Real quick, because I know this probably deserves more time, but really it might not.

I think the bigger conversation is more in line of where I'm going to go.

So the Mets essentially just said, who wants Jeff McNeil?

Take them.

So they sent them to the A's, and they're sending money to the A's to help offset some of his salary.

They get back, all right, they get a prospect, okay, whatever. So you've got McNeil is gone, Nimmo's gone, Alonzo's gone, Diaz is gone. So I'll take them in sequence. Nimmo gone, I honestly, I, great, whatever. You get back Marcus Simeon, no issues whatsoever. Diaz goes to the Dodgers and believe it or not, I didn't blink. I thought once they brought in Devin Williams, I thought the writing was on the wall, I think it would have been cool to have the two of them in the bullpen. The fact that he didn't come back, so be it. I was not as high on Edwin Diaz as a lot of met people. I was high on him. I loved him. Maybe. But I will tell you this, as someone that watches almost every game, one year, I will tell you, I felt like every time he walked in, the game was over. The guy still gives you a stroke every time it comes out there. So the idea that Edwin Diaz isn't here, again, I didn't have an issue with it. I think because his age. He was young.

I mean, he was, how old is he?

I had no issue with it.

McNeil going, made sense. Clearly, that had to come to an end. No issue. Now you read, I love these articles that are coming out. the meds, so they got Jorge Polanco,

who is not really a first baseman,

but he's capable of it.

Sure, I'll play first base.

Okay. The meds, so they got Jorge Polanco, who is not really a first baseman, but he's capable of it.

Sure, I'll play first base.

Okay.

Great.

So there's your replacement at first base.

You've got Simeon at second.

You've got Lendor it's short.

Fantastic.

Now the conversation is the Mets need to go out and get a right-handed bat with pop.

Right.
