Welcome to life as a Mets fan.

They are sitting with the second lowest payroll in MLB (behind the A's) at $85.5M, with their three most established players under contract now for at least the next 4 years (Reynolds, Hayes, and Keller) and still fielding a team that has negative WAR at catcher, 1B, and corner OF. So hard to be a fan.

Yeah, I’m hoping they can piece together enough relief pitching. They also have some starters that might be able to contribute here in a few months. Is going to be back soon, so maybe you can get rid of that bullpen game once a week. Mike Burrows is ramping up and might be able to give them something later on. He was really well regarded but had TJ. Falter is decent most of the time.


Hitting wise you have no prospects. Looking at needing an upgrade at 1b/c/RF/CF on offense.

Shoutout to Bryan Reynolds right now. He’s killing it in June.
