Whitewater Region Councillor Neil Nicholson said residents have talked to him about underlit intersections. People are mean,” narrative. Feb. 7: The Mets are in agreement on a contract with free agent outfielder Albert Almora Jr., pending a physical, report Ken Rosenthal and Andy McCullough of the Athletic (Twitter link). They didn’t need to make that trade though as I believe Gimenez would have developed into a Fernando Vina type hitter with good glove for Short with Mauricio waiting in the wings.. Not getting Springer was the bigger disappointment, not so much Bauer. Just put in Almora late in the game for defense. I do however have to disagree with some of the stuff you said. JBJ wanted a mutli year deal and you just don’t so those for a 31 year old fourth outfielder. @JoeBrady The tax rate on the rich in Ike’s 1950s was 91%, with an effective rate of 55% after deductions. Good guy, but at this point, a stretch to call him your 4th outfielder. As in real life, it’s more about overcoming obstacles and disappointments than winning. He’s never had a good bat. He probably could be had though. It’s Win now time. Alderson: Mets lacking 'defensive geniuses', Almora, Mets finalize 1-year, $1.25M contract, Mets reportedly reach deal with OF Almora, Cubs make Schwarber a free agent, tender Bryant. I agree – may as well have kept Marisnik. LOL Mets who need a starting CF. Marin has a ton of trade value, being a top 5 pick is very valuable especially if everyone around the league agrees with his placement in the draft. Cheers. I remember Albert was leading the NL in hitting and then Joe started benching him. The uncertainty of the DH screwed up that thought process. This is one reason you are not a GM. As greedy as Boras can be, he does what his clients want him to do. Haven’t you noticed the overwhelming agreement that that was an excellent trade for the Mets by not just Mets fans, Talk all you want, I still rather be the big bad billionaire. I still believe Marisnick is the player that makes the most sense in CF for the Mets, Agree. All the money they saved with Bauer will be filtered through extensions. If your real name is Rod Cannon, I’m jealous. The same could be said about Albert Almora. You don’t get a guy who can’t hit and isn’t a stellar OFer as anything except the last guy on the bench (or stashed in AAA if you’re serious about contending, but this is a major league deal,). Advanced defensive metrics are divided on the extent of Almora’s impact with the glove, but they all agree he’s at least a solid center fielder. Bichette is untouchable, the only player in the league that you can justify asking for Bichette is trout. He has some value, but he’s not going to net a starting position player without some additional pieces. The Houston Astros received a positive update on left-hander Framber Valdez on the same day Forrest Whitley had season-ending surgery on his right elbow. Too bad Brett gardner is not a RH hitter I think he’d be one of the best defensive of ‘ers on the Mets. Haven’t you noticed the overwhelming agreement that that was an excellent trade for the Mets by not just Mets fans, but also baseball writers and on-air baseball commentators too. Thanks Albert for that brilliant tag up at 1st, all the highlight reels, you’re fearlessness of the Ivy and what was underneath, and most importantly robbing Yadier of that bomb he hit and leaving him with that expression! Help me to understand your unique wisdom. Jesus, what happened to the poor kid? Adding a defensive replacement doesn’t discount the Mets in the NL East. I don’t think Pillar can play CF anymore though. Cohen is willing to spend, and he will. He checks these boxes and this will be a cheap deal. Bragging to randos on the internet about how little taxes you (allegedly) pay again? Look, I’m a Mets fan that respect the Phils and think everything is better in the division when the Phils and Mets are competitive. Lindor isnt walking. McCann is now the only longterm piece and CBT pressure is mounting. In any case, over the next three years alone Giminez will only need to give Cleveland 3 wins to equal Lindor’s surplus value in 2021, given how low Giminez’s salary will be in 2021, 2022, and 2023. About a week ago I posted that the Mets’ signing of Aaron Loup was a good move. I guess that was enough to peak the Angels’ interest. Not a Mets fan, but if you don’t think adding McCann, Stroman, May, Lindor, Carrasco, and Lucchesi, is not going to help the Mets in 2021, then you know absolutely nothing about baseball. Guys like Mallex Smith, Villar and Almora are vying for the 4th and 5th outfield/26th man roster spot. It is rare but Boras clients do sign extensions (Strasburg’s original deal being one). Valdez is expected to continue his rehab at the team's … I doubt it. Albert Almora Jr. hit a foul ball into the stands that hit a child. Prosperity for select white people. Further if there is a work stoppage in 2022 and maybe a DH afterwards it puts Springer at the point where he’s not really a good CF anymore and the team has the same void up the middle. Almora yelled something twice in seeming agony and then crouched to the ground. He was in right. If there is no DH, then I like this move. Albert Almora Jr. hit a foul ball into the stands that hit a child. Unfortunately, that drop-off at the plate continued, as he stumbled to a .236/.271/.381 line over 363 plate appearances in 2019. 