Figured it was time to look back on some positive. One of my favorite Met trades of all time was the John Olerud trade. Still remember hearing it on the fan and being super excited. plus it only cost us Robert Person if I remember correctly. My Dad(RIP) and I felt Keith Hernandez and John Olerud were the best pure First Basemen we ever had. Both pure hitters, clutch, and obviously great defensively. even though Olerud was only here three years he had monster years with us and I was heartbroken when he left. probably the only time i was more upset was when Wright was forced to retired. Interested to hear your thoughts on John Olerud!

2027 looks like a really strong draft with some top tier pitching prospects. I know MLB draft is generally a crapshoot but at least we can look forward to the MLB draft lottery 😂
