Thank you gentlemen for the info. I'll take a Brian McCann clone anytime to be our starting catcher.

i think its gonna fall through
I agree...fair deal. If we insist on Gose they have the right to ask for a possible thirdbaseman of the future. The two teams match up well..we have a surplus of thirdbaseman so lets do it. I would be disappointed if Gose wasn't included because we would not have improved the outfield and our best chip was gone. And if tor is worried about JP catching the knuckler than asking for Thole makes sense and we would need Buck back in the deal....also having a veteran catcher here would help TDA grow with instant pressure to perform.
Andy Martino confirms Sanchez, Syndergaard have been discussed.
Andy Martino said no dnags in the deal, still working the quantity of players.
They said don't expect a deal tonight but I would expect something by Monday
Buck makes sense as he'd hold it down until TDA is called up, plus Jays would have 3 catchers. Selfishly hope it's not Flores but it would be worth it if Gose is included. I like JA Happ too. Still young, good arm and I think he'd be better than Gee.
I think it will be a win for either side unless the players the Mets are getting don't live up to their potential.
Its a fair trade for either side because u guys get an ace and other specs and we get possibly a perennial all star catcher and an OF with tremendous speed and good upside for many years to come.
Latest information I've seen is that Gose is no longer in the deal.

Maybe Sandy has his doubts as to Gose's real potential. I have some doubt too, but we really need a CF and Gose is still very young. I'd try like hell to get Alex A to keep Gose in the package, even if I had to add another prospect to do it.
Buck is a better back-up than Recker, but I'd just as soon he weren't in the deal. I guess it is to get the Mets to take on some salary. My ideal deal is still d'Arnaud, Gose, Syndergaard and a lower level prospect, but I'd take Buck as the fourth player too.
If I had to give up Dickey, Thole, and Flores or Familia to do it, I would. I'd even add a lower level prospect to our side of the deal.
