Dickey Trade Complete( Mets get d'Arnaud, Syndergaard, Buck and Becerra)

[NY_Heartbreak]

How important can those other 2 pieces be though? I'm sure they would have been leaked by now.

They're supposed to be sub-par prospects. But then what is the point in including them in the trade?

Blue Jays continue to negotiate with Bo McKinnis on extension for Dickey and price for Toronto higher than it was going to be for Mets

Interesting. This point here may have been the reason for the hold up.

the mets should flip syndergaard for jackie bradley(redsox) or him plus another prospect to bring in an outfield prospect from somebody else lets say bubba starling from kc?

[wdwyer]

Dickey is no dummy...I would certainly want more, considering all the work that has gone into this trade. If Toronto was willing to give up that for me...I'd squeeze them more too.

[Claymation]

I would change the title of the thread to "Mets-Jays trade ALMOST complete"

How about I almost ban you?
This is a day to rejoice.

Dickey needs to sign. And I believe he will.

No. Absolutely not.

Yeah, I agree the more from Toronto the better. But if we have to include someone to bring someone in, what's the point? Unless the additional prospects involved are both reclamation projects. Low risk high reward guys?

Imagine a rotation of Niese, Wheeler, Harvey and Snydergaard.

I am Stoked!

[DisgruntledGoat]

Does anybody want to give odds that Dickey will remain steadfast on the price he thinks is fair and the deal will end up going to hell because of it?

Yeah, dude. And that fifth starter's role could be filled by 10 guys with #2-#3 potential.

[Claymation]

I wish we received Gose and JPA.

I think Dickey will cave. He knows that this is his last chance at a long term deal and he's going to cash in.

[YoungStuna28]

For that 5th spot, we could use Gee, Montero, Fulmer, Tapia, Mateo, Degrom, or Pill, etc, etc. I love our pitching.

Of course. He's used to NYC, not to Toronto. Of course he'd cost more... I assume he'd eventually sign 3 years 40

[Claymation]

Mateo, don't forget Mateo.
