Overall, a good contract for Nimmo and DeGrom sure looks strange in that Texas uniform. This is not how I thought it would end as I thought it would be the other way around. Eppler did a good thing with Uncle Stevie’s money. As a Mets Fan from the beginning and never a Yankee fan, I only have one question for you, “Why would you not like an owner who is willing to spend lot get the right team to try and win a championship?” Just sayin! Let’s Go METS!!! LGM

I'm glad they brought Nimmo back; there was no reasonable replacement for him. We were all wondering if the Mets could bring back their three big FA's; well they kind of did if you insert Verlander for deGrom. Different times.

Heavily investing financially at this point makes all sorts of sense since it'll take 3-5 years to build up the entire farm system to be Dodger/Astro-like (which is the goal). This gives me confidence that they will also lock up their other home grown stars down the line; Alonso being the main guy on the current roster.

We have come quite a way from where Robertson would have been the biggest offseason add to where he wasn't even the biggest add the hour that he was signed.
