Heyman's speculation tweets can be really stupid, but he breaks a lot of news.

Benintendi is the dumbest fucking name ever.

Read that the Mets are working really hard to dump Familia and Betances...either seem like they’d be in play here given the moves Minasian has been making. Both were pretty bad in ‘21, but are in walk years. If Mets pick up a bulk and we take one in a salary dump I wouldn’t mind seeing one in the 6th/7th inning role as a rebound play.

I’d prefer Bentances.

Same.

If they were to add something like two or three of Petit, Betances, Tepera, Kennedy, Greene, Melancon, Boxberger, Robertson, Thornburg...I'd be pretty happy with the offseason's overhaul. Lots of new names and styles to play with.

Rosenthal would be nice but seems like he will be expensive and is looking for saves.

Don’t have the roster spots for that many moves. I’d prefer to see one more guaranteed, legit arm brought in (Rosenthal).

Assuming one or two of those guys wind up on minor league deal/ST invites. 

If it means someone like Quijada or Keller gets DFA'ed in spring because one of them makes the pen, I can live with that. The pen depth is crazy shallow.

Someone wake up @mmc, the Pirates signed Brian Goodwin to a minor deal.

Pirates signed Goodwin to a minor league deal.

I still would have preferred him over Fowler

He’s probably tired from making all those posts about the landmark Benintendi trade

If we indeed must stay under the tax threshold and have about 10 million left I'd prefer to wait. This team is good enough to be in contention. Leave $ room to add a front line pitcher at the deadline like Sale, Scherzer, Verlander, etc

Yeah, well he needs to get back on that wall. A player could sign with a team in the KBO and we might not know about it for half an hour. Our National Insecurity is at stake.
