Spring please. Even though Bauer would be sick. Being a Mets fan might officially pay off soon
Bauer wants over $30-40 million for 4-5 year contract LOL. I'll pass on that. I know he's probably just throwing out high numbers, but I'm really starting to get irritated by how he acts like a child on social media.
I'm very wary on giving up over $125 for a player who may or may not play CF that much longer. Springer would be nice though, would love him here.
That being said, any thoughts on bringing back Marisnick?
I'M FUCKING
NUTTING HARD AS FUCK RIGHT NOW.
WHERE THE
FUCK ARE ALL THESE SO
CALLED METS FANS RIGHT NOW?!?!?
