Let's not start a holy war here

That would be interesting fo sho.  If we get Dansby, all we need for that championship run is a first baseman, a catcher, 3 starters and a closer.

Turner and Boegarts set awful precedent here. Its gonna force teams to overpay like never before. If I'm the Braves and have to give out a long contract to a SS? Yeahhhh, Correa all day. No offense to Dansby.

I know it's foosballz signing day, but dizzamm.  Carlos Correa flips from the Giants and signs with the Mets for 12 years and $315 large.  12 years???

Gotta hand it to the Mets. Spending all that money to get a wild card only to lose to the cubs in the ‘23 NLCS.

Gonna be paying a shortstop 30
Million after he turns 40.

At this point the Mets have pigeonholed themselves into a lose lose. No one is going to respect a ring now. And if they lose , it’s going to be even more hilarious. Ahhh, the Mets.

You have the Dodgers, then the Padres, and now the Mets spending obscene amounts of cash to buy championships.

And they're all going to eventually lose to the Cubs.

BWAAAHAHAHAHA......

It’s the Mets on spending and the next few are not even close. It’s insane and borderline criminal what they’ve done. Illegal, no. But it’s absolutely goes against the spirit of the game and the luxury tax rule to do what they are doing. Cohen is literally just trying to buy a ring to satisfy his and their fans teeny peen syndrome. It may be time for mlb to get a hard cap of some sort.

Ie - 235 million soft cap. Luxury tax to 300. Then that’s the hard cap in which you either start forfeiting games or face suspensions.
