Who has affected their HOF odds the most so far this postseason? Vlad? Anyone else moving the needle?

I don't think there's anyone who's really close enough to the point that their 2025 October performance could be the difference, but it's nice to see guys like Vladito, Raleigh, and Julio who are early in their careers come up big. Maybe a guy like Snell who clearly can be elite when he's healthy and at his best could benefit down the road but he's going to have to pound out half a dozen full seasons of strong work to overcome the unevenness of his non-Cy Young seasons thus far.

Sal Licata with SNY said the Mets were discussing trading Lindor. Is he crazy or are the Mets crazy?

That's the dumbest idea i can think of regarding the Mets.

Had a debate with some friends about Matt Olson's Hall of Fame chances.  I said he's only 2 more regularly productive seasons away from making it, they said 5.  Who's closer to being right?

I'd put the answer at 3-4 seasons of 5+ bWAR. If he produces like he has in his All-Star seasons (2025 included) he has a shot.

Do you think that Sandy Alcantara can regain his form next season or is a candidate to continue a decline

He put up a 3.33 ERA and 3.89 FIP in the second half so I think we'll see... something besides the disasterpiece of his first half. I'm not banking on him to be a Cy Young candidate but he can help a contender.

ok folks, thanks so much for stopping by! Hopefully, we'll be getting back to doing these on a more regular basis.
