PostSportsPlus: What this season’s free-agent signings tell us about the Mets’ front office, MLB’s delusional teams and the value of Jacob deGrom
The first is from Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman, who told me several years ago — before Los Angeles had won its only championship since 1988 in 2020 — “If only one team has a successful year , that’s miserable.”
The Mets’ stars played like stars. In the first season of his 10-year, $341 million extension, Francisco Lindor is going to finish around fifth for NL MVP. Max Scherzer, the highest per-annum player in history, might get down-ballot Cy Young votes. Edwin Diaz may get down-ballot votes for both MVP and Cy Young. Jacob deGrom arrived late to the season, but has pitched excellently. Pete Alonso is likely to finish in the top 10 in NL MVP voting.
Mark Canha is part of a free-agent haul for the Mets that has seen every addition contribute in a significant way.
After giving Javier Baez a $140 million contract, the Tigers find themselves in a similar spot at the bottom of the AL Central.The struggles of Baez and Bryant aren’t part of a larger 2016 Cubs championship thing, because Kyle Schwarber and Anthony Rizzo have been good free-agent buys. For example, the Giants and Red Sox are expected to be bold this offseason after going from 2021 playoff teams to among the most disappointing clubs this year. But if they make mistakes, they will absorb it regardless. Conversely, the Diamondbacks put a lot of interesting young players into the majors this year. Should they aggressively add veterans to try to speed up contention? That is more dubious. It is also unlikely.It was the most guaranteed to a pitcher last offseason, and the $43.
