Obviously wish his performance was better of late and that he wasn't injured last year. When he did pitch in 24 he was lights out. You still can't replace him on the open market for $15M per year. As it is, a guy with 6.6 WAR between 2 years of work, he probably gets $20-25M AAV.

He's had a bad stretch for sure. If you take the first half into account he has had a decent year.
Matt Truesdail (@md-truesdail.bsky.social) reply parent
For $15M per year, still a bargain.

I'm just a little embarrassed to even be a WC team. Even if they turn things around by the playoffs, the narrative will be "clearly the new playoff system is broken if these Mets win big look how shitty they played during the regular season, definitely not the best team"

Appreciate the sentiment but he has actively said he is not going to be a leader in the party anymore. He's not going to say anything divisive. He's someone who will really only try to unite people.

This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.

Blue state governors should start sending their own national guard troops to: Billings, MT Knoxville, TN Charleston, WV Huntsville, AL All are cities in red states with majority non-minority populations and high crime rates. They clearly need help dealing with their broken cities.

Agreed. The reason is made up. Even if it wasn't made up, that is not the role of the US military and there is a very good reason for that.

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.
