He was so confident about his injury and swore up and down he’d be fine and coming back, and now this. Minaya has disappointed me as well he should have advised better. My bet is this has nothing to do with the virus. He ensured that he’s fully healthy entering the off season. To be clear, I do not begrudge anyone who elects to avoid playing during this unique season and circumstances. You’re doing something right. And yes… Cheating on your spouse should be illegal. While I respect a player for putting his or his family’s health first today, is that really the case here? LOL! Good for him. The Mets announced Monday that right-hander Marcus Stroman has opted out of the remainder of the 2020 season. You can call it bax luck. @hiflew but now they can take their chances on Anthony Kay and Simeon Woods Richardson instead of the nothing they were going to get if they held onto him. Their GM spoke up that the Jays never got back to them but there was never any details as to what was offered. Did Marcus Stroman commit service time manipulation? The New York Mets received a shock to their 2020 plans when All-Star pitcher Marcus Stroman became the second player to officially opt-out of the shortened season. They are all top 10 in offensive production for their positions. By my count, that is equivalent to about 9 days in the current season, so he will still be a FA at season’s end. So he gets credit for a full season by playing 2 weeks as opposed to having his contract toll like someone like Price who opted out before the season.. Is that correct? However, there is one scenario where the Mets can still save face. =D. While the Mets still have youngster David Peterson and prospect Matthew Allan in their system, their future does not look as bright as it did before the trade. It was one of those things were certain guys scuffled or got hurt. We’ll have a pic of him on a packed beach in Cancun in a week. Then, looks at where the mets are, how they’re playing, and all the stronger AL & NL east teams they need to play against. Beyond any COVID revenue loss, him opting out of this season shouldn’t carry the same weight that someone who misses an entire 162 has. cmon. Can players who opt out get a qualifying offer? I was thinking the same thing, he’s the type of guy that will bet on himself and accept the QO. I guess I shouldn’t judge. The QO comp pick will be nowhere near as valuable as Kay or SWR, let alone both. Even if Stroman’s plan all along was to opt out as soon as he could while still qualifying for free agency this offseason, he was allowed to do that. Happ (All 3 third rounders btw). Plus we know the Twins had a better offer to give if Atkins had just made the call. Some brief signs of hope, but not much consistency. If they don’t have the right to do it as you say, how did they manage to get away with it? Let's grade the … If he declines, I think he might end up sitting out until June like Keuchel last year. What’s the downside with all the big name pitchers going down with bigger injuries? At least no idiot has bothered us with this “lolmets”-nonsense yet (except for me…). You don’t win with a me-first primadonna like Stroman. We simply don’t know, and shouldn’t blame the Jays FO on this. Join the Rising Apple team! I don’t know if he waited specifically because he wanted to be a FA (I can’t possibly know that) but if he did, of course he’s not going to admit it. So he accomplished free agency while on the DL and protected his value by not performing poorly this season. The problem is not him opting out. He didn’t have He got his 24 days some time last week. They didn’t really give up that much to get him in th big picture. Powered by Minute Media © 2020 All Rights Reserved. No more than the Cubs did to Kris Bryant or the Braves did to Ronald Acuna. Jays trading Stroman to the Mets looking better by the minute. Richardson looked good last year in A+ at age 18. In this scenario, Stroman indeed did have the right to steal stuff from his new landlord. Your analogy doesn’t work at all. Notice how he replies. By that I mean he should be selling mufflers because every move he has made has damaged this team now and for the foreseeable future! Really good offense? But he knew he would traveling to places that were hot spots like Miami BEFORE the season began. Ik Tanaka has done good in the playoffs but honestly I’d be happy to face him… Paxton??? If Mets wanted his services then pay the man so he is financially secure. It wasn’t like Kris Bryant. Even Alonso looks questionable. Also, SWR is a top-100 prospect. I don’t hate anyone in the Jays FO. As a Phillies fan I have no issues saying I’m jealous that neither is on my team. He only needed 9 days. According to Baseball Reference, he needed to spent 24 days on the active roster to make it to 6 years of service time. Maybe he thinks they would ramp him up from the bullpen and doesn’t want to go that route. He is playing with a sense of purpose and, in my opinion, should replace Rosario as the starting shortstop. If he did everything by the books the other side is SOL. When you’re to worst hitter on your lineup are gimenez