Was the Betances Signing Worth the Risk for the Mets?

Reading Time: 4 minutesTo the shock of all Mets fans, Brodie Van Wagenen and the front office invested in a star free agent reliever. And it wasn’t just the usual cheap solution that the Mets traditionally have signed; it was star Yankee relief pitcher Dellin Betances; who is now heading to Queens on a 1 year $10.5 million contract.  James Wagner from the New York Times broke down the interesting contract details: “Betances’s deal is creatively constructed, since he is recovering from a torn left Achilles’ tendon that prematurely ended his 2019 season.

How the Mets Should Approach the Remainder of this Offseason

Reading Time: 3 minutesLast off-season, Mets fans witnessed their team being extraordinarily busy between trades and free agent signings. Brodie Van Wagenen was hired as their general manager after being the co-head of the CAA (Creative Artists Agency) sports’ division.

Why the Yankees Should be Wary About Breaking the Bank for Gerrit Cole

Reading Time: 3 minutesWith today’s signing of Stephen Strasburg for 7 years $245 million, which already shattered the record for annual salary for a pitcher, many people believe that Gerrit Cole is going to receive an offer that far surpasses that already massive deal for Strasburg.  While I myself am a Yankee fan, and believe that in order for them to win a World Series, they definitely are going to have to address their starting pitching (or lack thereof); I believe that it would be a grave mistake and it would be irresponsible for the Yankees to pay Cole...
