What Happens in Nashville...Winter Meetings

Would be tough to pull off a Hart trade.

If teams are asking for Wheeler for even platoon type catchers (according to reports) that could be the possible asking price for Hart.

every team is going to ask for wheeler in any trade. He is a top 10 prospect. Doesn't mean we can't negotiate them down. Hart would be a great pickup.

Brewers have considered trading Corey Hart to free up money for pitching search. Without some type of move, can't play on bigger pitchers.

hmmm

Looking at his home/away splits the last two years, and his $10 million price tag, I'd say he wouldn't be a good fit.

For a team in a hitters park (like with the Brewers) he probably hits 275 30hr 90rbi, for a team like the Mets he hits 260 20hr, 75rbi which is better than the Mets have now, but not worth $10 million.

Remember when thefts could of had Hart for Maine? Good times.

At first I was on the fence on that trade.

My initial response was you could never have enough good pitching. I actually thought Maine was "Good Pitching".

Try to learn Forumnese, it's very helpful.

I really rather not part with any significant specs when they get him in FA after next season.

He could walk too after next season (if they acquired him) and then the only thing you get back for him is compensation picks.

KBurkhardtSNY #Mets prefer to get catcher via trade. Not thrilled w any FA. Have discussed Olivo, even Torrealba although that is highly doubtful.

[metsbulls1025]

Conflicting reports about a catcher.

[Metsin08]

I'll bet the OF being considered w/o RA is Bourjos. Just a hunch since he's probably undervalued, can lead off, and can't land an everyday spot in LA.

Olivo/Shoppach are fine by me. Anything else would cost a ton in dollars or players.

Flores comes to mind, he could play 1B for them.

A package around Flores gets it done imo.

Free agent righty Mike Pelfrey is getting a lot of play, tweets Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, with the Mariners, Indians, Twins, and others in the mix. The Pirates were connected to Pelfrey earlier.

Pelfrey, 29 in January, had Tommy John surgery in early May and was non-tendered by the Mets last week.

In the event we do trade Dickey, I'd love to bring Pelf back. Doesn't seem likely though.

....all I know is that the Mets have been really busy.

Everything is waiting on Grienke. Once he signs, the moves with Dickey will be more clear and then the rest of our off-season will progress.
