    Which franchise will be relevant again first?

    NY Mets
    or
    Boston Red Sox

    Mets have some nice prospects in Wheeler and Harvey.

    Red Sox got some young talent in the Beckett deal.

    Both teams currently are irrelevant.

    Sox have a top 10 draft pick, that's a plus. But I don't know , I think they have a way to go.

    Probably sox. I believe better minor league system and better ability to attact decent free agents(once they fire manager)

    Mets.

    Much easier division.

    AL East is a fukking beast.

    Baltimore is now relevant again.

    Too much of a climb for Boston.

    Mets path much easier.

    Ownership is indeed terrible, never was a fan,NYY fan here, but I do like Collins running the dugout over there in Queens.
