write on Facebook: "I'm gonna miss ya, Bo. But the first thing I'd do when facing the Mets is put a bunt down along the third base line."

Because Bichette is known to be a below-average defender and the throw to first wasn't his strength at SS, let alone from third.

but the throw across from third to first is longer.

Spring training games are just getting underway, and Bo has some adjusting to do. We'll see how successful he'll be as the season progresses. The 1B certainly didn't help him here...

That being the case, maybe Bochette has a shitty arm for both 3rd and short. He'll have to do better; the Mets don't have an experienced first baseman on the roster.

The Mets didn't seem to show much interest in re-signing Pete Alonso. They went out and got Bichette and are converting him to 3B. And they also acquired SS Jorge Polanco, who they are converting to 1B out of necessity.

I think Alonso is going to have a strong season in Baltimore. He cranked his first homer of spring training yesterday.

That said he has a lot of swing and misses, and the Mets didn't want that long term commitment. We'll see what shakes out.

And I’m pretty sure he’s a better hitter than me!

After signing Cabrera and Bregman, they don't have the money. Or rather the Ricketts are too cheap to spend more.

Belli is the only one left and he'll probably go back to the Yankees.

I could see the Jays swooping in to try and snag Belli.
And don’t forget Suarez. Too old to probably get a long contract, but the Yanks usually seem to prize guys with big bats over defenders.
