Ryan Clifford will be better than Gilbert anyway.

edit: OOF

Crane said make the deal happen. Now lock up King Tuck.

Losing Gilbert stings, but again, the organization is higher on Clifford and they're very high on Baez as well. There's lots of outfield depth. I think the fanbase overvalues Gilbert just a tad.

Don't get me wrong- the dude could turn out to be an all star. But he's far from a sure thing.

And possibly a 3rd if his option vests

So Cohen is clearing a massive amount of payroll for the next 2 plus years. I wonder what Japanese superstar FA to be he is about to redirect it to?

That's a steep price

Hope the Mets are covering a chunk of that contract

This is a huge overpay. Mets better be covering 80% of the deal.

That's the only way it's OK. You HAVE to give tuck 8+ years now

I think he's a leader in more of a vibes/professionalism way than actually trying to be one.
Exactly. Lead by example. And have your teammates literally love you.

I was kind of ready to see how Gilbert develops for Houston, but I'm am perfectly happy to have a bulldog solidify the rotation. I agree with a poster above, that more than "leadership" JVs professional mentality should rub off on a couple pitchers.

Rally Kate is back on the menu, boys!

That shockwave you felt a few minutes ago was Crane letting his nuts hang after ponying up for 60mm+ over this and the next season

Yeah. The quality of this deal is something we won't know for a few years.
