NL Notes: Cespedes, deGrom, Arenado, Marlins, Barrett

By Jeff Todd | February 15, 2019 at 10:24pm CDT

Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes provided an update on his efforts to return from surgeries to both heels. As Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News writes, Cespedes expressed confidence that he will be able to make it back to the MLB field, but says it’s unlikely to occur before the middle of the coming season. Cespedes does say that he’s now pain-free, which seems promising, though it remains to be seen how things will progress once his rehab is able to ramp up toward full speed.

  • In other recent Mets news, ace Jacob deGrom discussed his contract situation with reporters including Tim Healey of Newsday. Generally, deGrom reiterated what is already known to be the case: he expects to discuss an extension in the coming weeks but has yet to receive an offer and won’t negotiate past the start of the season. The star righty largely demurred when asked about the oft-floated concept that he might operate under self-imposed workload limitations if he doesn’t have a long-term deal, though he did not rule out such an approach.
  • Speaking of possible blockbuster extensions, Rockies star third baseman Nolan Arenado will not follow deGrom’s lead in placing timing restrictions on his talks with the club, as MLB.com’s Thomas Harding reports. Arenado said he does expect there to be a “silent deadline” once “serious games start,” though generally it sounds as if he’s open to chat just about any time. It certainly seems as if there are plenty of good vibes between player and team, though hammering out an appropriate contract will still come with challenges. Arenado, 27, already agreed to a record-setting $26MM salary for the 2019 campaign, after which he’ll hit the open market.
  • While the Marlins were said to have some interest in Carlos Gonzalez, it seems the organization doesn’t intend to make any further additions at the outset of camp. MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro reports that the club presently intends to give a chance to Peter O’Brien to stake out a claim to time in right field. That means that Brian Anderson is shifting back to third base, leaving the club with a rather unexpected combination of Neil Walker and Martin Prado slated to share the action at first bse (and other areas in the infield). President of baseball operations Michael Hill says the team will still keep an eye on market opportunities, but is “extremely happy” with the “current group of players.”
  • Nationals reliever Aaron Barrett has been through a gauntlet of terrible arm injuries, but he’s still plugging away at a comeback effort. As Mark Zuckerman of MASNsports.com writes, the 31-year-old righty is showing some signs of real potential while enjoying an opportunity to pitch in MLB camp, though he has a ways to go before he’ll truly be considered for a big league opportunity. Barrett once featured intriguing swing-and-miss stuff, but has made only twenty low-A appearances over the past three seasons.

      Why is it “gravy” if the Mets get anything out of Ces? If I was a met fan I’d be incredibly upset by the lack of time he has been on the field with his massive contract, that could be spent elsewhere for a much better use then a guy whose constantly hurt.

          There weren’t one or two signs of injuries with Ces…there was a trail so abundant that an elephant could eat.

          Was it their medical staff’s incompetency which has been well documented?

          Or was it part of the Wilpon M.O.? You know sign a player to a big contact even though there is a likelihood of prolonged injuries. Then insure the deal so that when payday happens Mutt and Jeff can collect the refund WITHOUT reinvesting a dime back in the team.

          BTW-Wagon Wheel is already growing discouraged that despite his contract providing for full autonomy over roster and budgets, after the stupid Cano deal Mutt pulled the plug on his ATM card by draining the funds.

          Especially when, apparently, not one Mets’ coach, trainer, team mate, manager, etc new anything about it. This is a guy that ONLY plays when there is a spotlight to stand in. He showboats, rarely hustles, is a poor outfielder (I don’t care what stats show because I watch 130 Mets’ games a year), does not cooperate with trainers (he get dehydrated because he won’t drink anything during games), goes golfing when he’s hurt, misses team mandated deadlines…basically does what he wants, when he wants. He is about the polar opposite of David Wright.

          When you sign a player to a big contract you get him with extensive tests. In this case the dopes in a Flushing had previous experience with him. When they went on the wild goose chase that he didn’t drink enough water true baseball fans should have pulled the plug in this laughable team.

          That they didn’t actually find the problem until last year is pathetic.

    Michael Hill says he’s “extremely happy” with the roster, and that the fans should give the team a chance, but then unveils a roster consisting of 1B (lol) Neil Walker and Martin Prado, Peter O’Brien in RF, and absolutely zero depth. I get they are rebuilding, but they aren’t even trying to be competitive.

      When you have the Phillies, Nationals, and Mets making win-now moves, and the Braves with their large pool of young talent, there’s really no reason to even try. I do think they should have been signing the guys like Parra to minor league deals though.

        If there is really no reason for them to try, what reason is there for anyone to pay money to watch them play? For that matter, what reason is there for them to even be in the league anymore?

        I understand rebuilding, but it doesn’t take that much to field a somewhat competitive team. A AAA team should not be satisfied with Peter O’Brien in RF and a Neil Walker/Martin Prado combo at first base.

    Kind of slanted language about Barrette here, no? “Barrett once featured intriguing swing-and-miss stuff, but has made only twenty low-A appearances over the past three seasons.” Yes, this statement is accurate, however, it makes it seem as if he has somehow struggled to make those 20 appearances over a three year period. That he was unable to play for two entire seasons, and then excelled at low-A in his first taste of competitive action in almost 1,000 days seems to tell a different story.

    Your bar has to be set extremely low to say that you are “extremely happy” with the “current group of players” on the Marlins roster. That group will be lucky to surpass 62 wins. None of their starting OF would start on any other team. Only one of their starting pitchers broke 4 ERA and he was at 3.98 with a 4.17 FIP which doesn’t point to a great 2019.

    Regarding Cespedes, I’m no doctor but in the recent photos of him, he’s looks significantly overweight (not in musculature) and I have to believe putting additional weight on surgically repaired heels would be a hinderance to any rehab timeline and increase the probability of potential secondary injuries during the process. The Mets should not count on Cespedes.

    Aaron Barrett has suffered such terrible injuries. He may be a big long-shot to make it all the way back, but you have to pull for him.

    I believe deGrom is being paid $17 million this year to pitch. His uniform says Mets and they are paying him. How in the world can he justify “limiting” his innings? And he is signed for 2020. Once again the fans suffer for this struggle between owners and players. How about the two sides meet and figure this out without all the media conjecture back and forth? It is ruining the game.

    My god, Michael Hill might die from Kool-Aid poisoning if he’s not careful. The only way anyone could be “extremely happy” with the Marlins current group of players would be if (1) the goal is to secure the #1 overall pick in the 2020 draft, or (2) they work for another team in the NL East.
