NEWS: The Mets MAY PURSUE Japanese star Shohei Otani. Now ask yourself, is that gonna happen? We all know it isn’t. Enjoy all the click bait out there and the Mets’ fake “interest.” Been there, done that, will be happy to be wrong but I am not.
BEST HEADLINE: The Mets are planning for a future without David Wright at 3B. Holy f*ck Mets – you should have made this plan three years ago. I don’t even want to let you know who the solution was because everyone will get mad at me for saying his name. THAT’S ON YOU SANDY.
NOT LINKING: The Mets are considering giving Jacob deGrom a contract extension. Why this makes NOT LINKING is: what else do you need to know? Sure the article can speculate years and dollars but only Sandy knows…so why bother. All you need is the headline. That’s the beauty of NOT LINKING.
NOT LINKING: You know I love COULD articles. The newspaper has The Mets COULD have inside advantage on key free agents. Please stop with the bullshit articles. The Mets COULD start a lunar mission.
SLACKISH REACTION: You may see the line from Mickey that he plans to learn to hate the Yankees. When Josh Lewin came over to the Mets I posted some good natured tips (which Josh acknowledged he saw…I love Josh) and one of which was to not try to hard acting like he was some super Mets fan. Mickey seems very likable, but at the presser I thought he was trying a little too hard trying to let us know he had studied Mets history….and this Yankee thing feels like a guy trying to say the right thing.
No harm, no foul, but you don’t need to hate the Yankees Mick. Just take care of business and all that Yankee noise takes care of itself. I’m more worried about you destroying the sport of baseball with bullpenning.
