GRA: First David Robertson (who, honestly, I didn’t know was still playing), and now Max Scherzer (who may be very close to hanging it up by the end of 2024), are sent packing by the New York Mets, as the trading deadline approaches.
I know new york city is full of minorities, but THEY don’t buy tickets to the games, so it looks like the Mets are going to go the opposite route of manager Nicholas Stix’ strategy when they won the faux World Series in 2020—get all White players on the team and WIN.
It must be torture for Stix to watch his favorite team get disassembled. Well, the problem is, not only do you have to get WHITE players, but you have to get the right, White players—not over-the-hill guys like Verlander and Scherzer. Plus, a good manager, who the current guy must not be.
For the Mets, it isn’t “wait ‘til next year,” it’s “wait ‘til...who knows when?”
