Jaime Jaquez Jr.

And just made me feel so low as a Mets fan.

Like, that started in New York.

That meme, that thing.

theme that dominance all started in New York you know that obviously was the biggest blunder I think of the offseason was losing him knowing that the team wanted to retain him and so that's been difficult to see him go to I wouldn't even describe the Dodgers as our rivals I would just describe them as the daddies of Major League Baseball right now but that's that's that's tough to swallow the Alonzo and Nimmo thing let's talk about it okay um

I ultimately was okay with both of those guys moving on.

I still am.

The double shot of losing Diaz and Alonso in a very contained period of time did hurt a lot.

And I do think Alonso, I think, is going to be really good this year and probably next year too.

I would worry about the back half of that contract as I have taunted Mallory Rubin a little bit.

The Nimmo thing...

is interesting.

I don't know how much thought you've given this, but Marcus Simeon thus far, who has traded straight up one-to-one for Nimmo to the Rangers, has played good defenses and has been abysmal at the plate.

Abysmal.

And I think it's not unreasonable to wonder if he is cooked because he is coming off of consecutive sub-700 OPS seasons.

And if he is, that is like a huge drag on the lineup if he can't hit it all.

Well, I mean, Brett Beatty could be playing second base right now.

I like Brett Beatty.

That's certainly an option.

I think it's hard to know what the Jenga tower would be if you didn't do that particular trade.

And they did that particular trade for a reason, right?
