Rusty Shackleford

What would a Sano contract extension look like? Would he accept? Is it necessary?

Even after missing out on the top starting pitchers, they could have followed the 2015 Royals model and solidified the bullpen. Treinen and Betances were available. Both were hurt last year and there would be some risk. They took the cheaper and less risky route by signing Romo and Clippard. The front office is too conservative and is afraid to take chances.

The Mets wouldn’t take that deal. They have too many corner outfielders already. They want a center fielder.

Ryu is not even close to an ace. He was a # 3 on the Dodgers. I don’t mind the Twins signing him, but he won’t solve our rotation problems.
