Suffice it to say this move signals a gut renovation, and we can count the position players guaranteed to stay put on one hand.

I wonder what it would take to get Ceddanne Rafaela from the Red Sox.

We're feeling a bit of familial loss -- Mets drafted Nimmo out of Wyoming! It's hard to lose someone we watched blossom.

My hope is this Nimmo trade is the first step in aligning the roster for overall improvement. And I think we'll enjoy having Semien before too long.

Wait what?! Nimmo may be best hustle/vibes teammate in baseball.

No catch. They just buy ingredients and produce at scale.

Yes. Buehlre should be in the HOF for this alone.

But you did say BOLD so we're good 👍

Always take the under on full-season lines like that. Injuries - esp for DeLauter - are just too common.

Almost identical innings totals and FIP-ERA discrepancies!

Francis 2024: 3.30 ERA, 4.36 FIP in 103.2 IP

Rogers 2025: 1.81 ERA, 2.82 FIP in 109.2 IP

Hard to value Rogers for 2026 given that even his 2025 FIP is CY worthy.

Ok I have a 2015 GTI but I'm happy to trade.
