- Hi Anthony, have there been way more transactions than usual for late May? Seems so to me.
Anthony Franco
- All minor stuff but yeah, I think so. This week in particular has been really busy with a bunch of small moves
- Granted, Casey Lawrence and Cooper Hummel account for 80% of them

- What would it take for the Mets to get Brent Suter from the Reds?
Anthony Franco
- Reds are still hanging around so this won't happen in the next couple weeks but yeah, he seems like a perfectly viable Mets target who'd only require a fringe top 30-35 guy in the system
Belli bombs for life
- Yesterday in your Yankees outfielders article, you said Bellinger is virtually guaranteed to opt out after this year. Why? His production is right around where it was for his last season in Chicago. His defensive ratings have gone up, to be fair. But do you think he'll match/exceed the $28.5M he's making next year on a multi-year deal? Why not risk staying in the ballpark made for his swing and enjoy the high AAV for one more year?
