Great comments on EE. I’m convinced. The versatility angle seems a huge upside. Also, should injuries require a move near the trade deadline, his value to another contender could get the Mets a big piece in return.

Regarding "As The Mets Turn," I like Escobar, I like Guillorme and I trust the Mets organization to do the right thing for the franchise. I also like how beefy Senga looks next to Tanaka.

I am more nervous about locking in Correa to a dumb contract than I am about letting him walk, which is my inclination. If he wants more guaranteed money -- which is only everything -- he's free to play the market. But the reality is, there's no market or he would have signed already. Who is going to give this guy a guarantee of $200 million? A perfectly healthy Swanson just signed for 7/$177. I'd do something like that with Correa. If there's another team out there willing to be on the hook for more, let them come forward.

If we sign Correa, I keep Escobar and dump Guillorme, who is overrated by fans. A black hole in the lineup.
