So the lockout charade must soon end. Because pretty soon, with a persisting lockout, season games could be cancelled, and if they wait long enough, they won't be made up.
Cash flows squeezed - franchise values deflated - unacceptable - get those trucks off the bridge and settle this thing so we can play ball and keep the cash infusing and the franchise values inflating as if they were gas prices.
Once it does settle, though, as all such silly things do, the Mets, like many teams, will have to finish their off-season roster enhancement restructuring.
So, here's your challenge, Mr. and Mrs. Macks Mets Reader:
How would you finish off the sculpting of the 2022 masterpiece begun pre-lockout when the Cohen regime acquired the likes of Scherzer and Marte et al?
Only answer if you seriously want to build a true pennant contender. If all you intend to do is build a team capable of serious September baseball, you're being too "Wilpon".
OK - the ground rules have been laid out - your task lies before you - let's hear it.
But, before you do...
One of our most incisive commentators on this site has suggested trading Big Pete Alonso for a couple of top, young starter arms. Big Pete would still be cheap for an acquiring team for years to come, and would give them instant box office.
Before quickly discarding such an idea, did you know who had the highest single season slugging % in Mets' history? 1B Dom Smith, in not-so-long-ago 2020, when he put up a .616. I hear he is also a deft gloveman at 1B.
Thoughts on that, if you care to share??
