ALL things trade related should go here, and be discussed here. Somethings don't need their own thread, like repetitive Reyes threads about trading him or keeping him. So things like that will go here from now on.

Sorry YS, but this is kid stuff. I forget sometimes you're a teenager. This is trading baseball cards.....Somewhat humorous, so I'll leave now....;)
I go to another thread.
Have at it.
So you would rather have trade Reyes/Wright threads and other dumb threads like that? Better have one place for it, its not like this is the only forum that has this kind of stuff.
I would like to trade Jeff/Fred Wilpon for an owner to be named later.
Jason Pridie for Roy Halladay?
Do you really think the posters who are angry/naive/young enough to start a "TRADE SO-AND-SO!!!!" thread are going to pay attention to this? I can tell you from sloshing through the junk in the Knicks forum that they won't. So instead of just ignoring those ugly threads, we'll have those ugly threads and a sticky promoting it.
Just sayin'.
I agree with RR.
With that said, I think it's kind of ridiculous to ponder any fantasy trades. We won't know until they happen because there are far too many intangibles. I trust in Sandy enough to know that if this team is close to contention come the deadline(meaning within 5 games or so, not 7 to 10) that we'll be buyers. He has been very blunt about everything thus far.
However, Reyes is probably the first to go and I'll be distraught once is happens(if)--it's expected, but I can't bring myself to see Reyes wearing another uniform. He's the player who got me excited to watch the Mets when he was first called up and I've been following since 2003-4 on an almost everyday basis.
Teams I see Reyes most likely going to: San Francisco Giants, Boston Red Sox
A little bit of a long shot, but still possible: Tampa Bay Rays(If in contention)--Detroit Tigers
Way out of left field: New York Yankees
Every year we have a thread like this where most proposals get made and if guys make other threads suggesting trades guess what? They get merged with this thread.
If you do not like it, then guess what you can choose to not hit the link and let those who might want to participate go ahead and do so. From now on all negative comments regarding why you hate this thread will be deleted.
Participate if you want, if you don't, feel free to move on to the next thread.
I think our biggest trade priority is K-Rod. We don't want his option to vest, and good closer can net a nice prospect when traded to a team that needs that extra piece.
We saw it last season with the Capps to Minny for Ramos trade. Maybe we can get something nice for K-Rod.
Yeah, look at Feliz getting hurt now, teams will always need pen help and a closer, so am sure the Mets can deal him and get something of value unless they do a Wagner.
trade beltran,lutz and familia to the angels for ervin santana he would be a beast pitching in the nl.
Also, replacing a closer isn't as hard as replacing a position player or starter. So technically, we could still be in the race, and we could just trade K-Rod anyway for a good prospect.
