What a day yesterday was for us Mets fan. We no longer have to worry as Jeff McNeil, the best hitter in baseball, will stay with the Mets until 2026. There was nobody I was more confident in having a rebound season than Jeff McNeil. McNeil had the worst season of his career in 2021 and say to many people started doubting him. All it took was one offseason and McNeil got even better than he was before.

McNeil stole the batting title away form Freddie Freeman and had the best batting average in the MLB. McNeil is that dude and in my opinion the best 2nd baseman in baseball. MLB ranked him 2nd behind Altuve, but right now I would take McNeil. McNeil can play any position and plays it well.

Now I am concerned what the Mets did to make McNeil take this contract, because it’s an absolute steal. Did they hold McNeils dog, Willow, over the George Washington Bridge until he signed the contract. I’m hoping the Mets didn’t pull a Braves and threaten the man’s loved ones to accept a low value contract. Who knows, maybe Jeff just loves being apart of this franchise lead by the GOAT, Uncle Stevie.
