Sounds like the Mets are going
to get Francisco Landau heat
from the Indians and they're
going to give up those two
shortstop Rosario Jimenez.
There's a couple of prospects
involved here too.
We'll get to the Indians in a
little while then at the theme
and that star.
So then door is going to be a
New York Mets.
That is a Tingler.
Right now they're going to be
dancing up and down Queens
Boulevard from Ude opening day.
That is a huge deal for the New
York Mets.
Have been looking for a huge
star for a while.
They do have Allonzo.
But you know they've been
looking to really make a lot of
noise to show that this new
ownership group is here to stay
to be in the deal with the
Yankees.
And Mets did what the Dodgers
did with Mookie Betts.
They brought a guy in who's
going to got a year left on his
contract.
But they brought a guy in who
you know they're going to sign.
It's going to cost him 250
million.
But this owner has got 14
billion and he puts his money
where his mouth is.
This man is going to be a New
York man for a long period of
time.
He's not going to leave New York
City.
National League.
Great ballpark.
There's a there's a new sheriff
in town and that's a good out
here to stay.
And Lindau is going to stay
here.
Now listen.
I mean you know has a heart
rending here.
Who knows.
But I mean if everything goes
according to plan why wouldn't
these guys.
Heck of a player.
The Mets have found themselves a
shortstop.
They can be their poster boy for
the next six or seven years.
I mean there's nothing else to
say.
This is a wonderful wonderful
man who trained everybody here
in New York is going to love it.
He's going to be on the front
pages.
And that's saying something in
this era.
He's going to be on the front
pages of tomorrow's newspapers
in New York and some of the back
pages.
And I maybe not.
I might be a little rough right
now but you get the idea.
They are going to go dancing on
the streets anywhere around
Queens.
And I met Yankee fans are going
to like it.
There's got to shut up about it
and they get LeMahieu back.
And maybe this does spur the
Yankees because they hate when
the Mets get all this back page
information maybe the Yankees
then we'll go do what they have
to do to make sure they bring in
LeMahieu back.
They don't have Lindau as a sort
of a backup in fact.
LeMahieu go somewhere else.
We'll think about the Mets for a
second though.
This is about them.
You know they got J.D. Davis.
They can fiddle around with
playing somewhere Aloni infield
if they have to play my left
play Maluf third base.
They got an indoor shortstop.
They put McNeil over and second
still get Alonzo sit there at
first baseman.
A new catcher.
McCann.
You throw in Dominic Smithwick
can stick him out.
Left field Conforti can play
right.
And I can play center.
It makes no difference if it's
Brendan Nimo or whatever it
might be.
The Mets have enough offense
there and enough pizzazz in that
lineup where they don't need
really another player.
And so I'm sure they could use
another pitcher.
And let me not forget Carlos
Carrasco comes in his trade as
well.
Maybe they can use him as their
they really still need a second
starter.
They got a lot of third fourth
starters.
I'm going to leave Syndergaard
out for the moment but they
could use really a real you know
a Robin to bat man.
I don't have that.
Their pitching he's losing
great.
But boy their lineup is
excellent.
And I think Landau is going to
flourish in New York City.
I think he's going to love it
here as the Mets fan is going to
adore him.
He's going to be fun to watch.
He's expressive.
He's got personality.
He's going to hit twenty five
home runs.
He's going to play a magnificent
position is going to be looked
at as a savior.
I don't think any Mets fan is
going to be a problem with that.
I don't think they do a lot of
Bregman that either.
I think it's a match made in
heaven.
And I think also to me I'm this
going on past thoughts here in
this off season like McCann and
Rio Machado I think the Mets
were discussing Springer and
they realized it's Springers
asking price is too high.
And I think it is rindo money.
Really.
So George Springer I think the
asking price is too high.
The Mets and the heck with it
pivot and we'll go somewhere
else.
And I think that's why they went
out on the endorse.
I don't think Springer right now
is in the Mets plants.
I don't think the Mets are going
to bring the and then sign
Springer to a huge contract and
then have to pay Lindau 20 30
million dollars at the end of
the year.
I don't see the Mets doing that.
I don't see them having a twenty
five made out of centerfielder
and a 30 minute shortstop.
I don't see that myself.
Now I could be wrong but I think
this is the Mets big Christmas
present from the owner is this
guy.
And I don't think Springer now.
I don't think his option is
going to be New York.
That's me.
That's just first thought.
Nobody's talking to me.
That's just me as a looking at
this from a baseball fan.
And that's the way they did this
with McCann.
They obviously talk to Miyamoto
his asking players Bob way too.
I and they said the heck with
it.
Let's save a little money.
Go to McCann.
You might get a guy who'd a long
term the younger who might be
just blossoming coming into his
prime.
And the same thing may have
happened here.
Yeah we'd love to have Springer.
But he's going to want you know
twenty five million dollars a
year for seven years.
We're not going there six years.
We're not going there.
We can get in the door when we
get the first year at 18 20
moeny younger than Springer.
He plays his shortstop position.
He's in his prime and everything
else we can you know get a
couple more years out of him.
Plus he's a big toy.
Yeah let's guy.
He's better than them.
He's better than Springer.
Let's go out.
Deivi given to an ad.
That's my take.
So I don't think Springer is
coming to New York.
But right now it Lindau.
Is this a wonderful wonderful
move from AMEP perspective.
