That’s a great signing by the Mets. Versatile 2-3 win player for $10M/yr and only 2 years seems pretty team friendly.
Mets also signed Mark Canha. 2 really good signings. If they sign a good SP (like Gausman) they will have an extremely deep roster.
Mets having a good day with their signings. It will be weird to play Oakland and no longer see Mark Canha on the A’s. It’ll be even weirder to see Canha (Oakland-area native) on a different team. But that’s baseball.
They need to add more than one starter. Syndergaard is gone. deGrom is a question mark with his elbow injury. Carrasco had surgery to remove bone fragments from his elbow and "hopes" to be back early in spring training. They should sign a Gausman, Ray, or Stroman. Then try and trade for one of the A's starters.
Mets must add a legit #2 while they still have DeGrom in his prime, especially with Lindor, Alonso, and the rest of their lineup. I could see them handing Max a deal he cannot refuse…DeGrom/Max is a strong 1-2, even if Max is almost at the end of his career. I bet they’re kicking themselves for not keeping Wheeler, shame he was never really healthy for them.
If the Mets sign Gausman I would think they’d be the favorite in the NL East, possibly by a wide margin.
That’s a really lite return. Not that I would have been a huge fan of Frazier being the Astros’ everyday CF next season but that’s a good value for Seattle. If the Mariners add a ToR P they should be pretty good.

Yeah, I was one of the most vocal in going after Buxton. There is definitely risk involved with his injuries but $17M AAV is a steal if he can stay healthy.
