The Mets are paying all but $22.5 million of the salary as a part of the deal, a source told Feinsand, meaning New York will cover a total of $35 million through the end of 2024.

What a frickin joke! Scherzer for 2 seasons of playoff chances for 22.5 million in exchange for a AA shortstop who plays the same position as another guy you've signed for 2 endless eons and are hugely overpaying.

If the Mets are committing to a re-build, why wouldn't you shitcan the guy who built the scrapheap you're trying to get rid of? I could see hanging on to Eppler (and Buck) until the end of the season if you were playing for a post season spot, but what's the point of moving on if you're keeping the same front office team that put you in this spot to begin with? This team has totally lost its way. The only silver lining is that Cohen and his massive ego has been shown for the embarassment that he is, to Mets fans and baseball in general. Every single organisation in MLB is loving it!
