A white flashes at Point72 Capital. Suddenly, a man appears.
He speaks! In your own paltry, limited way. You have no *idea* how far you still have to go. But instead of using the last year to change and to grow, you have squandered it.
The man calls himself Q, and he offers the Mets a way forward, if only HE can run the organization.
I offer my services as President of Baseball Operations. I know that you’re probably asking yourself, “Why would a brilliant, handsome, dashingly omnipotent being like Q want to run a baseball team?” I am here to show you there are ways forward.
Q snaps his fingers and suddenly it is last week. Q answers the phone and signs Noah Syndergaard to a one year deal.
See Steve, that wasn’t so hard. If only you had hired someone to answer Noah Syndergaard’s phone calls last week, he might still be here.
Steve erupts! “Q, even if you have been able to bring me back in time somehow, surely you must realize that any alteration in this timeline will have a profound impact on the future.”
That’s the idea Steve. I could have a tremendous impact on your future. If only someone had answered the phone, imagine what we could have accomplished. Now, do you want me to run your baseball team or not….
Steve will have none of this! He dismisses Q. With a flash of light Q is gone. And another wasted season goes by.
Will Q become head of baseball operations? No.
