Would like to see him take some reps there in the spring to see how it feels, especially with Semien not being promised anything next year. I think all are valuable in the DH spot, Mets just need to be thoughtful about deploying them there vs in the field, and have the roster flexibility to do it.

Not for their defense at all. Soto and Bo should have been DHing more this season than they did; they are both bottom 4 in DRS. Lindor wound up there this year also, but ultimately he’ll have to start accepting a few more days off his feet.

Sato figures to wind up at 1st base long term. I would go after him regardless of Bo’s decision. Bo leaves then you have Sato + Baty for defense at 3rd. If Bo stays then put him at 1B. Either start the Soto move to 1st as well and sell high on Young, or platoon JY for defense/Sato for offense.

We have at least 3 DHs: Soto, Bichette, Lindor. The problem was Polanco hogging the DH spot because he was unable to play the field, while simultaneously being the worst offensive player on the team.

Definitely a possibility, but hoping they have finally learned their lesson, we shall see I guess.

The hitting coach changes yesterday are a good start, no offense to Albert. Probably the first time in years we will have streamlined down to a single hitting coach. And there were enough positives outside of Peralta 🙄 to justify keeping the pitching staff.

Sorry, it’s the “they treat me like a king here” part that really rubbed me the wrong way about it. As though the Mets didn’t put him out there on Opening Day at the top of the rotation. There was no question his value or position here until he couldn’t go more than 3 mediocre innings.

oldpandadayz.bsky.social @oldpandadayz.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Again he could have chosen a neutral response and instead chose to throw a coaching staff he didn’t get along with under the bus. And then brag about being treated “like a king” elsewhere. And took zero accountability for his own performance. I have zero respect for that. Good riddance to him.

oldpandadayz.bsky.social @oldpandadayz.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
I thought his comments were despicable and I hope he gets rocked tomorrow. Took zero accountability for his own lack of execution and thanked the Rays for stroking his ego. Could have just said it didn’t work out how anyone hoped. Especially after all his good guy BS at the beginning of the season.

oldpandadayz.bsky.social @oldpandadayz.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
I understand the return for him and I don’t question trading him. It’s taking zero accountability for the fact that regardless of coaching he failed to execute here, and then praising the Rays for stroking his ego. I don’t root for the Yanks, but I hope he gets rocked tomorrow.

oldpandadayz.bsky.social @oldpandadayz.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
I wish Freddy Peralta all the worst after those comments on SNY. Just despicable, and taking zero accountability for himself. And shame on him for trying to convince #Mets fans he was a decent guy. #MetsSky

And yes, pitchers are fragile cry babies who deserve zero sympathy. But more likely both sides would benefit from rule adjustments to pitches in the margins around the strike zone border. The technology available now can accommodate that. Would also make umps feel a tad bit better.

oldpandadayz.bsky.social @oldpandadayz.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Hitters are still at a tremendous disadvantage and the wild offensive stats this year reflect that. Facing the highest velocities possible and they are basically incentivized to swing now that the alternative is being called out on a pitch that caught 8/10ths of an inch of the exterior zone border.
000
oldpandadayz.bsky.social @oldpandadayz.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Freddy was a complete bust. He should owe the Mets for a half season of mediocre 3 inning starts. And if he thinks he’ll get anything close to what he was looking for at the start of the season long-term then he’s out of his mind, even with a few decent playoff appearances.
010
oldpandadayz.bsky.social @oldpandadayz.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
I think given the off season to actually prepare for a utility role Baty will be in a better position to succeed, rather than thinking it would be something completely different as it was this last off season. And some more time to adapt to the analytics they have been giving him at the plate.
011
oldpandadayz.bsky.social @oldpandadayz.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Never had issue with him or his attitude, just that his Mets tenure was riddled with too many absences. Never stayed on the field long enough and healthy enough when we needed him most. But might be a good option, and he does coming from a playing background like Green.

Ya think? And for 3/4ths of a season of “Bichette lite” and worse defense at 3rd 🙄 #Mets #MetsSky

Attaboy for Bichette for being a top 4 worst defender on this team this year 🙄 along with Semien, Lindor and Soto. Alvy is also in the mix there. #Mets #MetsSky

This whole nonsense sucked whatever life was left out of this team this year. Yeah it’s only a few weeks, but they were playing decent ball for each other and having some fun spoiling. Pete came back and everything seems awful, and now we have to suffer through Philly this weekend. 😔

Almost got a chance to hit at least last night except for Soto ending the game. And they should have subbed him in for Vientos, who has horrible numbers against Rodon.

oldpandadayz.bsky.social @oldpandadayz.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
From the MetsSky feed to the coaches ears, I hope so. And I agree about the injury risk as well. If their goal is keeping his bat in the lineup it makes the most sense as part time 1stB/DH.

oldpandadayz.bsky.social @oldpandadayz.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
They have got to start converting Soto to 1st base. He pulled up a foot short of that ball, like he didn’t feel it was worth the effort. #Mets #MetsSky

Agreed, I doubt they could get a lot for him in a trade anyway and he has an option left if needed next year. Mets Mailbag also mentioned they threw a lot of new analytics at him early on (I assume at the plate) so could explain the early season, but feels like it’s clicking for him now.

Brett Baty just destroyed a baseball. On a 3-2 count, the 3B takes a Sandy Alcantara fastball 426 feet to CF at 111.7 mph. NY now leads 6-0 heading to the bottom of the 3rd inning. #Mets

oldpandadayz.bsky.social @oldpandadayz.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
We pay him enough to try it. He’ll look worse out there on defense with Benge and Ewing every day. If Bo stays get Sato anyway and convert him to the oppo corner and sell high on JY. A Soto/Sato combo at 1B long term would be 💥 Either way Soto also hedges the JY bet for next year.

“Semien is also costing the Mets runs on the bases, while his -2 DRS is the only negative mark of his career in qualified seasons since he began playing second base regularly for the Blue Jays in 2021.” #Mets #MetsSky

oldpandadayz.bsky.social @oldpandadayz.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
They should have been using him in LF from the beginning. If they intend to keep using him in a utility role then use him there, and maybe give him a heads up to work on it in the offseason rather than shagging him a few balls in spring training and declaring him ready like they did this year.
000
oldpandadayz.bsky.social @oldpandadayz.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
They should prep him for the move to 1st base. You can hedge the Jared Young bet next year- if he regresses offensively you have Soto and you have Young for defense to take the pressure off Soto. Also being out there consistently with Ewing and Benge will only make him look worse.

Not only playing them off eachother, for Baty especially he never got a position. They assumed he could fit anywhere. They have royally messed with his head IMO

We’ll have to face him in a couple of weeks, but he’s out of the NL East and it feels like the Cedric Mullins/Baltimore/OF cycle from hell is complete.
