They willingly admitted they stole money from the team and MLB doesn't care.

They say Cespedes is lying about his injuries in order so it looks like he's the bad guy for making it up, not the Wilpons for failing to address his injury properly, and not treating the player with the care they deserve. Instead the activate him and force him to play through injury but MLB doesn't care.

4 days ago. Cespedes activated from DL. Cespedes says "I need heel surgery or else I will never be 100%. It will take 8-10 months". They knew about this when they traded for him in 2015, and knew it got worse in June of this year, while rehabbing (Ricco, one of the interim GMs said he has a "chronic heel issue" that needs addressing).

3 days ago. A Mets FO member (probably a Wilpon) says to a mets reporter that Cespedes is exaggerating his injury. He does this to turn fans against Cespedes. (Why else would you say this as a Mets FO person?)

2 days ago. Cespedes has seen literally 4 doctors by now about this condition, but since being activated, no one from the Mets FO has publically spoken about it. They are hiding.

Today. Cespedes goes on the DL and will need 2 surgeries (one per heel). He will miss at least 8-10 months, possibly more.
The Mets GM goes on note saying the Cespedes contract is insured but "When asked if the Mets have the ability to reinvest the money saved into player payroll, John Ricco said the team has not yet revised its baseball operations plan."

For reference, the Mets recoup 75 percent of David Wright's contract via insurance. Jeff Wilpon said in January that he considers Wright's entire contract part of the payroll, and so the team does not reinvest money saved via insurance into baseball operations.

THE WILPONS. FUCKING. INTERFERE. IN. EVERYTHING.

THEY. ONLY. DO. THINGS. TO. LOOK. GOOD.

THEY. DO. NOT. CARE. ABOUT. THE. TEAM. AT. ALL.

MLB. NEEDS. TO. FUCKING. DO SOMETHING.

the thing I am most worried about, re: trading deGrom, is that it's going to be Jeff and Fred in charge of it, not the GMs, and not the analytics people (it was reported the Analytics team, which one of the new 3-headed GMs is a part of, that they advised to not sign Jason Vargas, but someone "above them", gee I wonder who, overruled them, and had them sign Vargas anyway).

And with that being the case, they're not going to trade in order to get the best player, or the most fitting return, or if they should trade at all (I still dont think they should cuz theres not a prospect package out there worth his value... and anyone you get wont be anything close to a guarantee like he is... but I'm willing to listen and consider).

Their decisions will be based on what makes them LOOK BEST. Or what makes them the most money. Or whatever makes the Yankees look worse. Or something along those lines. They do not, have not, and will never act in the best interest of the team/putting the best team on their field. time and time again its only in the interest of their ego.and even when its trying to look good, theyre so incompetent they look bad anyway.

also its now been 4 nights since cespedes says he needs surgery, and as FD noted he was put on the DL today, and no one from the mets FO has made any comments. it takes 2 days to get results from an MRI according to the wilpons.

no one wants to take any accountability in this dumpster fire.

The Orioles got waaaaay more for a closer rental than what the Mets did. And Familia has more value than Britton since he wasn't injured half the year. It's obviously because the O's took on more money, but the Yankees gave up their #9 prospect and 2 very good prospects for a rental closer who missed HALF THE YEAR. Thats a good return for a rental. Thats what you SHOULD get for an elite closing rental. The Mets got ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but cash relief and garbage prospects for Familia , who did NOT miss half the year.

The Mets need to be dragged so fucking hard for this. This kind of shit is the thing that can completely destroy you for years to come. How do you not go get the best prospects with the best reliever on the market (I mean, Britton better prob, but not considering his injury).

I really implore you all to go back to that twitter link I posted and look at the responses. Its really jarring, upsetting, and sad to see so many Mets fans, who normally are stupidly loyal to a fault, just abandoning hope. Not deserting their fandom. Just deciding to not be as emotionally invested anymore, because the pain of suffering through all these years is doing too much damage and might not be worth the payoff... and acknowledging the Wilpons will never sell, nor ever be forced to sell.

My friends, we are past Anger (mostly) and into Acceptance.

