35 Years of Misery & Counting
Now the soonest we can see Senga is on May 27. And there must be something more to the Teheran story because to release him after just one start smells really fishy. And oh yeah, Trevor Bauer is still out there unsigned, but I guess we’re too ‘principled’ to give him a shot even after that woman lied on him regarding those sexual abuse allegations.
The desire is evident.
According to SNY insider Andy Martino, New York Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga has made it clear to his club that he wants superstar free agent Japanese phenom hurler Yoshinobu Yamamoto as his teammate.
As Martino also reported, Yamamoto will be posted by his team, the Orix Buffaloes, “any day” now. But the Mets will face immense competition in trying to land one of the top starters on the market.
The Mets signed Senga to a five-year, $75 million deal last offseason, and he proceeded to finish as the runner up for National League Rookie of the Year in his first season in the major leagues.
Yamamoto is projected to receive a long-term deal in the $200 million range, and will likely land this type of contract.

Should’ve been Senga and Nimmo for the All-Star game all along.
So nice to have an owner so dedicated to putting the best product on the field.
