MACK. - DIRTY LAUNDRY

 


What's The Plan, Stan?

 

So, what the hell just happened?


Did Cohen/Stearns & Co. invent a new way to follow my previous recommendation to target this team to 2027?

Yes, the combined 2025 salaries of Alonso, Nimmo, and Soto were already off my worksheet. They represented a reduction $72,000,000.

What wasn't in the projection were any plans for both Pete and Edwin to take their skills elsewhere.

We also need to remember that we added the 2026 salary of Marcus Semien ($25.000,000).

I also just added Jorge Polanco.

And, there are other additions:

    Injured Player Replacements:    $5,544,000

    0-3 year players in majors:        $6,336.000

    0-3 year players in minors:       $2,669,800

    Pre-ARB bonus pool:                  $1,666,667

    Estimated player benefits:      $18,000,000 


This raises my current 2026 salaries to a still whopping $315,900,865, far past any chance of getting below the penalty level.


Oh well.

Good Morning Mack,
The Mets are still trying to trade McNeil/Senga. Do you think that if Semien is playing well and the Mets are not going anywhere in 2026 that he will be on the trading block?.

I don't

I think he is the DEFENSE FIRST second baseman for at least two seasons

Morning Mack,

Do you think the Mets will have a fire sale at the trading deadline if they are below 500?

Now the 2028 salaries. That's the year the tax will be reset.

Definitely
