This is a real thing!
I am hoping we can trade Lindor (you know , the guy that thumbs downed Mets fans but you like him now because he had a good season even though he clearly doesn’t like YOU) – trade Lindor for nobody, or maybe include him in the Ohtani deal. Correa can play SS. When Steve delivers you Ohtani you won’t miss Lindor, believe me.
Anyway, McCann for “I dunno, give us someone this summer when the intern finds the paperwork and asks if we need to do anything about it” is a fascinating deal.
McCann will hit 25 HRs in Baltimore.
UPDATE: I am told that through the magic of accounting and tax stuff, this somehow saves the Mets $8,000,000. So I guess everyone wins here? Except whatever needed that tax money. There goes the federal funding to fix the interstates. Oh well.
