Very pleased to be able to officially introduce Luis Severino
and Harrison Bader uh as official members of the Mets
, there's no doubt I want to remain in New
York. And again, I'm just extremely happy that
the David and the Mets organization gave me, that
gave me that opportunity. I, and moving,
excited to this team to join me with, uh
the New York mates first on sevi and this is
a pitcher that, um, clearly this market and
all of, you know, very well. Uh
you've seen him uh at the top of the game
and when he's at, at the top of his
game, um, he's one of the best pitchers
in the league and we believe he can get back
there. We know he's worked exceptionally hard this off
season and we think he's, he's poised for a
really successful year with us next year. I love
being in pressure. You know, that's why,
uh you know, I was in New York for
a long time. Uh And like I say,
I'm happy, you know, to be this organization
and the meds because I, I want to continue
to have, you know, to feel that pressure
when I'm not doing good, I want, you
know, they let me know so I can get
better. You can start as a 21 to one
. It doesn't matter. And at the end,
we all have the same goal is to win every
time the game in the bowl. You are number
one that day. So you're gonna go out there
, you're gonna compete and you're going to give you
100% in terms of Harrison badder, another player clearly
that, um, that all of you are familiar
with Harrison is unquestionably one of the best defenders in
all of baseball. Um, he can change the
game with his defense and he has the help us
win games in a variety of different ways. Opportunity
was most important. Um And then from there,
you know, let's be real to, to be
able to be in New York and to continue my
dream, which is to ultimately win a championship in
New York. I'm just looking forward to taking full
advantage of it and, and diving into it day
in and day out and I think the atmosphere and
what New York can bring out of the people who
rise up to the challenge of it. I think
it pays off. So I couldn't be happier than
it's in these colors. Marcus Stroman and the New
York Yankees have had some substantive conversations in recent days
and the Yankees indeed at this hour are the favorites
to sign Marcus Stroman. And what a great story
that would be. Of course, he's already pitched
for the New York Mets in his hometown. The
graduate of Patch on Medford High school on Long Island
could be staying in New York just changing the uniform
Mets, the Yankees Inman, I think fits the
Yankees very well. A lot of different ways we
know first and foremost, they have got a lot
of work to do in that rotation. They traded
away Michael King in the Juan Soto deal, Luis
Severino actually did the opposite going from the Yankees to
the Mets. Certainly a need for more veteran pitching
. This could be one of those deals that happens
in the next couple of days. I would say
that again to recap the news that Stroman to the
Yankees is the most likely of the Yankees situations.
Right now, Chicago White Sox are engaging multiple teams
. Matter of fact, their front office has acknowledged
that all 29 teams have touched base with them regarding
Dylan C of the asking price is reportedly very high
and it probably should be, he's a couple of
years removed from being one of the most dominant pitchers
in all major league baseball. The White Sox are
in a really interesting situation. They certainly have to
hold out for the most value they possibly can get
, they have a lot of holes to fill in
in this little reboot that they're going through. But
I do think this is an opportunity to cash in
on that. I would be very concerned if I
were them to let this thing drag in through the
course of the season. Justin Turner is someone who
for every clubhouse that he is in his experience and
knowledge is valued greatly. I mentioned the Cubs,
that's a team that in a very competitive division that
they can certainly win. And you consider where Turner
could play and impact your ball club is the first
is a third h he has that ability to be
a tremendous influence in the clubhouse. And certainly on
the field, Cubs, Blue Jays and Giants,
even with those deep roots with the Los Angeles Dodgers
Lauren, the best fit might be with the Dodgers
forever rivals the San Francisco Giants for more on these
and other stories. Keep it locked. Mlb.com.
It's baseball everywhere.
