Here’s a list of the few moves made by the Mets in 2019 when they were owned by the Stupid Cheap Wilpons as summarized by MLB Trade Rumors.
Wow that’s week. A catcher, some relief pitching. Lame. Stupid. Cheap.
Fortunately, Uncle Steve is here and he is SO SO RICH. Let’s see how we’re doing (as summarized by MLB.com)
Dec. 15: Signed C James McCann on 4-year deal
Niiiiice. Yeah!!!! 40,6 million! Open that wallet baybee! What else?
Dec. 21: Signed RHP Jerad Eickhoff, LHP Tom Windle and INF Wilfredo Tovar to Minor League contracts
Ummm OK cool….what else
Dec. 11: Agreed with LHP Jerry Blevins on Minors deal
Ummm yeah organizational depth sure um…anything else?
Dec. 10: Busy during Rule 5 Draft
Um…that sounds like some Wilponian spin….what else
Dec. 22: Came to terms with RHP Noah Syndergaard
Some might say that’s just like signing a #2 starter. But it doesn’t make the team better than 2019, it just makes it the same but older and more injured.
Dec. 2: Agreed to terms with LHP Steven Matz, RHP Jacob Barnes and OF Guillermo Heredia; non-tendered LHP Chasen Shreve, RHP Paul Sewald, RHP Ariel Jurado and RHP Nick Tropeano
You are losing me.
Dec. 1: Agreed to terms on a two-year contract with RHP Trevor May
Really?
Nov. 20: Signed RHP Sam McWilliams to a one-year, $750,000 contract
OK look if you’re going to waste my time it’s time to wrap up this post. I thought we had a big open wallet and we were getting all the free agents. This is a joke. We missed an 8 team playoff and all we’ve done is get a catcher. Call em when you’re serious Steve.
