Mets Non-Tender Dom Smith

Dominic Smith’s uneven tenure with the Mets has come to an end.

The Mets on Friday non-tendered Smith, their first-round pick in the 2013 MLB Draft who struggled for most of a decade to find his footing in Flushing. Smith is now a free agent, able to sign with any team. It’s highly unlikely he will return to New York given the presence of Pete Alonso as the starting first baseman and Daniel Vogelbach as a left-handed designated hitter.

Was always a fan of Dom. Thought for sure that he’d get around 400 at-bats, play some good 1st base/LF and contribute heavily to the Mets 2022 season. But Dom could never get it going offensively and he ran out of chances. Best for him to get a fresh start somewhere else and hopefully do well…except when he’s playing us of course.

Mets Clinch Playoff Spot vs. Brewers

That’s why I could never be a manager in baseball, because I’m taking not taking out Scherzer after seeing him pitch a perfect game for 6 innings. Either way, congrats to the 2022 Mets for making the playoffs. Of course it’s the NL East division that we really need to win, but seeing as the Braves never lose to anyone but us, that’s going to be a very tough hill to climb.

The Brandon Nimmo Catch Was Not The Mets G.O.A.T.

While Brandon Nimmo’s catch from last night’s Dodgers game should definitely make the Top 10 list when it comes to the Mets. I can quickly state that the Agee and Swoboda catches during the 1969 World Series, the Endy Chavez catch to rob a homer from Scott Rolen in the 2006 NLCS and the Beltran catch on top of that old hill in Houston were all better. And that’s just off the top of my head.

Mets Send Dom Smith Down To Triple-AAA

Dom Smith is headed to Syracuse. The Mets optioned their unhappy first baseman/outfielder to the Triple-A Mets on Tuesday. The team called up pitcher Adonis Medina in a corresponding move.

Smith has been vocal in recent weeks about wanting to play more.

I don’t care about Dom not getting to play every day. Buck gave him plenty of opportunities to do well and he didn’t take advantage of it.
