Allstarjim Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Accepts a 3 yr deal with an opt out after 1 season. The Nationals offered 5 years, I guess Cespedes wanted to come back to the Mets badly. With this rotation, and the re-tooled lineup and bullpen, this has huge potential. Here is a theoretical lineup: 1 Granderson RF 2 Walker 2B 3 Cespedes CF 4 Conforto LF 5 Wright 3B 6 Duda 1B 7 d'Arnaud C 8 Cabrera SS This on the back of signing Bastardo to serve as setup man. Mets will theoretically get a full season out of Conforto, Cespedes, Matz, Addison Reed, Jerry Blevins, and get Wheeler back for half a season or so, get Josh Edgin back. New additions (upgrades) at SS with Asdrubal Cabrera and at 2B with Neil Walker. They signed Bastardo as a dominant set up man and de Aza for outfield depth. This team could win 100 games.

Allstarjim Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 This is a football spike on a fantastic offseason for the Mets. Now they just need to keep this group together and hopefully get some good luck with the injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringe Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 That's good- De Aza is not an every day player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 He wouldn't have been even if Cespedes didn't re-sign. He would've platooned with Lagares, played 4th outfielder. Now he's a fifth outfielder, which is good for the Mets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jranieli Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It's quite unbelievable that he left 9 figures on the table to resign with the Mets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
