PORT JEFF, NY- Greetings, let’s get into today’s topics: Mets Offseason and Giants Trade Deadline
Mets Offseason
Skubal to the Mets? In the midst of a potential lockout, the biggest free agent on the market has a strong possibility of being a Met. Owner Steve Cohen is reportedly set to match any offer Skubal gets in free agency. Tarik Skubal would be an incredible add to this team and would give the Mets their first true ace since deGrom, and pairing Skubal with Nolan McLean would give the Mets perhaps the best 1-2 punch in baseball. It’s crazy to think about after the horrible 2026 season, but the Mets have just the 6th best odds to win the World Series. This roster is still very talented and with more additions likely in free agency, not to mention a full season of Andy Green as manager, this could be a very competitive team in 2027. Assuming, of course, that there is a season to be played
Giants Trade Deadline
As the weeks go on the NFC East becomes weaker and weaker. The Cowboys somehow found a way to lose to the Cardinals last week, giving the Giants a commanding lead over the division. Still, I really don’t think it’s in this teams best interest going forward to trade away high picks to make a push towards the playoffs. This team needs to do some self evaluation and realize they aren’t good enough to win a Super Bowl yet, they can build towards being good enough by continuing to draft well and make the right signings in free agency. Having said all that, I have almost zero faith that this front office will think that way and they’ll almost certainly trade away first round draft capital for Jonathan Taylor.