Weird play in the mets game today. Whatever the rule actually is, I don't think it was handled properly.
Bases loaded 2 outs for Padres. RBI single scores Padre on 3rd. runner on 2nd comes around to try to score, is forced out at home. during the process of the throw/tag, the runner who went first to second, starts running from 2nd to 3rd but slows down when he sees the out call. Even though there were now 3 outs, the catcher throws to 3rd and tags the runner.

That 2nd run at home is challenged and overturned, properly so. So 2 runs in.
But the runner who went first to third and slowed down after the out, was ruled out. Isn't this weird? And potentially dangerous? If the play is "dead" by 3rd out, shouldnt umpires use their judgement to say "no he should go back to second. He may not have gone to third, and definitely wouldnt have slowed down and allowed himself to be tagged". It seems ridiculous to me that you can get called out because of decisions made becuase the umpire called a 3rd out, and players gave up thinking the inning was over. What are y'all thoughts?

On that note, don't you also think umpires should be micced, a la football, so they can explain to what was likely literally everyone in the crowd, that had no idea what was going on without a TV announcer? And this way the umpires can explain the justification in calling the runner out vs putting him back on 2nd?

it was obvious he was going to go back on the DL literally the day he came off, when he said "I need surgery Im not 100%", it just became official today. he will likely miss some of 2019.

it wasn't a re-aggravation or anything. it was just completely obvious he shouldn't have come off.
the reason he came off is the wilpons are incompetent and thought they'd generate more tv viewership/hype/etc if he did.

A thread and a seies of posts that sums up lots of mets fans current and future state. I implore you to read it and the comments.

I'm not quite at this point... but I'm close. https://twitter.com/EricBien/status/1021427297281290240?s=19

A lot of the replies resonate pretty hard too.

Basically its complete hopelessness. True hopelessness. Resignation to the fact the wilpons, the most toxic poisonous garbage bags in ownership, and some of the most garbage people period, will own this team forever (family business) and as long as they do, the team will be resigned to being run by fucking assholes who are insistent onto truly running the team as poorly as possible. They're more than simply bad owners. They're some of the most incompetent people there are, they're fucking stupid, they lie to the fans, and they hide from the media because they either own most of it or the media can lose their jobs if they touch them.

They're basically baseball trump but worst since most of the media ignores them and blames the GM or manager instead.

Look at what they have driven all these fans too
Some of the most passionate and dedicated fans there are. Driven to giving up. And they don't say theyll stop following the team which they wont cuz they're fans. But basically driven to stop living and dying with the team like we used to. So no more emotional highs or lows (almost entirely lows)

mets lose with degrom on the mound. it was the defense that let him down today. 8 innings, 10 K, 3 R (1 ER) [the box will say 2, but it was def 1, an inherited runner would not have scored had it not been for the error]

Jacob deGrom is on pace to become the first pitcher in baseball's modern era to throw 200+ innings with a sub-2.00 ERA, and win fewer than 10 games.

That first one is excellent though. At least read it up until the bullet points which cover other trades around MLB.

An excerpt:

The New York Mets, a public-relations disaster that in its spare time masquerades as a baseball team, spent the days following the All-Star break finding new depths of dysfunction, which is saying something considering the teams ownership profited from the largest Ponzi scheme in human history.

And its important to start there, with owner Fred Wilpon and his son and team COO, Jeff, because rottenness of this sort does not grow randomly, a bizarre series of one-offs that happens to befall the same organization ad infinitum. It emanates from the same wound, one that festers and habitually infects, one rooted in an insecurity that explains so many of the Mets foibles.

Multiple people familiar with the Mets inner workings describe an organizational culture that is almost too childish to believe one in which Jeff Wilpon sees a winning day only as one in which the Mets are victorious and the New York Yankees lose. This is not just little-brother syndrome; its mania in which a franchises fealty to public perception drives so many of its decisions, a sad bit of irony considering Mets fans so deeply loathe the teams ownership.

