Collins was interviewed a couple of weeks ago and had stated that one of the things the Mets are looking to do is work with Darnaud in the off season to get him hitting. Interestingly, when they traded Dickey to the Blue Jays he was the main guy in the trade and not Syndergaard. Yeah and now we have to wait to see what punishment MLB will hand out to Familia. I don't condone anyone hitting another person especial a woman but from the sounds of things it wasn't like the Reyes or Chapman situation but they will still need to suspend him. I do like Reed as the intermittent closer and we have Salas to handle the 8th. But looking for a bullpen arm is something they should consider. Maybe Wheeler if he is healthier enough can help out.
I like to say that I feel confident with the Mets brass that they will do all they can to sign Cespedes, but I am not feeling it. The only way I think he signs is if he wants to stay in NY because too many teams will bid much higher than the Mets. As fans we will hear why he got away, he wanted too many years, or we are trying to protect the nucleus of the team. If he sign elsewhere, I just hope it's in the AL. Of course, I hope I am wrong.
