#WOWMets.
Between endless #LOLMets jokes and owner Steve Cohen again putting foot in mouth while sitting on Steven Matz’s WELCOME HOME cake, new New York GM Billy Eppler was getting it done. Assigning a new definition to a news dump Friday, here was the ticker tape action in Queens:
- 5 p.m.: Mets sign IF Eduardo Escobar for two years, $20 million
- 8 p.m.: Mets sign OF Mark Canha for two years, $26.5 million
- 11 p.m.: Mets sign CF Starling Marte for four years, $78 million
In a disconcerting coincidence, all three of these players could conceivably been pursued and signed by the White Sox this winter.
