Thanks, I was legitimately curious. I think the part that wasn’t clicking for me is that folks believe Williams is a similar talent. I’m a Yankees fan, so I watched a year of Williams’ flaws and generally only saw the good Diaz.

Can you elaborate on why this is not bad for the Mets?

Huh, turned out this mattered.

The lineup is very scary without him. They might be even worse against lefties than last year. Desperately need a bat to shake loose on the trade market.

Moncada would at least be interesting as long as they don’t treat him like a 10 year vet who deserves a chance to work through struggles.

Not thrilled about the payroll stuff, but downright nauseated by the idea of a spring training Boone extension.

A cool thing is that I’m excited by every random pitcher the Yankees bring in these days. They’ve been so good at maximizing fringe pitchers the last few years.
