Not good. Thankfully, we have a deep bench this season that's stepping up.

Billionaires don't buy sports teams to make money, they buy sports teams because they have money.
It's a trophy acquisition.
The idea that billionaires can’t afford to invest in their roster is laughable. If your team isn't a passion project, you shouldn't have bought it. Pay your players!

I’ve been high on Ryan Clifford’s potential ever since he came over to the #Mets from the #Astros in the Verlander trade. He’s a power hitter, much like Pete Alonso, and it would be nice to give him an extended look at first base this spring.
I honestly don't think Pete's coming back this time.

Why Ryan Clifford might be the Mets' first baseman of the future
For the second straight offseason, the Mets face the prospect of losing their star first baseman, as Pete Alonso heads back to free agency.
Alonso has been a staple in Queens since winning the 2019 NL...

Another well-deserved Silver Slugger award for Juan Soto. He'll definitely get for MVP, and he's more deserving than Kyle Schwarber. #Mets #Cardsky

We need a full-time DH. Mark Vientos can fill that void. I'd rather spend the money on pitching. #Mets
Figuring out Vientos’ long-term fit
Where does Mark Vientos fit in the Mets’ long-term plans?
Such a question would have seemed asinine 12 months ago, in the wake of his 2024 star turn. As a 24-year-old, Vientos hit 27 home runs and pro...

#cardsky Will it happen? I can see it, but from a Collector's standpoint, the market needs competition.

Brooks Raley's option has been picked up by the #Mets. Good move!
Drew Smith's option has been declined.
Luis Robert Jr. is still a White Sox player. Did they pick up his option just to continue dangling him as trade bait to the Mets? I hope not Let's give Carson Benge a shot in centerfield! #mlb

#GodzillaDay Toho’s finest was unleashed 71 years ago today - here’s a piece from a few years ago about GODZILLA and its legacy with the atrocities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
The Importance of 'Godzilla' Cannot Be Overstated
Godzilla is known throughout the world as the Hulk Hogan of monster wrestling, but the original film that started it all is a deep allegory, taking its inspiration from a dark place in world history.

How the hell is Don Mattingly on the Contemporary Baseball Era Hall of Fame ballot and Keith Hernandez is not? Hernandez was clearly the better player. An 18 WAR difference, plus Hernandez got the most important hit in game 7 of the World Series TWICE! www.mlb.com/news/contemp... #LGM #LFGM #MetsSky

As expected. He should be top priority now.
First Base coach Antoan Richards was the former #1 priority, based on order, but they blew that. #mets

When I figure out a way to describe what Yoshinobu Yamamoto did this weekend I’ll let you know. If Pages and Kiké dropped that ball with two out in the ninth the entire legacy of these Dodgers is different. Now, they are a dynasty forever. What an unhinged sport: open.substack.com/pub/mollykni...

Good morning! With the World Series behind us, free agency kicks off tomorrow. Who will the #Mets land? Framber Valdez? Cody Bellinger?
Or will Stearns go all-in on Rob Refsnyder at DH, Rowdy Tellez (second coming of Daniel Vogelbach) at 1B, and convert Richard Lovelady to a starter?
