Smith will earn a little less than $14MM AAV on his new deal, which makes me feel good about the 8-year, $68MM extension I had proposed for Francisco Álvarez: themetropolitan.substack.com/p/should-the-m…

Accounting gimmick saves #Mets this year's payment to Bonilla ... Savings: The Mets save $1.4 million by releasing Bickford before the start of the season when you add the salary saved ($682,258) and the would-be tax penalty on that amount ($750,484). @MetsFix @JeffreyBellone
Since Bickford failed to settle on a contract before an arbitration hearing awarded him $900,000, the Mets are only on the hook for 45 days termination pay ($217,742)

For Ottavino, $4MM of his original $6.75MM option was deferred until 2032-2035, so the $4.5MM he just signed is a bit closer to the original deal in terms of NPV (assuming the new deal isn’t deferred)

🚨 EMERGENCY POD 🚨 The Mets miss out on Yoshinobu Yamamoto. @JeffreyBellone, @blakezeff and @PeterKauffmann give their initial thoughts on the latest Mets Fix podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/met…
The last two players to strikeout 10+ batters and hit a home run in the same game: Shohei Ohtani Adrian Houser #justsayin
Solid move to add major-league depth at the cost of an injured starter who was left unprotected in Rule 5 draft By adding ~$7MM in salary (based on arbitration projections), this will push the Mets right up to the 4th tax threshold where all additional spending is taxed at 110%

Finally got caught up on the @MetsFix pod and I appreciate the nod to the 2019 team and 2024. I’ve been banging that drum since the offseason and the early results show lots of similarities.
I’m usually all for triggering male fragile egos and find it borderline comical when I get cowardly social media hate, but when lowlifes like this bring my husband and kids to the conversation, whew, that really crosses a boundary & it saddens me to know how vile some people are.…

Will Smith and the Dodgers are finalizing a 10-year, $140 million extension, sources tell me and @juanctoribio. The deal includes some deferred money.

Brings the NPV down to ~$8.97MM, saving the Mets close to $3.4MM in taxes compared to if it was a straight $12MM deal
Mets were always only going to sign JD Martinez if the deal became irresistible . If got there. Per league source: $4.5MM this year. $1.5MM a year deferred from 2034-38. Pending physical. @JonHeyman first reported that they were in agreement .

For Ottavino, $4MM of his original $6.75MM option was deferred until 2032-2035, so the $4.5MM he just signed is a bit closer to the original deal in terms of NPV (assuming the new deal isn’t deferred)
Adam Ottavino turned down his $6.75 million player option earlier in the offseason, so he'll return at a $2.25 million discount.
