Jacob Wilson got the call. He is a career .401/.445/.613 hitter in the minors. I guess I just assumed he was gonna hit like his dad I always had a soft spot for Jack Wilson. I love those defensive wizards at short even if they can't really hit at all. Also just realized Jose Iglesias has been tearing the cover off the ball since he joined the Mets.

Ty France on waivers. Making $7 million this year with his final arb year to go.
Very good chance we claim him IMO. He's even a driveline guy

So you're saying the command is a work in progress?

Jackson Jobe has been limited to 41-2/3 innings but has only surrendered 16 hits...3.5h/9. If he can stay healthy (64 innings last year) they may not be sweating that Mayer decision.

I know we have a lot of OF but I think we should try to sign Forest Wall. Plays RF and LF . Career hitter including the minors is 310. He doesn’t hit for much power , however in the minors he stole 52 bags back to back years. In 231 PA hit .279 last year. He’s hitting in a limited sample size 13 games 32 PA .241. His speed off the bench with Duran, Hamilton, Rafaela c would create havoc .

I don't see the fit, and a speed guy off the bench isn't really a priority, is it? He'd be like the backup pinch runner with nobody to pinch run for.

After finally looking better against a Red Sox team that can’t hit lefties… the Dodgers DFA’d James Paxton

We would only be over the tax if we aquire over $30M AAV which I don’t see as a realistic outcome at this point

Was gonna joke that Bailey would have Paxton throwing nothing but cutters and curveballs - and weirdly he just hasn’t his thrown his cutter very much (and it’s been crushed when he has) with the Dodgers after it being his third pitch (and relatively solid one) with the Sox. Paxton - Cutter Usage 2023: 279 cutters (16%) - .169 xBA .310 xSLG 2024: 53 cutters (3%) - .371 xBA .701 xSLG no clue what happened there

Bobby Witt is a single shy of the cycle in the fourth.. I’d have to imagine that it’d be the first time ever with consecutive days of a player hitting for the cycle if he gets it

Witt is 12 for 15 with 2 doubles, 2 homers, and a triple since the All-Star Break.

Are the Mets starting to build some good vibes?
Nothing would be sweeter than NYC pouring some Knicks energy into the Mets to contrast the negative feelings surrounding the Yankees as of the last couple months.
I can’t imagine Juan Soto is having a lot of fun in his one season in the Bronx.
If he leaves, and the Mets seem the likeliest threat, that franchise will have deep soul searching to do.
A vibes advantage is a good start for the Flushing franchise.

Paul Skenes has been worth 2.2fWAR and 3.4bWAR in 12 starts and the Pirates are over .500 with a week before the trade deadline.
I know it's not likely that they do, but it'd be real cool to see them invest a little and actually try to win baseball games over the next handful of years.

They need to go back to the We Are Family style hats, then I’ll definitely root for them.

Well they did just sign Keller to an extension this offseason and I would think with the trio of Skenes, Jones, Keller they will be more inclined to invest in the offense. Not like they're going to go out and sign Soto but I would hope that they'd be aggressive the next few years since that trio of pitchers is as good as you'll find in the league.

I think this is a straw man since many have starting calling it the big 4. But if we're going to trade for someone good, you gotta give up something. Some people are concerned that his swing will get exposed at higher levels, so might suggest selling high. That's not outrageous.