8/10 NYA AT TOR, In the top of the 4th inning, the last pitch to Geo Urshela has been ruled a ball, changing Urshela's result to a walk instead of a hit by pitch. They are a contender, but might be waisting another year of de Grom. They didn’t get one. Reply. It will take a bounceback and improvement with the bat for him to ever be a starter. And our pitchers are good enough to where our defense won’t affect them enough for us to lose. Lindor deal is nice but Mets didn’t need a SS – they needed a great catcher and CF and they didn’t get either. Waiting and negotiating with Realmuto would have held up the Mets off season. I glad he dead, too. You have to be definitive and hyperbolic in your outrage. Take a chance on a guy like rosenthal or jeffress for depth, and then find another SP. Heresies is a good glove as well. Believe Cohen said they’ll be competive every year and they will build towards a championship team for 3-5 years down the road. Poor defense in LF & CF will lose games. When a hitter sucks at hitting, it’s logical to not swing…and not have an ego. ================================================= We need pitching now. Just look at who Cohen brought back, and the other FO fiascos. Beginning of the offseason, Mets fans were all over realmuto, Springer and Bauer all signing with their team… instead its McCann and Almora lmao… ok now I do have to give the Mets credit for Lindor and Carrasco… but free agency has been a huge bust. [Or you may consider a book series that transitions to TV]. And while I am a big fan of JBJ, he’s not a good fit for the NYMs, as currently constructed. Hope for DH in NL for Nimmo, JD or Alonso. So Springer’s value to the Mets was diluted by pushing one of them to the bench and they would still lose a draft pick. Groshans is the only top 100 prospect in your ridiculous proposal, there is not 3 like you lie about, the Brewers just got Kolten Wong, they aren’t rebuilding like this trade suggests. @Bochy’s Stfu, fool. I'd recommend that he just 'go play'. Nolan Arenado trade makes that case. Being condescending does not make you right and me wrong. yeah it seems Almora is just filler until someone else who is better becomes available! –Just one more data point putting the lie to the idea that because a guy makes a lot of money at a hedge fund, he’s preternaturally intelligent. The Mets need an everyday outfielder since they will no doubt lose Conforto after the season – Boras won’t let him sign an extension and based on what we have seen of Cohen and Alderson they won’t spend what they need to in order to resign him. They didn’t get one. Remember like we practiced. He said he wanted to win within five years – guess he intends to start trying in five years. A change of scenery will do him good. Albert Almora not just a leader but a perfect team guy NY needs that from a guy looking in After Cepeda & Wright injuries has out there leaders on the bench Albert that type of leader but his bat got to help. The Cubs’ Albert Almora Jr. was visibly emotional after a foul ball he hit on Wednesday struck a young girl in the stands. If Bradley comes anywhere near what he’s asking for, I think it’s a good alternative to take. (Soto, Acuna, etc..). And, BTW, look at unemployment from 1980 to 1988 if you don’t think tax cuts don’t create jobs. Part of that is contract-related. You mean his below average footspeed? why pay a lot of money for someone who gets hurt. It is expected to be a major league, incentive-laden deal for the Magnus Sports client, hears Jon Heyman of MLB Network (via Twitter). =========================================================== Just sayin’. That was a foolish mistake by Alderson, who also seems chronically unable to understand that their is also a BACK half to the rotation. You do the best you can and live to see another day. But IIRC, the NYMs best prospect is a SS. No hate, but you don’t get it. Not as concerned about so many lefties – that’s what we had with Cano. He shifted to win now moves with Lindor, but didn’t follow through strongly with Bauer or Springer. This should have been a minor league signing. Now sign Walker or Odorizzi. Between 2016-17, Almora was roughly a league average hitter. I agree on some points – definitely not disappointed on the Bauer front – he is way over priced.
