The Mets have a new ace after signing Justin Verlander. Plus, how it's time to focus on the players who want to be in New York after the deGrom aftermath.
If you can believe some of what was written, NY media may have had something to do with Jake wanting out. Not happy about bringing a player from a cheating team aboard, I don't care how good he is. And why have we not yet signed Nimmo? Where is the live and loyalty? I thought Brandon made it pretty clear that he wants to be here.
What stings us New Yorkers is the idea that anyone could possibly not want to be in NYC. At an intellectual level, we know not everyone wants to live here, same as not everyone wants to live anywhere. But on an emotional level, we are incredibly parochial and just cannot stand the idea that anyone would want to play anywhere but here. Especially somewhere like Dallas.

If Jake is really an anti-vaxxer, good riddance.
