I think you've got it right about the clubhouse issue. I've also heard enough about it. Some pundits will keep hammering away about gossipy stuff because, of course, it gets clicks. I remember it took weeks and weeks before the Post stopped writing about the squirrel stuff. Two young guys had a fight...report it and then let it go. Imo Cabrera is a proven injury machine and I wouldn't touch him.

This clubhouse shit is way overblown and it’s a classic Sherman in the off season article when there isn’t a damn thing going on with the hot stove or NY baseball. He does it every year and the Post is more than happy to give him the space to do it as it creates eye balls for their sports section ( which is very good) but this is a nothing burger and the only situation I’d give small credence to is Lindor who was always all smiles being the highest paid Mets player until the new kid comes in. If he’s Jealous over this he should be run out of town immediately. That is some real immature BS. Being a superstar player they are usually happy when contract records get broken as they have paved the way for the next generation of superstars. If his dick is bent outta shape then he better get over it fast but I still don’t see it. This team is getting the kick in the ass it needed and pieces are coming.

Not to discuss politics here, but I believe there are 3 Venezuelan players on the Mets 40-man roster: Álvarez, Torrens, and Acuña. Events of the past few days, and especially the future, may affect the clubhouse. The same can be said for all MLB teams with Venezuelan players. Again, I do not want to start a political discussion but reality is reality and the clubhouse is the subject of today's Just Mets.

That's up to the Mets, their management team and their HR department to handle. Again, that can be the case almost anywhere at any company. The Mets are not unique in that regard, just because they're a baseball team.

Michael, I wrote, "The same can be said for all MLB teams with Venezuelan players" and the topic here IS baseball and "Just Mets".
