darvish are not the only Cubs who could help the Mets. Since his MLB debut in 2016, WILLSON CONTRERASranks
third among MLB catchers in wRC+ and seventh in fWAR.IAN HAPP
is a versatile player who plays a good center field and has a career115 OPS+.
Accidental MVP vote getter RYAN TEPERAstruck
out 13.5 per nine last year, and he has a 119 ERA+. If the Mets really want to get something done with the Cubs, they could even entertain JASON HEYWARD. Yes,
he has an awful contract, but he’s still a productive player, and he’s one who worked well with Mets Hitting Coach CHILI DAVIS. He
also remains a good defensive outfielder. Of note with Heyward, the ability/willingness to eat that contract is a game changer. Remember, the Dodgers current run was jump started by their willingness to take on CARL CRAWFORD‘s
contract in that blockbuster where the Red Sox mostly looked to dumpsalaries.
In that trade, the Dodgers didn’t send much back to the Red Sox. Effectively speaking, the Dodgers reduced prospect and player cost by taking on the bad contracts. With Steve Cohen at the helm, the Mets are in that same exact situation. Overall, the Mets have the financial ability and the need for players like Bryant and Darvish to make a blockbuster with the Cubs worth consideration. If you think about it, with one bold and daring trade, the Mets could fulfill nearly all of their offseason needs and transform this team from the last place team Brodie Van Wagenen and Jeff Wilpon left behind to a true World Series contender.page top
