Bauers rejecting a $23M qualifying offer only to sign a deal worth $14.5M AAV tells you all you need to know.
If it were up to me Zac Thornton would be slated for AAA to start the year. The goal this offseason should be to hoard as many quality innings as possible and this allows you to bring in another high-impact SP and further deepen the staff. It's not a knock on him, it's just math.

"If there was one glaring takeaway from this week, it's that nearly everybody in the game expects Skubal to sign with the Mets.
'I don't know who else is really even in the conversation,' an NL executive said."
GM Meetings lay groundwork for 'crazy couple of weeks'

This is the way 👍
One thing was clear from the GM meetings after speaking with several MLB people , that the Mets are casting a wide net in their search for pitching, in addition to meeting with Skubal. And the sense was they will try and sign or trade for MULTIPLE SP, not just one. Also, adding a RHH bat is a need but a lesser priority.

Per @jonheyman, the Mets have checked in on A.J. Minter.
Minter appeared in 23 games last season for the Mets with a 2.35 ERA before being traded to the Twins.
I’m not worried about what David Stearns has to say in front of the media. There is no way he lets the 2027 season go to shit on account of Marcus Semien. Barring a miraculous turnaround they will be quick to cut their losses and move on.

On this #VeteransDay, let us all take time to recognize all those who have served our country to protect our freedom.
To all those brave men and women, both home and abroad, we sincerely thank you for your service, today and every day.

The Padres new owners are very motivated and are going to want to make a statement. They finished the year red hot and if they got through Milwaukee I think they would’ve won it all. It would not surprise me if Skubal ends up in San Diego.

"I think we have to be open for both. We have to evaluate all opportunities in any offseason"
David Stearns was asked about how comfortable he is spending at the top of the free agent starting pitcher market versus exploring the trade market to add to the Mets' rotation:

The Mets believe they are set at second base, David Stearns said, with Marcus Semien and Brett Baty returning and several prospects (Rojas, Pitre, Voit) on the way.
They'd like to add at first base. That could be the only position to receive an upgrade outside of pitching staff.

"Every situation is unique. It's been also well-publicized, even since I've been here, we've engaged in extremely long-term negotiations for pitchers. We will do so again, but situation matters. The specific circumstance matters. We do have to look at every individual pitcher on a case-by-case basis."

"Having a complete rotation is really important. That includes having pitchers who can successfully get you through a postseason, get you through a playoff series. We've seen over and over again in the playoffs that can be constructed in a variety of different ways. We're open to doing it in any way possible."

The Steve Cohen factor is "super real" if the Mets aggressively pursue Tarik Skubal, says @Chelsea_Janes.
"I think he'll talk David Stearns into being really competitive."
JohnnyMets213 retweeted
The Mets will meet with Tarik Skubal at some point next week, per @JonHeyman
Skubal will be holding multiple meetings in California as he weighs his options in free agency

Mets need to go all in for Tarik Skubal despite all the reasons not to trib.al/EblYUKX
