Nimmo on the market? What in the world could they get for him? 2026 is his age 33 year @ $20,500,000. He is signed through 2030, his age 37 year @ 20,500,000 every year. I assume they would love to dump him and go heavy for Tucker, but reality sucks.

Love the Tucker idea! Love that lineup. Bat him 5th, after Alonso.

I can’t imagine anyone wanting Nimmo or McNeil. They guy I’d shop is Lindor and move Acuna to shortstop.

Christian Scott is intriguing. Could he be the right-handed long man/bridge guy we need? Maybe he can even get some spot starts instead of burning up a short reliever as an opener.

It's going to make for an interesting Spring Training.

I do not want Peralta. He will be Montas2. I’m also sick and tired of the Stearns/Milwaukee link. Just because he had success with players when he was there means nothing when it comes to playing in NY. If Alonso doesn’t come back Stearns better get the checkbook out for Bichette and Bellinger plus! I also like the Diaz-Williams combo and concur with if Diaz leaves Williams become the closer. I have to believe Cohen knows he sold the fans a load of shit this year. He got on us for attendance and put that out there for us to watch. The fans give him the all time record for attendance at Citi field and this is what we got? He knows that can’t happen again. Stearns better be active and not be stingy with the checkbook. I want Pete and Edwin back. Then he can go out and start wheeling and dealing.

"...their self-acknowledged wealth of talent at the position." Well, maybe there's a wealth of talent but in terms of performance, we're on welfare. After last year's performance, that's a hard one to swallow, brother Buskirk. I'm ardently hoping that Stearns's talk about internal options and Benge starting in center are just ploys to tamp down fan expectations and help with free agent and trade negotiations. I can't imagine the Mets can get much of a return from trading the players you mentioned. Better to hold Senga and hope for a rebound than trade him for some mediocrity.

This is a team that couldn't find a pitcher to pitch a win or get eliminated game to end the season. Spare me on talk of wealth in the position.
