Great. All is forgiven. Full speed ahead.

Yeah 1 year of Stroman to show what he can do. But sign some extra depth just in case he sits out the season again for Covid

ALWAYS need extra depth. That was the big weakness this year.

If we sign Bauer and have a rotation of Jake, Stro, Bauer, Peterson and (later) Thor, hopefully Matz can return to form at #5.

If we can't get Bauer, Tanaka or Walker could be a fit.

zozo. he won’t sit out and lose 19 million. He lost probably “just” 3 million in 2020.

Bill, if we sign Bauer, I’d still want another better-than-Wacha starter also signed. Even if it is also multi-year. Kluber?

No matter how he spins it, I think the market this winter was just too uncertain for Strohman to walk away. He made the smart play.

I could have gone either way on this one, but overall I'm glad he's in the rotation on a one-year deal. Perfect. One less hole fill. I see him as a #3 w/ upside.

Next!

I am one of 100s on MetsTwitter that have been blocked by this guy.

If he is truly a Met, you unblock everyone and take what is thrown your way with a grain.

He definitely talks the talk.

Bauer will make him look downright laconic.

I knew he didn’t have the balls to test this market. The question is, if Brodie hadn’t bailed him out with a QO in this financial landscape after not pitching for over a year, what reality would he have faced? Very likely 3/$40 or so. Let’s see if he will put up or shut up this year? Not really betting on the shut up...
