I wakened Wednesday morning and turned over to test my telephone to see a number of texts, tweets and plenty of pleasure. I believed I used to be nonetheless in a dream. It didn’t look like my eyes had been totally open and I used to be studying what I used to be seeing proper.
The Mets signed Carlos Correa to a 12-year, $315 million deal.
WHAT?
For an offseason that already has been the best within the historical past of the Mets franchise, this was the icing on the cake. Steve Cohen doesn't care concerning the luxurious tax. All he needs is to place the absolute best roster collectively to win a championship. Signing Carlos Correa was the icing on the cake for a staff that ought to undoubtedly be the favorites on paper to win the World Collection.
With Correa becoming a member of the Mets for the subsequent dozen years, you understand Nelson Figueroa and I needed to document one other emergency episode of the “Amazin’ However True” podcast. We react to the massive deal, the re-signing of Adam Ottavino and why the Mets have constructed one thing really particular for years to return.
Amazin’ However True Podcast with Jake Brown & Nelson Figueroa:
- CORREA THE ICING ON CAKE: No one noticed it coming. We thought the Mets could signal somebody to a one-year deal to be a DH/utility man. As a substitute, they went out and casually signed top-of-the-line gamers within the sport. It’s unbelievable how he fell into the Mets lap after the cope with the Giants fell via.
- LINEUP: Mets lineup is stacked from high to backside. They've a lot of depth and could have intriguing choices to make at catcher and DH. Do Francisco Alvarez and Omar Narvaez cut up time? Is it Narvaez and Tomas Nido? Does James McCann get traded? How do the Mets cut up up DH time? These are all nice issues to have and the Mets bench will probably be stacked.
- ROTATION/BULLPEN: Kodai Senga already has received over Mets followers earlier than even pitching. He might find yourself being a cut price at $15 million a yr because the Mets no. 3 starter. Adam Ottavino re-signing was a no brainer for the Mets. He was elite final season and becoming a member of David Robertson to arrange Edwin Diaz makes the Mets bullpen sturdy as anybody in baseball.
- CHAMPIONSHIP-OR-BUST: This roster on paper is the perfect in baseball. The aim ought to be a World Collection title-or-bust in 2023. They've invested an excessive amount of cash into this staff for something much less. What an unbelievable time to be a fan of the Mets. Steve Cohen has constructed one thing really particular in Queens.
