I assume you mean Baez. He also had a 2+ week spell in June (with the Cubbies) where he hit .111; which one is it going to be more often than the other?
I have thought for YEARS when I saw him flailing and flailing and flailing, oh, dear baseball gods, please don't put him on the Mets, please, no, don't, please, I'm begg- Mets trade for him.
And due to the time difference and the Cubs' being what they are, I saw the Cubs *a lot*. And I saw Baez flail *a lot*.

You're stuck with Lindor and McCann, but everyone else should be fair game. Yes, EVEN deGrom. Especially if you can still get a nice prospect haul for him, as unlikely as that sounds.

Nooo. Not Pete! I want to keep Pete ...!
...which would continue to ruin his career and prevent him from playing on a team that actually deserves his polar beary goodness, but that is not MY main concern.

We have a farm?
The Lindor deal is already so dead it stinks all the way to Philly, where they paid Harper LESS for MORE years and get ... oh just look at their stat lines, they're hardly the same species..... -.-
