If you only have a few bucks to spare, consider donating to @TheRealSmith2_‘s charity rather than buying his jersey (which is just giving money to MLB).

Or do both! But support #BBG.
Here is the donate link baseballgenerations.com/bbg-foundation
Price of one Dom Smith jersey, $119.

Thank you @TheRealSmith2_. We are with you. #BlackLivesMatter Image

Sorry to be that optimist, but haven't we all watched enough baseball by now to know that anything can happen? This Mets team has serious talent on it. The story at the end of the season could be anything.

1/3
In one future, the Mets lose six in a row and Alonso gets injured, they spiral out of contention, Buck gets fired, it's a disappointment.

In another future, Scherzer and Verlander right the ship (as we expected!) and the deep Mets lineup does enough until Alonso gets back.

2/3
A lot of teams have looked dead in early June. But with 99 games left, the Mets don't need to be great in a weak NL East (beating up on the negative run-differential Nats, Marlins, Phils) to play .550 ball from here on out. The talent is here.

3/3

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Giacometti's "Pointing Man" is the most famous work in Steve Cohen's collection, but Hirst's "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" is the best one. Image
By calling his sculpture “The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living,” Hirst is challenging us to comprehend death. He’s telling us we can’t fathom “death,” even though we are face-to-face with a dead animal. blog.sevenponds.com/soulful-expres…
The use of a shark is also interesting, as we come face-to-face with the most notorious killing machine on our planet. And even though it is harmless we gaze upon it and can't help a primal feeling of imminent, non-philosophical danger.

Do you do it if it costs Alvarez, Mauricio, Drew Smith and a low level prospect, plus take on half of what’s owed to Patrick Corbin?
Lots of replies. Let’s vote.
This is awesome bc usually when I propose a trade there are fans from both sides yelling at me. This time it's just all Mets fans saying yes. Wonder what #Natitude thinks.

I came out of retirement to look at the historical comps for a potential Juan Soto trade. #Mets #LGM #Soto
goodfundies.com/what-might-it-…
"Cabrera and Willis brought two consensus Top Ten prospects, plus other parts. Betts brought much less, two Top ~40 prospects and another piece, because he was attached to Price’s $92 million price tag."
A really great insight--- who even HAS the prospects to deal in such a trade?

Struggling to remember here: who are the best players traded in MLB in the last twenty years? The biggest talents at the youngest age with AT LEAST a full year of control remaining. Bonus points if they are pre-FA contract.
A-Rod and Stanton both had massive contracts. Scherzer was impending FA. Sabathia too. Machado too. Johan too.

I think the answer is Miguel Cabrera? Or Francisco Lindor? Lesser guys like Josh Donaldson?
The best answers so far: Miguel Cabrera, Trea Turner, Mookie Betts, Pedro Martinez, Francisco Lindor.

Yelich was suggested too but he wasn't a STAR at that point.

People keep blowing up my mentions because I think Pete Alonso has a near-zero chance of being a Hall of Famer. Sorry guys, it's true. But it's not an insult! I love Pete and he's great. But he's 110th among active players in WAR.
Pete's 27. If you limit it to active players 28 in their age 28 and younger seasons, he's 77th in WAR.

This is in a group with Tommy Edman, Willy Adams, Salvador Perez and Nick Castellanos. He's closer to Jonathan Villar (9.3) than Brandon Nimmo (12.5).
Alonso's 126 home runs so far through his age 27 season are fewer than Matt Olson (142), Jonathan Schoop (133) or Eric Hosmer (127), to say nothing of Anthony Rizzo (166), Freddie Freeman (166) or Trout (285).
