Mets General Manager Billy Eppler had his work cut out for him last off-season. Sure, it helped to have Steve Cohen's checkbook at his disposal, but still, it was up to Eppler and his front office staff to determine which Mets free agents to bring back or cut loose, which league free agents they should [...]

Carlos Carrasco was bad and Chasen Shreve was worse, putting the Mets in a nine-run hole and leading to the team's third-straight loss to the Astros, this one by a 9-1 score. Hopefully you were lucky like me and missed this game. Can't win 'em all and it looks like fans were put out of [...]
