This is a mess of the Met$’ own making with neither Fred nor Jeff Wilpon to blame.
“I do want to be clear that it’s not a rebuild, it’s not a fire sale, it’s not a liquidation,” Eppler said before Justin Verlander gained his 250th career victory in a 5-2 triumph over the Nationals at Citi Field. “Generally, with clubs that are going to go through a rebuild, you have to endure five, six, seven years of losing, and we don’t have the appetite for that.
But when Eppler was asked if the Mets could be competitive if they trade another significant piece or two prior to Tuesday’s 6 p.m. trade deadline, the GM said, “That’s hard to say.” This is not 1983 when a young core including Doc Gooden, Darryl Strawberry, Ron Darling, Wally Backman, Sid Fernandez and Rafael Santana would meld with veterans to cut a swath through the NL for most of the rest of the decade.
More to the point, will Alonso buy into the vision and sign a long-term extension when he becomes eligible to hit the open market after next season? The Mets may not intend to conduct a liquidation sale, but they may be forced into adopting that strategy between now and spring training.
