3 teams looking to meet with Mets on Dickey-Rubin post #918

[Rio40]

I wouldn't trade Dickey for Lee and Pederson unless Federowicz was in the deal as well. MLB ready catcher. May not be a stub but could be an above average overall catcher.

[lvlheaded]

^I agree. We have to wait at least a year and a half for Pederson, and probaby a year for Lee, Federowicz would help that wait

JP isn't that good defensively, he doesn't get on base either. Let's not over value him.

There are 2 reasons why I want JP.
He's better than anything we have by a country mile, and I look forward to listen to Keith Hernandez butcher his name on a continuous basis.

I'm not trying to overvalue him. I'm just saying there is a ton of surplus value in his contract (4 more years - not even arb eligible until next season) considering what similar catchers are going via FA.

Gose K's a ton. And you would think he would have more extra base hits with his speed and all.

Never a fan of his.

When I think about it, JPA is really only worth a Murphy, maybe someone else.

[Rio40]

I wouldn't even trade Murphy for me to be honest.

If he's a throw in on a deal fro Dickey or maybe in a deal around Duda is the only way.

[Claymation]

Alderson asks for Bradley and Bogaerts: Sandy Alderson produced a lot of Internet LOLs and incredulity when he asked the Red Sox for prospects Xander Bogaerts and Jackie Bradley, Jr. in a trade for R.A. Dickey. But if you’re going by what Dave Cameron reasoned through yesterday, that is exactly what Alderson should be requesting for Dickey. Per Jonathan Mayo, Boegarts and Bradley are the Sox’ No.1 and 3 prospects, respectively. Asking for that much at the beginning of negotiations hardly implies any sort of dark Mets conspiracy to keep Dickey drawing fans to Flushing in 2012. Alderson’s merely setting the bar high, as he absolutely should. If the Sox ultimately counter-offer with one of those two guys and a couple of slightly lesser (but closer to Major League ready) prospects, maybe there’s a deal to be made.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Mets continue to aim high in talks with the Kansas City Royals. Multiple sources say the club is still pursuing Kansas City Royals outfield prospect Wil Myers.

Do you think we could Myers plus other prospects?

Typical Moneyball philosophy chasing cheap players.

No way. Maybe if its Neise, but if we are trading Dickey itl be him and another prospect for Myers.

I heard some scouts he isn't an All-Star type bat that's why I am asking.

Fair enough. But hes the 3rd ranked prospect in baseball who put up monster power numbers last year and is only 21. R.A. is great but he doesnt have that kind of upside to make it one for one IMO.
