While Frankie Montas wiped his options as a free agent, he gave his friend and free colleague Sean Mania a call.
He had questions about Mets and Jeremy Hefner.
“How is the stadium coach? How is the training team? How is everyone?” Montas asked his former companion to rotate with A.
“[Manaea] “He only had good things to say about Jeremy,” Montas said at the end of this week on “Al -Amasin Day”.
In an unexpected race to NLCS last season, Mets hoped to have built a basis for success year after year. With this basis, they hope, a reputation comes.
In general, players want to play with the teams that will pay them (the place where Steve Cohen helps); With who will win (last year was a good start); And with those who will improve.
This last factor is decisive and can be said that it represents the largest leap that Mets took last season.
In the previous winter, they fell on Germany and Luis Severino, who were going well and bad, respectively, on the decades of the humble free agent: Germany in a deal of at least two years 28 million dollars with the cancellation of the subscription, Seifrino one hour, and 13 million dollars Base agreement.
In the middle of the road during an average season, Germany shot down his arm and began to look – and the stadium – like Chris Seil, the CY YOUNG Prize winner.
With the help of Mets Pitching Minds, carry the club to NLCS and got a CY Young vote himself.
His decision to cancel the subscription was easy, and he spent it to return to Queens for three years and 75 million dollars.
Severino, using a plan outside the Mets season, which was more aggressive than what was adopted during the days of Yanxiz, has achieved 31 starting in the normal season and three others in the qualifiers.
He was well installed, and given the most important of this, he was erected a lot after a total of 40 ordinary seasons in his previous five seasons combined.
He signed an installed agreement and began to prove himself, which enabled him to exchange in a three -year contract worth $ 67 million with A.
The Mets team helped to develop, helping the team win and helped these jugs earn more money.
Notice other jugs, who want to grow, this winter.
“They had Sevy and SEAN Manaea, and I saw what they could do,” said Clay Holmes, who said the Mets development system was important for him. “These things were not really chance. These men knew somewhat what they were, and they have achieved success in that.
“So I think the past success – it is clear that talking to Jeremy Hefner, his experience and what he was able to do, and how we can deal with each other was good – but it is clear that they have a lot of resources here. I mean, I think they can accumulate anyone Throughout the league as much as the resources they provide.
Part of Mets's reputation “The Hefner's reputation, Naja Monument coach for five years, includes many changes in the system and which will now help him Desi Druschel, who stole the club from Yanxiz this season.
Part of Mets's reputation “METS reputation includes employees and other development -based technology that have taken steps in the past few seasons.
Eric Jagir, their vice president for promotion, leads the laboratory at Port Saint Lucy.
The scenes work is sometimes clear with young men like Manaea and Sequerino and sometimes with horizons like Christian Scott, who showed a promise before they required elbow surgery.
The Mets did not show a perfect game last season – the Adrian Houser did not succeed – but the more success stories they can boast, the easier it would be to be seen as a destination for the jugs who believe that there is an unexploited capabilities within them.
Cohen's money will help on the ground jugs like Montas, which starts from the pedestrian season and the Helems, who were placed in the Yanxiz team.
But the growing reputation to become a place that the archers want to be a real employment tool.
“Collect an experience in the game and what [the Mets are] “I think their development, even here at the level of the big league, was talking about himself,” Holmes said.
