35 Years of Misery & Counting
Escobar had a great September in 2022, provided excellent defense at 3rd and from what everybody has said, was a great clubhouse guy and teammate. But with Baty on the team, Escobar still struggling offensively and this season on the brink of being over, it made absolute sense to trade him now.
So basically he was damaged goods when he chose to sign with Texas…thank goodness for Mets fans he left especially with how we’re starting off so far in 2023.

Former MLB All-Star pitcher Matt Harvey will be pitching loans instead of baseballs.
After deciding to step away from baseball last month, Harvey has decided to pursue a career in commercial real estate.
According to the New York Post, Harvey has joined Newmark, a real estate firm, as a managing director of the company’s multifamily debt origination and advisory unit.
I still think Harvey should have tried being a closer, but hey I’m glad he’s able to bounce back on his feet so quick and wish him the best.
You can’t tell me that the Braves don’t try harder against the Mets.
Tomas Nido is the odd man out. The longtime Mets stalwart has been designated for assignment, the club announced Monday.
Omar Narvaez has been activated and will return Tuesday in Atlanta, joining Francisco Alvarez as the Mets’ catching tandem. The veteran Narvaez said Sunday he is “100 percent” after playing in six rehab games, bouncing back from a calf strain.
Honestly I was a huge Nido fan. But with the team struggling so much this year, Nido’s hitting being anemic and pitchers raving about how well Alvarez calls a game, Nido had to be the odd man out.
One-third of the season over before this series, so coming back to sweep a division rival is really sweet.
