I mean yeah if you're a bagholder his season was fine but for a Mets fan this ended in disaster, Soto was not good at the beginning of the season and the team is closer to 4th place than 1st. Playoff prospects are not bright rn, Stearns and Cohen have alot to do.

They literally missed the playoffs on the last day, despite having no pitching. In no way does that suggest their future playoff prospects are "not bright". But keep trollin!

No such thing as a one man show anywhere, but everyone knows Stearns had a lot to do with setting the team up for success. Except for you. Keep trollin!

Oh the Mets trolling won't end anytime soon. Maybe get a different cook if Stearns spends 425m and ends up with no pitching.

Everyone needs to chill. Soto is okay. He will be okay in the future as a Met.

6.2 WAR added this season…not too shabby

That's hilarious. He is sitting at home watching the playoffs while the Yankees, without him, are in them. Yankees fans are well over Juan Soto! With Soto, the Yankees (under cheap Hal) would never have gotten Bellinger and Fried. I'd rather have both of them on the team than Juan Soto.

[brewtown107]

Clearly Yankees fans are not over Soto at all, lol. That much is obvious, based upon how you all have shown yourselves in this thread. But yes--this is your time to shine. Can't deny you the pleasure of it.

He had a very good, not great season. Very slow start, but finished strong.

Writing was on the wall for the team in August. The pitching was bottom barrel after the ASB. You’re not going to win games with a team ERA of 5+. Really pathetic considering how much money was thrown at this team to win now. I don’t even know what they do in the offseason. They need half a new rotation and a complete overhaul of the bullpen outside of Diaz.

What happened to the pitching lab? The dumbest move the Mets didn't make was trading for Crochet, but I guess they didn't want to have to sign him to a long term deal.

He broke into the top 500 (482) all time WAR leaders this season. He’s only 26! Hopefully he will break the top 350 next season

Disappointing return from a COMC PSA submitted card but still love it.



Crap grade + incorrect flip. The card is clearly out of /12.

This is the 4th incorrect flip in just a few months and I'm getting tired of it.

I’m sorry for the experience, and I share it. I submitted 10 PC cards for grading about 6 months ago, and 7 came back with incorrect flips. PITA

Bump. Too far back

Latest Soto pickup

[dodgerfanjohn]

You'd think the guy had a horrific season.

He's going to finish 3rd in NL MVP voting.

.396/.525/.921

160 OPS+, 42 homeruns. 6.2 WAR

What more do you want?

Enters age 27 season with 42 WAR. So probably the best player in the NL that isnt Ohtani.
