Wilmer Flores lands on his feet (ha!) after being non-tendered by the Mets, as he inks a deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The contract is one year with a club option for 2020 that guarantees Flores $4.25 million. He gets…
Mets fans did not appreciate enough what a fine season Noah Syndergaard had in 2018. While all of the attention was rightly focused on the tremendous year put up by Jacob deGrom, Syndergaard put up a season right in the…
There’s safety in doing things the way every other team does things. Sometimes this is smart percentage baseball at work and other times it’s done for no other reason than to avoid second guessing. How many times did we hear,…
