Escobar too

@Sprint2First Pham, Hunter, Vogelbach, Perez? Lol Ruf make nothing. And this team still has aging players making a lot. I dont think looking at payroll is the gameplan rn for 2024, 2025

@CaseyJ_516 Shorter term deals. Only deal I’m concerned about is Marte’s. Most of the money will be off the books in 2-3 years.

@Sprint2First The bad news is: Scherzer will be 39, Verlander 41, Ottavino 38, Marte and Escobar 35 each. Mets are committed to paying $261.5 million to 19 players, all over the age of 30. No way to compete.

@TheNoseNY Scherzer and Otto will be off the books after next season. Payroll will shrink. Escobar comes off after this season.

@Sprint2First Can't wait. They all need to take a trip to DFA city.

@Sprint2First It's soon enough!!! Grrr

@Sprint2First And what players would want to come here ? Only the ones who want to retire but still get paid

@Sprint2First Also the 21 million owes to Cano will be off the books.

@Sprint2First Then people can complain that we have to spend more to win. The majority of this fan base will never be happy.

@Sprint2First Mad max has a third year option for next year.

@Sprint2First Vogelbach back makes 1.5 mil dollars. If he was the problem the Mets could easily cut him. Guess what? He's not the problem

@Sprint2First The Mets are absolutely cooked payroll wise the next 2 years and youre right it does shrink after my worry is that Cohen is so frustrated with the next 2 seasons he decides he doesnt want to spend anymore. Mets need to rid eppler and bring in someone who can compete under lux.

@Sprint2First The money side and owner with deep pockets is nice, but there are no guarantees. Consider the Pirates, sitting atop the NL Central with a $75 million payroll. (That's less than just Scherzer and Verlander combined)

@Sprint2First Im not even going there , but 340 for Lindor ? I say no more contracts more than 4 years. Overpay annually if you have to ,

@Sprint2First A lot of good free agents

@Sprint2First “Only”

@Sprint2First Only?

@Sprint2First That a hood, necessary house cleaning.

@Sprint2First That's still 1st in the league right?
