I'll be honest.

Guilty as a Met fan, so I want to say shame on me.

And F you to Mets management for making fans think they were doing something.

Because you let a fan favorite in Pete Alonzo go.

You get a vibe setter and one of the best closers in baseball go.

You trade away a respectable guy that's been an all-star a couple times, always good for 20-something homers, good on defense.

Brandon Nimmo, you traded him for an older, washed-up player.

But honestly, did it all start with overpaying for Juan Soto and revolving everything around him?

No, because Juan Soto's the only good thing on this team.

No, as a player, for sure.

But he's not fitting in.

I like Juan Soto.

Maybe Francisco Lindor's not fitting in.

But Lindor, yeah, that's... Well, that's a question in itself, right?

It was Lindor's team at first.

Juan Soto's the new guy.

And people are saying that he needs to take more leadership, but that's not who Juan Soto is.

Like, this is really bad, guys.

This is like a sickness, and that's the...

Well, I guess the downside of the beauty of sports, because when a team is clicking, you could visibly see the chemistry and how beautiful baseball is when it's played the right way or when a team is gelling like Magellan, when a team's winning and they're having fun.
