That's fine, but also ********. They'd be dumb af to turn down an offer of Francisco Alvarez, and I'm sure they wouldn't.Quote:

Looks like the Tyler Anderson trade to Philly hit a snag as he is pitching for Pittsburgh tonight.
Trea Turner pulled from the game in Philly tonight. Wonder if he is on the move.
Possibly. Also may have injured himself sliding into third. Ran into clubhouse immediately after scoring.Quote:

Would you trade for him anyway, knowing that he will be quarantined for 2 or 3 weeks?Quote:

baez wants to play with lindor make it happen omar ,he strikes out a lot but baez and lindor down the mid is deadly
Jose Peroza in Single A ball, is someone a team would want as a secondary piece.
Junior Santos is another prospect teams are going to want.
I would hate to lose Santos.

Dan Hayes of The Athletic backs up my earlier reporting that the Mets continue to have interest in Twins' starter José Berríos, but their asking price is very high.
Hayes mentions two top 100 or a top prospect and a pre-arb eligible big leaguer,
Twins do like Ronny Mauricio.
Just sign Hamels or trade for a rental SP. When guys start getting healthy we don't need all these SP's for the price of a good prospect, and I don't want to trade someone like Mauricio for Berrios who's probably gone after next season anyway.
Hamels cannot be worse than Eickoff
I was surprised when I saw that video this morning. He said if he hits FA the only way he would move to 2B is if he had the chance to play with Lindor.Quote:

Agree on Hamels. Can't be punting any more games. They knew this stretch was coming, and that game 2 Sunday was a BP game.Quote:

We can't think that deGrom will come back and pitch into October without further incident.
We don't know what we're getting from Carrasco, from a health perspective and after a layoff.
We don't know if Syndergaard's arm will continue to have issues and, even if healthy, if he'll immediately have his old stuff and velocity.
We don't know how Walker will hold up as the innings pile up and the sticky stuff disappears.
I love Megill, dude has been a gift, but we now look at him as a solid rotation piece vs. a guy who has strung together a handful of impressive starts. I hope he continues but...We don't know the real Megill yet.
About the only guy that doesn't have question marks regarding health or durability is Stroman right now.
On top of this, we've asked the bullpen to pitch way too many innings, especially before the 5th. That will take a toll.
We need pitching.
Not worth it. Stroman cost basically half of that.Quote:

I know it’ll never happen but I’d like to see the Mets get a 3 team trade going where they flip Conforto to a club like the Mariners, throw in a prospect or two, and get back somebody like Bryant from the Cubs.
In terms of “major league pre-arb players” I’m not really sure what the Mets have to offer. Maybe a team will take a liking to a guy like Blankenhorn, but I doubt it.
Players the Mets could conceivably trade off of the big league roster is kind of thin, Y. Diaz, JD, and Guillorme are the only guys that I think will be attractive to other clubs.
What would it take to get Starling Marte from the Marlins?
.305/.405/.451/wOBA-.375
You could move Nimmo in LF or RF.
Gives you a right handed bat.
He is a FA after the year.

Starling Marte's last game with Miami in 2021 is tonight, if he plays in Baltimore. The Yankees, Giants and Astros are among teams interested. There is no thought of keeping Marte at all after the deadline from my intel. As expected.
Someone might pay a high price for Berrios and that's fine, but no one is giving any top prospects for these good rental players. We should be able to get 1 or 2 good ones set to become free agents without giving up a high prospectQuote:

The more I think about it, the more cool I’d be with the Mets getting Baez IF they get another bat.
**** it, trade Mauricio, Ginn, JD, and Santos for Bryant, Baez, Kimbrel, and Davies.

Baez works because he just publicly stated he wants to play here. So the chances of it not being a rental goes up. Just by looking at basic stats it almost looks identical to what Lindor is doing. Poor shortened season last year and continuing it into this season and slowly getting better.
I wonder if JD Davis goes to Chicago with other pieces since a few of their starters might be traded. I wouldn’t be against it.
The line up would be crazy and the defense would get better.

Love his power, and he would be an improvement on D. But he's headed for an Adam Dunn-is 200 Ks this year and I don't think I could handle watching that for a prolonged period.Quote:

Mets need a big time bat, though. Just need pitchers to hold down the fort, who can also relinquish a role in the rotation of everyone else is healthy.

If the Cubs want JD Davis, we really shouldn't have to give anything else, or at least not much more for a Bryant/Davies trade because of the control JD has.Quote:

Then I'd look to flip Conforto to an AL contender for a rental RP perhaps.
Sounds easy, right?
Craig Mish@CraigMish
Marlins are close to trading OF Starling Marte to the Oakland Athletics per sources.
The dream is over.
Didn't think we'd get Marte anyway. At least he went to the AL.
The return on him should be indicative for what someone like Bryant would cost.
Oh **** Marlins got Jesus Luzardo. Feel like that's a ****ing steal.
Can't believe OAK gave up that many years on such a young talented SP for a 2 month rental. Seems crazy af
