That Cuddyer signing is looking worse and worse for the Mets. He can’t stay healthy, and they gave up a 1st round pick.

He is confirming every Met fans’ concern about him…older, slower, and cost a 1st rounder as the last kick in the nuts.

I was going to say the same thing.. Lost the 14th overall pick to sign old man Cuddyer.. They could have nabbed Richie Martin who would have solved their SS problems in a year or 2 making Rosario available as trade bait.. They could also have gone after Aiken or Kaprielian which would have made one of their current starters available to trade.. Especially Kaprielian, seeing as how most scouts are said to be considering him the closest to being mlb ready in the draft.. The Cuddyer signing alone should be grounds for firing Alderson..

Grounds for firing Alderson? That’s a bit of an overreaction.

Can someone explain to me why they never called Alex Castellanos up? He can play 2nd, 3rd, and corner OF. I know it’s Las Vegas, but he was slashing .314/.381/.614/.996 with 16 HR in 79 games. But there was never even a whisper of him coming up and he just left for Japan a few days ago. Seems weird that they never called him up for a week here or there.

Why not go and get Matsui, he is still playing and hitting in the nyc rec league! How can that be worse that what we have now? I dont even watch anymore. I live with a Yankee fan.

Braves could do Joey Terdoslavich, Eury Perez, Chris Johnson and Jonny Gomes for Jon Niese and Dominic Smith.

For a team this close to a playoff spot they sure are flawed. The obvious need is for at least 2 bats which they won’t get as well as bench help (which could come by bumping guys down the depth chart if we bring in real bats) and we need more reliable arms in the bullpen.
Since the team is enamored with their prospects and refuses to add salary (despite the fact they never have to pay David My Career Is Over Wright). Really frustrating rooting for this team right now.
