Big Baseball Talk

Welcome back everybody to another episode of Big Talk with Big Nate.

We're going to be talking about a lot of baseball stuff today.

I've got some big news to go over.

I'm going to go over most of the offseason moves.

As you all know, I'm a big Mets fan, so I'm going to talk about my Mets first.

I'll get into each of the teams and their biggest moves and how they look headed into the new season.

The spring training is about to start in a couple of weeks.

So let's start with my Mets.

So the Mets obviously lost Jacob DeGrom.

With the money that he got, I wouldn't pay him that much.

He's around 34, 35 years old.

He'll be 35 when the season starts.

And making five years, $185 million, not really what I would do for a pitcher beyond 30.

I'm fine letting him go.

You use that money, you bring in Justin Verlander on a two-year, $36 million contract, the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner.

You go out there, you sign Kodai Senga, flamethrower from Japan to a five-year, $75 million contract.

And you also bring in Jose Quintana.

And

the Mets obviously now have a pretty solid rotation.

They've got Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, Kodai Senga, Carlos Carrasco, Jose Quintana.

They've got some depth, too, with David Peterson and Tyler McGill coming off the injury.

So I'm hyped to see how this pitching staff – We'll take shape as the season unfolds.

I think it's going to be pretty interesting.

It's going to be pretty cool to see Verlander and Scherzer leading the rotation, obviously, too.

Former teammates from their time in Detroit.
