Syndergaard, looking out for the Mets by getting them that draft pick so he can return next year :troll:

Nah but whatever. We need to get some arms. The only thing that's annoying me about the media right now is that they're talking about him like we knew/the Angels know what they're getting next year from him.
The media can't Help themselves but to paint the Mets in a negative light. The narrative, "Only the Mets" is too hard to resist I guess.

fukk him.

Syndergaard needed to make a quick decision this offseason and he could not be told who the Mets GM and manager were.

Last I checked Sandy was still around and could make that decision. Hell I'm sure you can @ Cohen on Twitter and get a response.

If you want to bullshyt, at least come up with a story that makes sense.

Edit: I hope he turns into Matt Harvey.

This is a bullshyt article. They made hinm a Qualifying offer then:

"But that Syndergaard’s camp did not even go back to try to get the richest owner in the sport, Steve Cohen, to match or exceed that before he said yes to the Angels showed how far the right-hander had drifted in a week. He went from thinking about the Mets only to the need to get away to maximize what will become a platform season for Syndergaard to re-enter free agency next offseason."

He didn't want to come back had nothing to do with the Mets competence.

Why is Sandy still involved with this team?
Why did Theo blow us off?

I do think a lot of that article is Noah's team trying to keep Mets fans off his back, but this organization has zero structure and we just hired a GM who put together a 332-376 record.

I read on Twitter.. fukk.. I cant remember where.. that someone brought up moving on from Sandy, and getting a whole new regime in there.. and Stroman liked it. I got a feeling Sandy's not about this life no more. I think dude is literally collecting a check while the Mets upper management fumbles every possible resource and chance to move on.

I don't like the hire either. The excuse of dealing with Moreno is bullshyt. Scouting and talent is important and the Angels had neither.

There is no reason for Alderson to be part of the organization in any capacity. Cohen has the team.

I wouldn't blame them if that was their best and final, but after begging for a contract and claiming all this love, the least you can do is give them a chance to match. That's a 5 minute phone call with Sandy

If I told you I will only give you 10k for your car and to eat a dikk if you ask for more, why would you come back to me w/ an higher offer you got from someone else?

A take it or leave it deal is basically that. You're telling someone to eat a dikk if they don't take it.

Sandy is the same person who told Zack Wheeler he needed to buy his own World Series tickets. This is very believable and why they can't get anyone to come to NY.

- He was hired to make sure the sale was approved. They still don't officially have a GM. They need some type of executive to be currently working.
- He wants to own a team not be a president of baseball operation.

At least Eppler has experience in the position. Yeah, not a top flight choice but they did their due dilligence on all the better candidates. They either didn't want the job or didn't get permisssion.

They didn't tell him to eat a dikk. They offered him a fair value contract considering his injury history that they didn't have to. The least you can do is give them a call and see if they match.

I blame wheeler on the Mets, but this one is on Noah.

Sandy is literally only involved w/ the team for one more season, but it definitely seems like his presence completely soured the POBO search. I don't understand why anyone ever believed in Theo coming here which would've also looked funny given the former GM and former Assistant GM who then became interim GM were from his camp lol.

Yall worried about all these people and ignoring the fact that Steven Cohen is a corrupt scumbag piece of shyt who has no idea how to be the owner of a professional baseball team and that maybe everything from the organization's culture to its performance starts at the top.

The Mets will continue to be losers with him there.

He was part of the last regime albeit in a minority role. This is what people forget.

He has been a principle owners for a year. Calm down. lol

And on what planet are "corrupt scumbags" losers? There is no correlation between winning and being moral.
