At the moment final yr, the Mets had but to signal Sean Manaea. That they had but so as to add JD Martinez and Harrison Bader. That they had simply traded for Tyrone Taylor and Adrian Houser.
In different phrases, president of baseball operations David Stearns hadn’t achieved a lot of significance up up to now in 2023. There have been strikes nonetheless to be made, which stays the case for Stearns and the Mets this offseason.
This can be a message to impatient and antsy Mets followers. A reminder that Stearns is biding his time, ready for the proper second to strike. Outdoors of the blockbuster 15-year, $765 million signing of Juan Soto, it has thus far been a comparatively quiet offseason in Queens. They made two under-the-radar pitching strikes, inking Clay Holmes and Frankie Montas after which early this morning re-signed Manaea to a three-year, $75 million deal. However they’ve but to herald a nook infielder or add a lot to the bullpen (Holmes is predicted to transition to being a beginning pitcher).
Mets followers have needed to see extra motion. They really feel the lineup and pitching workers is brief. They’re proper. However they’re flawed for not letting it play out.
