Or the "new ball" in 2019 bothered him, or his entrance song bothered him. That $10M arb number was bananas.
He would probably be pretty useful as a 7th-8th inning guy. He's great on my computer Mets when he isn't the closer. I knew they couldn't bury him when Bro-die was still GM but if they really think they're going somewhere they'll need someone better.
We'll see what they think they're doing if/when the team cools off, without Scherzer and deGrom something tells me it's the old SA/Fredjeff strategy of "see where we are on Flag Day and then decide what to do". :/
EDIT: What a complete little league disaster of a game, and I can't believe Diaz pausing in the dugout while the coach gets on the phone to find out Ruf was safe, then talking to himself on the way to the clubhouse. I don't know how anyone can watch that guy and think he's anything but Armando Benitez Jr.
