The Mets Final Roster Is Never Complete On December 12th

IMG_5416photo by CeetarIt’s understandable to be frustrated with the Mets results over the last few years, but your frustration does not necessitate the Mets approaching the winter meetings, or the offseason in general, in any different way. They’re still going to do what they need to do, and aren’t going to let four random days in December force them into a move they’re not ready to make. In the digital age the advantage of having so many baseball people in one place at the same time is mostly negated by cellphones and the internet. Everyone’s available at any time, and there is even more pressure on GMs. I wonder if they even sleep. Did Brian Sabean finally cave and call Sandy Alderson at 3am, “Fine, you can have Wheeler.”?

 

There are no bonus points for getting things done this week. It’s great for the writers because there are a lot of people to talk to in one place, and there are things going on, but just because writers have more to say doesn’t mean there is any added obligation to make something happen for them.

 

It’s a long season, and the Mets have already started adding and moving pieces. Yes, there is work to do, and yes they’ve fielded an incomplete team in years past, but not completing the roster in December doesn’t lose them any games. Get back to me in April.
