Takeways from Metsies Demolition Night.

Mad Max is gone, but don't fear for your scheduled fireworks. There are enough guys left that put the ball on a stick.

Straight-up Mets move to get a player whose primary position is clogged by a $341M folly for the best part of another decade.

The Acuna kid has never played third base, which doesn't give me much hope that he'll start with that now.

Which brings me to the underwhelming Youth of America that is already here. Alvarez is rough around the edges, hacks a lot, but if he meets one, that meatball's on somebody else's plate the next borough over. He can stay. Maybe turn Narvaez into more bobbleheads instead.

Baty and Vientos remain utterly atrocious, and they can go back to Syracuse for all I care. Can't hit (either), can't field (either), are at best longshots to make the Mets roster's 2024 shirtless calendar for the lady fans (either). Vogie's Mr. August, I hear.

Can Ronny Mauricio play third base?

Has anybody heard of Ronny Mauricio lately?

No takers on Lindor?

I'm sure Uncle Steve will retain $129M of the salary if you offer another unheard-of rookie ball second-sacker.

I'd dump on Cookie Crumbles, but he's already been dumped on for 13 runs in his last 4.2 innings by teams with dubious pedigrees. Careful. Don't squish the chocolatey bits and the raspberries into the carpet, that **** is hard to clean.

The entire pitching staff can go for all I care. Bunch of tossers. Bundle Carrasco and Ottavino for a bag of used baseballs and you have already improved the team.

Everybody can go. In the wood chipper. Scant exceptions are: Pete (obviously), Squirrel (though he sucks it up this year), Nimmo (always a delight), and Alvarez.

Can we get Andres Gimenez back from Ohio? Pretty please?

No, we need a third baseman. Someone should call the agent of Todd Frazier from Toms River.

What the **** is D.J. Stewart doing on the roster, after all? He got pictures of Buck from their Baltimore days? Mets fans deserve better.

Mets fans deserve Johneshwy Fargas.
