Big Market Mets acquire 1B-OF Billy McKinney

It’s great that the Wilpons are gone.  In the old days, Sandy Alderson would have had to bring in some fringe major leaguer just so the Mets could field a team.  But under this new billionaire owner, the Mets have tons of organizational depth and the resources to go out and get big time players when necessary!  Thanks Steve!

Media Goon is outside Modell’s waiting for them to open so he can het a McKinney jersey.

METS ACQUIRE OF BILLY MCKINNEY FROM MILWAUKEE

FLUSHING, N.Y., May 25, 2021 – The New York Mets today announced they have acquired outfielder Billy McKinney from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for minor league left-handed pitcher Pedro Quintana. RHP Jordan Yamamoto has been transferred to the 60-Day IL to make room on the 40-man roster.

 

McKinney has appeared in 40 games for the Brewers this season and is batting .207/.260/.359 with nine runs, three doubles, a triple, three home runs, six RBI and a stolen base. He has played 20 games in the outfield and nine games at first base this season.

 

In 84 games as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays in 2019, the Dallas, TX native collected 12 home runs, 14 doubles and 28 RBI.

 

The 26-year-old was originally drafted in the first round (24th overall) by the Oakland Athletics in the 2013 First-Year Player Draft. He has appeared in parts of four seasons with the New York Yankees (2018), Blue Jays (2019-2020) and the Brewers (2021). He is a career .226/.285/.422 hitter with 61 runs scored, 24 doubles, two triples, 21 home runs and 47 RBI in 164 major league games.

 

Quintana, 17, was signed by the Mets as a non-drafted free agent on January 15, 2021.

When the WIlpons are Gone Mets Game Notes for May 25

I’m hearing a lot of excuses.  Don’t wanna hear it.  Spend money, get players.

Prior to tonight’s game, the Mets announced the following transactions…RHP Jacob deGrom was reinstated from the 10-Day IL (right side tightness)…RHP Jordan Yamamoto was placed on the 10-Day IL, retroactive to May 24, with right shoulder soreness…INF Jake Hager was claimed by the Milwaukee Brewers and people are acting like they are upset about that but they really aren’t.

The Mets will rush JDG back tonight but he’s totally fine. What could go wrong? Did you see him throw 102 last week?

James McCann played his first career game at first base last night…It was his 635th career game in the major leagues…He never appeared at first base in 359 career minor league games but the WIlpons are stupid and cheap and we don’t have enough players…He appeared in the infield only once in his professional career, playing third base on May 14, 2014 in a game with Toledo against Syracuse.

It is May 25th.  Pete Alonso has six home runs.

Dom Smith will play LF because he overslept once and there was a Hodges Moment.

Stupid Cheap Cohens playing McCann at 1B Mets Game Notes for April 24

What kind of hell is this that we finally got rid of Vulgar Pete and Dom still isn’t allowed to play 1B?

The Stupid Cheap Cohens are playing James McCann at 1B?  Get some players in here rich guy.

Dominic Smith is 9-14 (.643) with six RBI and two walks (both intentional) with runners in scoring position since May 5…Only one player in the majors, Akil Baddoo (.727), has a higher OBP than Smith’s .688 mark in RISP situations since May 5…His .643 average with RISP in that span tops in the majors..Smith is batting .275/.359/.319 with eight runs, three doubles, seven RBI and eight walks in 20 games this month…This compares to a .222/.340/.333 slash line with four extra-base hits in 20 games in April.  That said, we still aren’t going to let him near 1B.

Tomorrow, the Mets will see if they can further injure deGrom by having him start after letting him throw 102 to minor leaguers after letting him pitch twice with apparent injuries after letting him throw 100+ in the spring,

DeGrom’s last start came against the Diamondbacks on May 9 at Citi Field…The righty allowed one earned run on one hit in 5.0 innings pitched with three walks and six strikeouts…Prior to the sixth inning, deGrom left the ballgame due to right side tightness which is weird, right?
