I call bullshit on the Sal Liccata story that the Mets are offering 3 years for Pete. In what world is that even leaked? Going into the offseason it was at least somewhat known that the Mets were quite comfortable at 4 years and Pete was wanting 5 plus. Nobody wants Pete for 5 plus years. The Mets will match any offer at 4 years. That’s stupid for him to walk over years if the money is the same. If he really wants to keep playing after the 4 years he can hit the DH racket and sign 15-20 mil/yr. Deals to be a primary DH/Back up first baseman. Where do these asshats come up with the balls to go on TV and report such nonsense? These shitheads should be shot if their reporting winds up to be fake.
Shooting is a tad harsh 😜 but these guys have to say something. I assume some embellish stories when it's a slow news time. What I don't understand is how there's any, ANY interest in Schwarber when the aim is run prevention. That's peak apples and oranges.
Which is why Semien's $72 million over the next 3 years could be better spent. Acuna has shown his defense at 2B and he costs peanuts. Whatever they may lose in offense with Acuna, if any, can be more than made up with a Tucker in LF, Pete at 1B, Schwaber at DH or any other bat(s) they choose to spend that $72 million on. We're talking 2 different languages, Stearns is talking gloves and we keep talking bats. I know, I'm beating a dead horse.

Is anyone worried about Bellinger's hitting away from Yankee Stadium? I am.
That's why he's likely to stay with the Yankees
Single biggest improvement that can be had for this team: Tucker.
That's only a big improvement if there's a Pete-like 1B ... or Pete in person, naturally.
