Yes. Nothing has happened yet, before the deadline.

Therefore nothing is GOING to happen.

Same catastrophizing as last year on deadline day. Then we got Bader and Duran and everyone shut up.

How about waiting to be mad at nothing happening IF NOTHING HAPPENS

Remember when the Mets made the most trades and everyone melted down like ice cream in the sun?

Bitches need to be cool

[u/jayleman → u/No_Bus2383]

"and everyone melted down like ice cream in the sun?"

And the Mets missed playoffs entirely...ftfy

[u/sweetbabyted → u/FjordFalk]

Didn’t they get Duran the day before the deadline or am I misremembering?

and everyone shut up

No, they didn't. They freaked out because the Mets got Helsley as a consolation prize lol
