“Willing to go higher” but they didn’t

Sounds like they used that wording to make it seem like they did all they could
It sounds like the Mets made the offer with the note we can go higher and he took the offer to the Dodgers. They added 3 million and he took it. The end.

You were an 83 win team this year it was gonna be hard to become a contender in one offseason even by keeping the team in tact

Now losing Diaz and possibly Alonso what path do the Mets have to become contenders in one offseason? Especially if you’re not willing to overpay anyone

You also lost Diaz to a team that was already way better. Impossible to close that gap this offseason

Don't think so; I just heard that they increased the offer, he just wasn't having it. That approach you speak of is what the Coupons would have done. Uncle Steve has already shown a willingness to spend.

Willingness to spend yes. Willingness to do whatever it takes like the Dodgers do every year ? Not quite

If we lose Pete we’re really fukked

What we gotta keep in mind, an 83 win season when you have high expectations and get eliminated on the last day is a very tough blow. Not only does management see the need for change players for themselves may think that to and want a fresh start.
After you collapse like they did last year it's time for drastic changes for everyone.
