I dont think its that simple, just extending. Has to be right timing for both.

Agreed, doesn’t want to commit to long term contracts. Which…is nit a bad idea on the whole. Very few players are worth long term deals.

Either outcome is possible.

The idea that he is washed, after 1 bad season, is crazy. He is too young to think that.

All good, i hope Vientos can be effective this year too.

it will be close enough and we wont have to worry about that dead arm in left. I loved Nimmo, but he needs to be a DH. Runner on second was automatic score every time when ball hit to him.

He will be nimmo like in his production.

Really? Based on what? By that measure Nimmo could not hit either.

Polanco is a versatile player. Thats why they signed him. They did not sign him to replace Pete. If anything his production will be that of Nimmo, while actually being an effective defensive player. Its still Dec, plenty of time left.

I'm willing to bet they didn't see the upside in a low avg, high K player, that wont be much better defensively than say Vientos. Also, you seem really stuck on Polanco as the everyday 1B. I bet that wont be the case. He will play 1B, but also DH, 2b, 3b, and in a pinch SS.

Also hate poor defense and long-term contracts for aging players.

In the end wins will determine it all. What Stearns does do get more wins than last year will be ultimate barometer, which will take many moves. If Mets make playoffs next year, then success. If you must, Polanco will prob be on par with Nimmo if you were to make a direct comparison.

I bet pete and polanco both go 1-4 opening day.

He is not the solution, nor is he supposed to be. He is just a quality player added to the team. Thats all. He is not meant to replace Pete.

30HR is Pete 2024 number, prob with better D. I would take that, but I doubt Jeff is still on team come spring.

why? He could easily replicate the most recent year. We can always cherry pick years to make an argument. Pete 2024: .240, 34HR 88RBI. Pretty pedestrian for 30M+ per year. for next 5years.

Mets dont let anything slip to media, ever. Thats why nothing nothing inspires. Diaz was a fumble of sorts, I get that. Calculated misstep for sure.

Its not massive, its the going rate for that caliber of player. Its slightly higher due to only 2 seasons. He is 1B/DH for now, but will see by seasons end. My guess is DH and backup to multiple positions in the end.
