Wtf????!!! They in first snd apparently they want to get back to being a serious contender.
He waived AND he staying for the whole contract?
So if healthy they got the line up the Mets could have had?
Damn. I mean I get it Mets basically giving up on this season
Cohen better understand you can't just buy yourself a chip as much as folk want to say NYY did that.
You need a strong farm system, scouts, and GM
Mets trade Max Scherzer to Rangers in exchange for prospect Luisangel Acuna
Mad Max is on his way to Texas and the Mets are in full-scale sell-mode.
nypost.com
and the mets lack in all three
their org culture is so bad they ruin great players that come to the team
Coach will be fired after the season
I feel like Cohen being such a fan boy will actually be a detriment.
He has enough to get the BEST
But he also has enough money to get played into hiring the wrong people to run that team
He needed to give Theo a blank check.
And these media folk were LOVING that hire too.
But you gotta stop recycling
Get some new blood.
And I'm actually a fan of Buck but has he ever won a championship?
he still has ppl(scouts, medical doctors, employees in the org) from the wilpon regime
when he hires a president of baseball ops he needs to clean out everyone and start from scratch
I was so happy when they hired that fuck. He burns out very quickly and everyone tunes him out. It's happened everywhere he's been.
They're going all in & really trying to win that division from the Astros. Astros need to try to get Verlander back, the pitching is not strong as last season.
The Blue Jays decided to intentionally walk Shohei Ohtani four times after Matt Chapman's outburst
They really listened to him.

One of the game’s best and most honored players in the 1960s and into the ’70s, he nevertheless felt racism’s sting early in his career in Philadelphia.
Na we wasn’t gonna pay him that contract, lol we got him back for the cheap
yep this confirms the mets are the dumbest team in baseball
I was so happy when they hired that fuck. He burns out very quickly and everyone tunes him out. It's happened everywhere he's been.
Scherzer: Mets said '24 would be 'transition' year
Max Scherzer said he waived his no-trade clause to be dealt to the Rangers after conversations with the Mets' front office made it clear it viewed 2024 as a "transition" year before looking to compete in 2025 and 2026.
"[Eppler's] answer was that the team is now kind of shifting vision and that they're looking to compete now for 2025 and 2026, and that 2024, that it was not going to be a reload situation in New York, and that it was going to be more of a transition in 2024," Scherzer said when he was introduced by the Rangers on Tuesday, two days after the deal was announced.
Since that was different than what he had heard from Cohen, Scherzer called the owner.
"He basically articulated the same vantage point. That was the new vision for the Mets, that was the new timeline that they were identifying," the pitcher said. "So once it became, that's the vision for the Mets, then I said, 'yes, I will waive my no-trade clause underneath those pretenses.'"
Justin Verlander, another three-time Cy Young Award winner, followed Scherzer to the AL West race on Tuesday, when he returned to the reigning World Series champion Houston Astros in a deal just before the trade deadline.
"We did get to talk right there at the end of just understanding that there's been a vision change in the Mets," Scherzer said of his twice former teammate.
New York's record-high payroll was a projected $365 million just more than a month ago, but that hasn't bought a winning team. The Mets went into Tuesday night at 50-55, which was 17½ games out of first place in the NL East and six games -- and several teams -- below the final wild-card spot.
The Mets are paying Texas $35.51 million over the next 14 months as part of the Scherzer trade, leaving the Rangers in effect responsible for $22.5 million owed to the 39-year-old pitcher through next season. Scherzer opted in for 2024 before the deal with the Rangers was completed.
Mets closer David Robertson had already been traded to Miami for two minor leaguers before Scherzer made his final start for New York on Friday night. Scherzer said he had already gotten texts from players he knew across the league talking about trade offers and asking if he would accept them.
The Mets will send Houston around $35.5 million at least, covering a majority of the remaining roughly $57.5 million Verlander is guaranteed. New York will pay around $4.2 million this year and $31.3 million in 2024.
If Verlander pitches 140 innings next year and triggers his $35 million conditional player option for 2025, the Mets would pay another $17.5 million if Verlander exercises the option.
