Just compiling lists of who could go, who won’t go even though we want them to, and what the outlook for next season looks like :

Deadline trades:
Minter, Peralta, Taylor, Raley, Holmes because 0 chance he takes the player option he’ll get more on the open market, Young, Brazoban

Players you should listen on if you can get a top 5 prospect back:
Weaver

Players you hope a team will take but 0 chance anyone wants them and they will be on the team next year:
Senga, Manea, semien, polanco

By the offseason Bo will opt out. The following players no matter what cannot be on the team to start the year:
Baty, Vientos

You’re essentially going into the year with a combined good 2 catchers, an awful 2b (semien) a good short stop, 3 good outfielders, and a consistently injured bad DH (Polanco). There are fringe prospects that could possibly make the team (Clifford, Reimer, Morabito).

For pitching you got 2 good starting pitchers, 3 starting pitching prospects that hopefully 2 could make the jump (Tong, Santucci, Thornton), 3 spot/long pitchers that no team probably wants, and weaver/williams in the back end.

Holy god do things look bleak.

Argue with a wall. 5 earned runs in last 20 appearances, 4 of them in 1 outing. Guys been nails

It forced the reality that Mendoza was an awful manager, Stearns relied way too heavy on a computer, Lindor really isn’t captain material, and a lot of these make or break players broke and we can move on
This roster is not good, but Mendoza STUNK and had 0 feel for the game. For a good communicator, he sure had 0 ability to keep the team focused and give 100%. You are a manager of personalities and a few in game decisions, he was god awful at both. I’m thrilled he’s gone.
The overhaul of the roster should start up soon, I really thought Stearns wasn’t dumb, but he made a really really dumb move to think that players should do exactly how they’re projected from an algorithm and put 0 thought into the stress and everyday life of 80 reporters and tabloids tracking your every move in New York vs the 2 reporters for the whole state in Milwaukee or wherever he signs players from. Also clearly doesn’t believe in injury history. Smartest guy in the room getting humbled isn’t a bad thing, unless he doesn’t learn from it.
Wright had some of the worst roster constriction around him ever seen from 08-14 but they never looked this lifeless and pathetic. Lindor needs to either accept that he’s not THE leader, and not the face of the Mets or send his ass packing because he clearly is not well liked right now amongst the team. It’s not his fault, got the red carpet rolled out by cohen, put on a pedestal, ego was through the roof when he got here after spending his whole career only following a path set forth very clearly by Tito Francona in Ohio. The person who kept him in check here was buck, and once gone Mendoza let his ego go unchecked again. Whoever is the next full tine manager needs to sit him down and say you’re A player not THE player now put your head down and work.
Weird year, but needed. Tear it down and start from scratch. Besides the outfield, short stop, 2 bullpen arms and 2 starting pitchers, everything should be for sale. And for the love of god dfa baty and vientos, I’m tired of chance 15 to prove they’re everyday players

Take the SIE on Thursday. The finra practice got a 73. Achievable I keep sitting 65-73 and it’s the same shit over and over that I’m awful at. U.S gov debt, mutual funds (ETF, ETN, REITS, etc), margin accounts, and f*****g options, always options. I really don’t want to fail I start a job in a few months and I don’t want this hanging over my head throughout the summer, what the hell am I doing wrong? I literally cannot get this stuff to stick no matter how hard I try

I’m leaving the field at the end of the year, for a variety of reasons, but one of them is just feeling lost trying to negotiate accepting a situation that isn’t to the liking of a large amount of my audhd level 1 caseload students. I understand the social skill difficulties, and the rigidity, but I really have noticed a significant increase in this demand to force other peers to either admit they are wrong or the students need to end up on top at the expense of destroying any and all relationships they attempt to form with peers. It doesn’t matter how many restorative conversations, charts, strategies, role playing done, because it’s always in the moment nuanced situations that are not heavily controlled. And there is never any threat of consequence like loss of privilege or anything like that otherwise I would get the function behind these explosive moments. I’m wondering if anyone is seeing that increase as well? Maybe it’s just societal at this point since there has been a shift in decreasing productive struggle in social dynamics. Maybe it’s the lack of time in schools spent working on navigating these situations and behaviors are just rising due to electronic overstimulation I really don’t know, just wanted to see if there’s others in my position.
