Blow it up!?! You mean like they kinda did last year at the trade deadline? Kinda, sorta, but not completely enough that they are still saying that they want to be competitive this year. I agree with you both on the podcast as to the approach if the Mets are, say, 1 game out of a WC spot at the trade deadline. Hopefully that will be the case, if not something even better record wise but given the Mets performance so far this year it is starting to not look like that will be the case. Still, I do agree with Jimmy, it is far too early yet to make any even maybe decisions about what to do at the trade deadline. The tale will be told how the Mets perform from now until the end of June. All we can say is #LGM
Regarding Stearns and his signing of Joey Wendel, his not being familiar with Giorme and his value to the team is inexcusable. Sure, he wasn't here the last few years but as a GM before you make a move to get rid of are acquire a player you should be VERY familiar with what the current player you have, his strengths & weaknesses and if you are planning to ditch him for another player you damn sure be familiar enough to make the right decision for the team. In Wendel's case, Stearns not only made the wrong decision by ditching Giorme and signing Wendel he let a quality UT player who had proven value to his current team get away for nothing in return. Now we are worrying about a backup 2b for McNeil, which wouldn't be a worry at all if Giorme was still on the team. For all the talk about the greatness of Stearns as a GM I haven't seen it yet. In fact, to this date, just the opposite. We are stuck with this arrangement for the foreseeable future though and we are definitely stuck with Cohen and his complete confidence in Stearns.
