I'm not thrilled with "summaries" that list the team's acquisitions but neglect to mention the departures. Yes, the Mets have signed three (veteran, overpaid) pitchers…but they've lost
six.
deGrom (Texas)
Walker (Phillies)
Joely Rodriguez (BoSox)
Bassitt, Lugo, Givens (unsigned)
Now perhaps the Mets are bursting with prospects who can take those slots. Perhaps they can even bring Givens back. (They appear to have given up on Bassitt and the Spin Doctor.). But it looks as if we're taking a hit in depth, at least.
(Also Adonis Medina walked, but I don't know it we had a spot for him.)
