Open Thread - Mets Acquire SP Chris Bassett for JT Ginn and Adam Oller - What Would You Do NOW If You Were Steve Cohen?

  

We asked this nearly a month ago....

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 (once again, now that the lock out has been knocked out) - your task lies before you - let's hear it.

OF COURSE...

The Mets made a big trade Saturday - whether you like it or not:

The Post reported: "In another “win now” move, the team acquired right-hander Chris Bassitt (12-4, 3.15 in 27 starts) from the Athletics for pitching prospects J.T. Ginn and Adam Oller, sources confirmed."

Whaddya think?  Is it OK to win now?

Anyway, you can also address what you think the Mets' division opponents might have up their sleeves.  After all, the Mets don't play in a vacuum.

LASTLY...

How about this for a Blue Jays home field advantage, if this policy does not change in the next 4 weeks?

Injuries aside, another concern for MLBPA: unvaccinated players. 

Restrictions in Canada don’t allow unvaccinated players to enter the country. Hence, players who miss games in Toronto due to vaccination status will not be paid and would lose service time.
