Buyer beware. I like Max, but wouldn't pull the trigger.

Scherzer is the best player on the trade market.
Jake and Max is a sick combo come playoff time.

It’s funny because Alonso, McCann and Nimmo are all in the top 50 against LHP…but it’s not enough.

Donaldson and Schoop are also doing well.

Where in the world is Jose Martinez? He is a great hitter vs. lefties and was brought in to play LF on those days when a lefty starts. Did he retire?

Jon Heyman

Interest is predictably immense in Max Scherzer, who is suddenly the most impactful guy on the market and very likely to be traded. There are said to be about 14 teams that have called, including some barely in the race.

Good. They can keep their players then. No one will meet that asking price anyway.

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.

Great question BD. I wonder if Zach Scott is even considering him.

Kimbrel's contract includes a club option for next year.

Phillies are getting Tyler Anderson. Not an earth shattering move but they obviously believe they are still in it. That's the problem with the Mets not really separating themselves at all.

Tyler Anderson close to being dealt to Phillies

Unless they trade for much more impactful player(s).

Little more on the Scherzer situation. Mets did enough digging to learn that Scherzer himself would not agree to play for them. Has no trade rights.

That offer only gets you Javy Baez. So I guess we won't be seeing Bryant in Queens any time soon, then.