and Rosario. This has the potential to be a disaster for the NYMs. Kay pitching well in limited work, Woods-Richardson on the horizon. In return, the Blue Jays are set to receive pitching prospects Anthony Kay and Simeon Woods-Richardson. This is no surprise to Mets fans. He was critical of the whole situation throughout the spring but he needed another 24 days of service time for free agency. I don’t think acuna is the greatest player I would just trade Soto for him in a instant with zero reservations! Also, if they do file a grievance, win or lose, you can kiss any chance they might have had of signing him goodbye. The Long Island native is still eligible for one more year of arbitration before he becomes a free agent at the end of the 2020 season, so he was an attractive addition for teams playing both for this season and for the future. Not go in to last long. Wow Again, depends on who or what you believe. He only missed qualifying for free agency by 24 days last offseason. 3/$60? A contract year in which he will really want to build his value to get a big money deal in 2021. How do we know the Twins had a better offer? You look at Acuna’s stats and look for a hole you can poke in it and for some reason that one hole negates all the rest that Acuna does for the Braves. But there was no manipulation with regard to Stroman. The Cubs and Kris Bryant was probably the most blatant case of service time manipulation ever and they still didn’t rule in Bryant’s favor. Just hoping when the team is sold Van Lunchwagon is gone! What a disaster that deal was. Heck, it wouldn’t surprise me too much if they brought Stroman back in FA next offseason. Not by the Mets like other teams too. Probably wrong of me to assume that any player who just barely missed a full year of service time in their rookie season was service time manipulation. Stroman has always been fairly durable and the Mets figured he replaces wheeler, if they’re not contending they figured they could move him at the 2020 deadline or keep him and tender a QO. lol Mets. Did Mark and Co. actually move a trade chip at the perfect time. The decision puts a bow on the Mets’ end of last summer’s trade that brought Stroman to Queens. It’s not Stroman’s problem that he got traded to a team that didn’t manipulate his service time. Ironic that we are at the quarter pole and he announces. At least not on its own. Also, not sure Stro declines the QO if the Mets extend it. 4/$75? it his right to opt out. It’s about the contract. The only way for them to improve their rotation is to (over)spend. So, on that issue he does have the moral high ground. If he’s comes back from the calf tear and doesn’t do well it drastically affects the next contract. That is where I disagree. Chances are you’re right, but then again it’s the MLB draft, star players get drafted after the second round just about every year. He is a potentially stabilizing force. “Really good offense” has yet to be proven. But yes, Atkins not talking to the Twins was a huge blunder. (Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images). half of them think they have 28 already. Brodie has made numerous trades and signings and with the exception of Justin Wilson and JD Davis the rest have been busts. I do agree about the grievance. It’s almost as if teams don’t do the exact same thing to their top prospects breaking in to the majors! Also, how do you think it would look to potential free agents or draftees the Mets are trying to sign if they filed a grievance over this? The season is running out on him. He has no track record for 2020 and he wasn’t all that great in 2019. Being in the top 10 of an offessive position is CRAP. I’d rather have the two young guys. It’s been 17. He already had that right. He also was a key part in a second-half surge that saw the Mets finish as the best NL team to miss the postseason. He Needed to accrue some time on the major league roster in order to become a FA so as soon as he got it WHILE ON THE IL – he opts out.. Minter In Game 5 Of NLCS, Blue Jays Notes: Bichette, Shoemaker, Vlad, How To Set Up Notifications For Breaking News. I really like sto, i really feel he is a guy that u hate when he is on the other team but like when he is on yours. And the jays make out like bandits. One of the marquee starting pitchers is off the block as Blue Jays righthander Marcus Stroman was traded to the Mets on Sunday. Plenty of us said this at the time of the trade. What changed? This really does suck for Mets fans though. Bad numbers with RISP is ghe definition of a bad offense. The most promising aspect of the Mets season so far has been Gimenez. He never wanted to be a Met. Since it’s not an arm injury, the injury doesn’t play into free agency as much. The New York Mets have agreed on a trade to acquire Marcus Stroman from the Toronto Blue Jays, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. Sure, he didn’t win a World Series and that’s the most important hardware but given that his fingerprints were still all over Cleveland’s 2016 team, that’s pretty darn good for the limited resources he had during his time in Cleveland.
