Thoughts about MLB on a Snowy Morning in January

• The salaries that are being offered to free agents are outrageous.  Kyle Tucker, who is certainly not a potential Hall of Famer, is getting $60 million/year while Bo Bichette will be getting $42 million/year.  Aron Judge who signed a 9-year contract, is getting a measly $40 million/year.  Maybe he should renegotiate.
• Many of these players have opt-out clauses so they can renegotiate after a good season.  However, if the player performs poorly, the team can't terminate the contract.
• If the owners insist on a salary cap, there will be a strike or lockout before the 2027 season.  Didn't everyone learn from the consequences of the 1994-95 lockout?  Tons of money will be lost.
• The Mets have given Bo Bichette $126 million, but did they try to match the offer the Orioles gave to Pete Alonso?
• With the acquisition of Bo Bichette, the Mets have too many infielders.  Will one of them be traded for a pitcher?
• Will the Mets' top prospects be ready to be effective major leaguers?
• I think if the Mets don't improve on last year's record, David Stearns should be fired.
