Trade Rumors

Jon Heyman

Mets are scouting Cubs-Dbacks in Chicago (and others elsewhere presumably). Of interest there: Bryant, Escobar, Davies, relievers. Jays and Phillies are among teams with scouts at Clark and Addison, as well.

I know people say there isn’t a fit for Bryant but having multi-position guys on a roster where there’s a few question marks, is a great thing. He can play third and he can play the outfield. A RHB can spell whichever lefty is struggling against LHP (Conforto) and play virtually anywhere. He’s been a neutral defender in the outfield but not so great at third, still plenty of ABs for JD is Bryant is acquired and plenty for Villar/Guillorme until Lindor comes back.

I don’t want Escobar, I think he’s kind of redundant when we have Villar. I’d like to see a Bryant package with more players than just Bryant. Davies and Chafin being in there definitely comes to mind.

I think getting a surefire reliever should be the priority, as is a backend/innings eating SP, a 3B is a bit of a luxury at this point but I think the Mets need a good RHB regardless.

It all comes down to cost for me. I’d take all of those things, for the right price.

If it’s Bryant for Vientos/Ginn, no thanks.

If it’s Bryant for Carlos Cortes, sure.

Kimbrel makes sense on two fronts. The first is obvious , he strengthens our bullpen a lot but secondly you do not want the Phillies or Braves or Nats or even the Dodgers to get him.

What I would give up for him is another issue since he is a rental player.

Kimbrel has a 16 million team option next year. It'd likely be picked up unless he completely bombs here.

If he gets traded I think the team that gets him moves up on list of potential WS winner

Why though? Dude is an old minor leaguer and sucks balls there. I would have much rather kept Fargas.

Me too

But I am not sure if Fargas had options and be sent down.

Ramirez and Santos for Donaldson and Berrios…get it done Omah

Giving up Santos is like giving up Simeon Woods Richardson a guy with a great fastball and lots of potential, but for Berrios? Yeah no doing about it.

Twins All-Star lefty reliever Taylor Rogers is very popular on the trade market. Whiffs 13.2 batters per 9, has 9 saves. Has another year of control but with value extremely high, good chance to be dealt.
