Scherzer to the Dodgers.
Kyle Gibson to the Phillies.
Berrrios to the Blue Jays (although perhaps they overpaid)
Mets get…Trevor Williams. He had a good year for Pittsburgh…in 2018. He's been garbage ever since.
But of course, we got Whiff Machiine Javy Baez! Yay! Current stats: 15 BB, 131 K.
Think he'll get his ass booed when he starts racking up more sombreros than Main Street in Tijuana? Naaaaah.
I mean, at least it's not Kris Bryant, whom I viscerally HATE for starting all this "launch angle" bull****. But still.
And yes, over his career, Baez has hit more dingers on the road than at home…but if you don't think swapping Wrigley for Shea II won't take the air out his One Dimension faster than Harry Styles going solo killed One Direction…
So, either this is just a rental, or Conforto will sulk his way to the bench when he realizes Zac wants to move McNeil to RF and he (Conforto) won't be re-signed. Or, knowing us, both.
Did I mention that September is easily Baez's worst month? (Because that's when the wind blows in at Wrigley, see?)
F*************CK
Current Mets rotation:
1. Marcus Stroman
2. Tylor "AAmazin" Megill
3. All-Star Taijuan "Bombs Away!" Walker
4. The Ghost of Rich Hill
5. Trevor Williams. No, seriously. TREVOR WILLIAMS, ffs
Sigh.