This manifests itself in more than personnel moves. The Mets might as well communicate internally by tin can. Its not that the left hand doesnt know what the right is doing; its as though theyre on entirely different bodies. The day after outfielder Yoenis Cespedes told reporters he might need surgery on both of his heels that would keep him out more than half a year, Mets manager Mickey Callaway said he was not quite exactly sure what Cespedes said and, when informed, said: Thats concerning.

it all ties back to their meddling. basically everything ive been complaining about this whole season. its all them. everything stems from their interference, their cheapness, their incompetence, and their desire in making money (lost money from the madoff scandal)/publicity over fielding a competitive baseball team.

this was just another step in their long line of all of the above. somehow this familia trade was the thing that started setting something off. but they did the exact same stuff last deadline and no one bat an eye. In every single deadline deal, they made the other team pay all, or nearly all of the players salary. they got a ton of cash back in deadline deals in 2017. I think none of it went into 2018 payroll. if it did, it did stupidly.

Just re-leaving this here. Continue discussion as normal (aka me posting nonstop usually but whatever):

http://insider.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/24160093/mlb-mets-get-weak-payoff-trading-jeurys-familia-early

If the New York Mets are just going to trade their most valuable major league assets for salary relief, rather than to try to improve the club, then it's time for MLB to step in and force the Wilpons to sell the team, just as the league did with Frank McCourt and the Dodgers. Trading Jeurys Familia for two fringe-at-best prospects is not how any team, regardless of payroll level, should operate in this environment. For a franchise that operates in the largest market in the league to do this -- and do so ten days before the trade deadline rather than waiting for someone to offer a legitimate return -- is embarrassing for the Mets and for Major League Baseball as a whole.

The international slot money the Mets are getting is probably the most valuable part of the return, and that is utterly embarrassing for a marquee franchise in the largest market in the sport. Dealing major league players with immediate value for petty cash isn't the way to run a low-revenue franchise like Tampa Bay or, well, Oakland. It's damaging to the sport when it's happening to a team in New York City.

Oh hey, it's cool to see the Cubs broadcasters up high. I've loved Len and JD through the years, but always wondered if it was just bias.

Not sure if I've actually heard any of the ones ahead of them honestly. I remember one year they and the Padres booth visited each other and thought that was pretty fun. Really, I'm almost completely limited to Cubs/Cards/White Sox/Reds and those other three are pretty obnoxious.

its just fan voting so a lot of it is going to be, but you'll still get a good generic idea

Mets trade away one of the best relievers in team history, the return is questionable, and not one of the three assistant GMs addresses it? That lack of accountability is the clearest sign yet that the Mets baseball ops is now being run by new GM Jeff Wilpon. This brazen lack of accountability tells me that the folks running the New York Mets think that you, the fans, are dumb enough to accept this nonsense. Its quite insulting.


this shit NEEDS to go national. The Wilpons are obviously bad for the Mets, but also bad for MLB as a whole.

anyway nice notes aside. fuck the mets FO. this is a blatant clear as day salary dump and the Mets made the A's pay Familia's full salary and got worse prospects back as a result.

Asst (1/3 of current acting) GM John Ricco said YESTERDAY the Mets are willing to eat money in trades for a better return.

TODAY: Athletics taking all of Familias remaining salary, which is slightly more than $3M.

This trade hits three major areas. We got a major league ready reliever our scouts recommended, a position player who was a high selection from the 2017 draft and strong prospect in the As system as well as receiving international bonus pool money. The Mets have been aggressive internationally the last two years. This extra bonus pool money will be extremely helpful in acquiring potential top flight talent."

legit question:
does the mets FO think we're fucking stupid?
or do they actually believe their own BS?
or is this just wilpon stockholm syndrome?

It's official. Familia to the A's for 2 prospects and slot money.

Familia has been here so long. He was truly a dominant closer.
He had his share of bad moments, as any closer does, but it was far outweighed by his great ones. Loved watching his pitches move, he was unhittable at his best. He was easily the Mets 2015 MVP. No chance they're a playoff team, or go as far in the playoffs as they did without him. He gave us a completely dominant 2015 NLDS and NLCS - completely unhittable in those games.

The 6 out save in the NLDS vs the Dodgers was the greatest moment a Mets reliever has had since the 1986 World Series. And of course, the NL Pennant clinching moment in Game 4 vs the Cubs in the NLCS. Some Mets fans didn't like him, and unfairly so- of all the people I'd blame for the Mets losing the 2015 WS, Familia is absolutely last on the list , those games were not his fault (Save Game 1 but sh). But I believe many more will remember him fondly, or at least I hope.

