They would have handed Alonso an albatross last offseason and used it as an excuse to not get Soto lol

For much of last year he was what people expected. After a hot start he picked up .3 WAR from June onwards.

Alonso injuring a pitcher with his bad defense and being offensively absent for much of the second half didn’t help

Idrc we saw Jake a player 100x better and more valuable on a personal and playing level walk, it’s hard to “undervalue” relievers.

I would have signed that deal, but Diaz didn’t want to be a Met as can be literally seen in him not letting us match. You’re automatically assuming he wanted to be here and wouldn’t want more money to stay.
We already have a closer.

Cool, doesn’t mean we should sign contracts that aren’t likely to age well at a position where we already have a player who is going to be as good or better over the next few years.
If 5/100 was what was needed to keep Diaz from immediately taking a different offer then no thanks. He isn’t Jake.

He wanted to be a Dodger.
Basing your offseason around throwing money at a closer when there’s other areas of need on this team would be silly.

Relievers are the most volatile players and the way Stearns (and historically Friedman) builds a good bullpen is by consistently developing RPs and converting SP prospects into RPs.
I wonder if Mets fans remember how the 2015 Royals cooked us in the WS with their bullpen of homegrown randoms lol.

I hope you guys like Edwin, loved him here but I don’t think an expensive closer is the best allocation of Mets resources rn.
Stearns has historically been one of the best GMs at building bullpens and the bullpen is one of the Dodgers’ only holes while we have other things to work on.

Maybe up to 100 million opened now, though possibly more in the 80-90 million range. But I expect trades and prospect promotions more than FAs this offseason.

He was the closer on an 83 win team that collapsed in the second half like what are we doing here lol

What would the Mets equivalent of their offer be? Although I have little interest in Gray.

Alimony is not common anymore unless there is a genuine financial need and in practice this is just whining about men needing to contribute anything to their impoverished kids. Why would Oliver Anthony be a genuine interlocutor?

Do you think whites need programs to become “healthy white people”? That’s the accurate comparison because whiteness, like manhood is a socially constructed identity to oppress others who don’t meet its standards

In a non-patriarchal world where men didn’t have majority of power, such programs would also be unjustified

You have not coherently responded to the statistics or articles I posted. You have also not responded to the fact that parental alienation was coined by a pedophile psychiatrist.

Propublica reported a case where there was documented physical and sexual abuse and neglect of a child by his father for *years*. The court found that the mother's reports of abuse were a "danger" to the child's health, and the father was awarded custody.

In the Child’s Best Interest
As a contentious custody dispute drags on for years, both sides agree on one thing: The child at the center of it is being abused. Is his mother or father to blame?

This concept of "parental alienation" was invented by Richard Gardner, a psychiatrist who testified against victims of abuse in hundreds of custody battles. He openly argued that reporting child abuse, thereby "stealing” the child from the father, was more harmful than actual abuse.

The reason for this is because in addition to the general climate of hostility towards women and children who are victims of abuse by men, there is widespread belief (by people like you) in the courts that women fabricate claims of abuse in order to "alienate" their children from the father.

Nice anecdotal evidence.
When a mother reports that her husband abused her or her child, she is disbelieved a majority of the time. When she reports her child was sexually abused, she is disbelieved 85%+ of the time. If she reports physical & sexual child abuse, she loses custody 50% of the time.

PUAs and Redpillers wrote rape manuals and most popular figureheads abused women, you are genuinely a bad person if you give money/support to men who assault women regardless of if you personally also do it.
