Time now for executive decision where we ask our resident GM Jim duquette his thoughts on a handful of topics. So sticking with minaya here. How do you see his contract playing out this offseason? You know, I think with the way he's been pitching here lately, you have to look at this as he's going to opt out at the end of the year. Now, you know, you want him to pitch as well as he has because that's going to I think helped the Mets get to the postseason. He's been that dominant and to your point what he said about sale what Yelps talked about during a game about Chris a I mean that's that is real. Real that arm slide is real the stuff has been that good in you know, he's getting the results. So, you know, I think in the end you wouldn't mind him opting out if he pitches continues to pitch the way he is and he gets the Mets to the postseason Jim the Mets top prospect jet Williams is just starting to swing a bat after missing most of the year because of wrist surgery. Would you advise him to play somewhere this winter the Arizona fall league or something like that? And how does that like, how does that conversation start? What what happens in those kinds of The talks well, so the short answer is yes, he needs to play this this winter. I think that's the good news is when you miss time like this, there are opportunities to play elsewhere in the fall leaves a perfect body. It'd be hard to play in Winter ball because they're trying to wind down there are no teams going to take guy who hasn't played that much unless he was playing at the major league level. So Arizona fall league is probably where he's destined. I think the conversations pretty easy. In fact, I'd be surprised if jet didn't come to the team saying listen. I want to play in the Arizona fall league and then I think on top of that what you end up doing and because it's a controlled environment you get them certain number of at-bats, then he gave me a little bit of time home and then bring them back down to Florida down to the complex. The complex is open almost year-round any way he can get some at-bats and get himself ready for next year. All right, Starling Marte played a rehab game today in Port st. Lucie got a single and a stolen base in the first thing. So if he makes it back where does he fit on this Mets team considering they have a half a dozen players literally that can play Outfield. Yeah. It's getting crowded. You know, I mean, I think that's the hard part is. Yeah, but yeah. You'll take good players, right? He's we know he's a good player when he's healthy and the hard part is we haven't seen him in a while. There's going to be a little bit of time for him to kind of get back and get accustomed to Major League pitching again. So with that, you know, I don't think the Met should be taking him and throwing them right into the starting lineup every single day. I think he's am into it. He's gonna have to prove his at-bats if he proves his at-bats, you know, he's a he can he's shown he can be a force he gives you that power and speed combination all that. So, you know, I think that it might cut into Taylor's at-bats in the beginning and you know, we'll see what ends up happening there, but it might I think it'll end up being a good problem with the thought that he can stay healthy because if he's healthy we know he's a good player.
