So I ask you...

Will Soto put the peddle to the medal?

D J said...

Looked better last night. Let's keep that up and we have a solid bat for 2025.

D J said...

Mack,
I assume the International signings are projected for 2026. International signings are going to be critical with our low MLB draft slot { 38 th} this year. We lost our second round selections due to the Soto signing. Our drafts have been, however, much better over the past three years.

When will they dump Marte and install Meneses at DH. We really are trying to win games right?

OK Mack its Gary Seagren but posted me as anonymous?

Mack Ade said...

The problem this signing period will have the Mets give 80% of their pool money to one 16 yr old

Paul Articulates said...

That picture of him smiling in a Mets uniform must have been photo shopped. I hope we see many future pictures of him enjoying himself.

Paul Articulates said...

Understand your frustration with Marte, but I don't think Meneses is anywhere near next in line for the DH duty.

All the young dudes carry the news. :)