Thank you, Jeurys.

Sources: As the Mets begin to do some background work on potential GM candidates, one of the possible candidates they have asked about is former Red Sox GM Ben Cherington, 44. He served as Boston's GM for four seasons, including 2013, when the Red Sox won the World Series.

oh hey

Cespedes' chronic issues requires surgery and 8-10 mos recovery time but hes trying to play anyway. When the Wilpons knew about this months ago. Yet he rehabbed and he's here trying to play through it anyway. Gee, I wonder why. Its not like the Wilpons previously forced their star players like Billy Wagner or Pedro Martinez to pitch through lost seasons after they were injured just to generate box reven- oh.

These fuckers need to go. But they can't. They're never going to sell and they can't be fired. They are our curse for fucking ever, and it's a family business btw. We are fucking doomed for eternity. He's horrible at his Job and is reminded every day of how awful he is/they are.

nice game by the mets tonight vs your baby bombers

sounds like Familia wasn't used in that game cuz he's been traded to A MYSTERY TEAM (maybe the A's?)

Familia has been here so long. He was truly a dominant closer, who is going to be unfairly remembered for one series, three games, two of which weren't his fault, but he was really an excellent closer Mets fans never truly appreciated. Gonna miss that guy. Jeurys Familias 6 out save in Game 5 against the Dodgers was the greatest thing a Mets reliever has done since the 1986 World Series.

Oh, I just re-read what you guys said, didnt realize you were on the other side.
Mejia is an elite prospect. Though I guess this Cimber guy is pretty good too, I'd been ignoring him but I would only guess its about how you think about Catcher prospects which can always be dicey.

Between Kuiper, Krukow, Miller and Flemming I'd put the Giants broadcast team against any other active broadcast team.


Now that Scully has retired, them and the Mets are the best 2 you'll get - I say this without bias even though it obviously exists, cuz you'll find them at the top of most rankings and they are incredible. Radio too.

Anyhoo, the Indians got played hard. They're already a basically guaranteed playoff team so its an acquisition to go from playoff team to WS team which is usually dumb. Giving up an elite prospect like that. I guess Hand is controllable (heh) beyond this year, but he's not even like an elite reliever. I really don't get this. How do you give up that much for Hand, while the Nats gave up so little for K. Herrera?

On the other hand (heh), hopefully this spikes the price for Familia.

Also btw some of the Mets minority shareholders (Comcast, Charter) are selling their Mets shares, 10%. Obv this doesn't affect the Wilpons really but man this is a sign of p bad financial health, that has recently been said by Manfred I believe to be "in excellent health" lol ok sure buddy

While the wooden miniatures do look great (much better than the more expensive plastic minis) and the kickstarter page is entertaining, there seems to be very little actual game to play here. It looks like they just wanted to figure out how to slap Trogdor into a game and market whatever they got with little regard to the actual gameplay.

game seems okay, nothing special but fine. Theres a 12 minute or so video of Strong Sad playing a few turns of it near the bottom.

Can't they find anyone better than Joe Buck to call every major thing on Fox? I mean, it seems like everyone either hates him or are indifferent to him.


let fans vote on the broadcasters

actually that could be a horrible idea, yankees fans would stuff for Kay

He wasnt some toddler, he was 17. One should be aware of the world around you at that age. Thats far old enough to be socially responsible. And yeah if you go down the rabbit hole, it gets worse and worse.

his apology was uh... I think he might be on drugs.

what a terrible broadcast.

poor O's fans had to listen to endless drivel about him getting traded, cant you just let O's fans enjoy one last night of him?

Also Joe Buck is a shithead. Talks about Scherzer being endless cy young candidate, then says literally nothing about deGrom when he's in instead , just miccing up Harper the whole time. And even Harper acknowledged Jake but Buck/Smoltz weren't having it, just want to suck the dick of the guy more who's hitting .212 and starting an all star game

Rua is the only Rangers player on that list? Damn.

Rua is the only position player Ranger with Negative WAR

By comparison, the Mets have 3 and the Orioles have 7.
