Diamond Diehards: Mets Get Their McCann, Tribe's Last Hurrah
Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy watched the first domino in the offseason fall, and it was a big one. James McCann hit on two categories, as he is a catcher and now a Met. Riz & Dawg calculated the next moves for the Mets and what their signing of McCann means for the rest of the league when it comes to the vital position behind the plate. Where will JT Realmuto land? Should the Mets prioritize Trevor Bauer or George Springer next? Riz had a very strong opinion and might have swayed Dawg, as he did with the catchers.

Dawg was a week ahead on calling the potential for owners to push back the start of the season, and went deeper into depth on that point as news broke earlier in the day that it was being discussed. That was not the only thing from an ownership standpoint that made news, as the guys discussed the final season of the Cleveland Indians, who announced they are changing their name -- albeit after the 2021 season.
Those owners have begun to sign players to one-year contracts, and Riz took a look at three outfielders and their deals, tasking Dawg to throw economics at the issue to see if this becomes a predictor of deals we are going to see over the next few months. Not to be left out were the saga of DJ LeMahieu and his negotiations with the Yankees, a view of what the threshold should be for them to sign him, and what options they have if they moved on.
Dawg presented Veteran of the Day. Gustave F. Perna is a United States Army four-star general who serves as the chief operating officer of Operation Warp Speed. It was another timely choice, with the COVID vaccine seeing its first injections into Americans earlier in the day. Perna is a New Jersey native who attended Morris Hills High School, before graduating as a Distinguished Military Graduate from Valley Forge Military Academy and College with an associate degree in business administration.
