If your going to let Conforto walk, it won’t be so Pillar can take over. It will be because they offered somebody else big bucks and or will make a deal.

The money they wanted to spend on Conforto will likely go to Bryant.Quote:

I agree but it doesn’t have to be for a right fielder. I could see them go after a 3rd baseman in Free Agency and look at the farm for a RF replacement like Vientos or Cortes.Quote:

Pillar the guy with a .661 OPS? Yeah that’s not everyday player corner outfield numbers you want. Just because he will hit a homer once in a while does not make him a stater. He is a back up who can start incase of injuries.

Pillar is a great bench guy on a playoff team, capable of filling in for weeks at a time during the course of a season. I love his competitiveness, his approach and his small sample size propensity for the big hit, but not every day. He's an everyday starter for an also-ran. I have a similar take on Villar.Quote:

I think he should be starting at 3rd base for the rest of the season.Quote:

Pass on Donaldson if he was expiring it’s be fine but commuting to him for 3 years seems very risky.
If Bryant is really available that’s the guy.
And they need a pitcher, obviously. Can be a backend starter just need someone to take on innings

No thanks on Donaldson also, he’s been on the decline outside of 1 year in Atlanta when he was trying to get a contract. If the Twins want to throw Berrios in there with getting nothing back, then possibly, but that Donaldson contract is grossQuote:

Give both players a change of scenery
Berrios is someone I would target, and I would take on all of Donaldson's contract to lower the cost. But I want Berrios, so I expect the Mets not to get him.
Kyle Gibson is someone else I would also consider.

The Mets do not want to trade Francisco Álvarez, Brett Baty, or others top prospects as the trade deadline approaches (via
@martinonyc
)
RF is covered when Conforto leaves. Brandon Nimmo finally becomes the RF, which is where he belongs. LF will be the revolving door but the Mets will likely mix and match with Dom Smith, Pillar and others. CF is where they need to go the free agent approach.Quote:

This goes in line with the Mets reported interested in Asdrubal Cabrera. I mean if he's depth, fine but not the type of player I really want to see the Mets headline as a bat at the deadline.Quote:
One thing I say a lot to a lot of people around me in the game is we’ve got to remember that baseball is not the NBA,” Scott said. “It’s not one person [who] has the opportunity to make as big of an impact. That’s not to go down a slippery slope and say, ‘Why trade for any rental, then, if it’s not going to make an impact?’ You don’t want to go down that far. But the reality is the game is designed to limit the impact of a single player, whether that’s a starting pitcher or a hitter. So we have to be smart.”
You want noodle arm in RF?Quote:

And we know Lugo can't be used repeatedly often....2nd half schedule being tough (west coast) ..think reinforcements should mlbe on tap there and there should be several options like there usually is.

I mean no GM will ever say that their team desperately needs this or that or is interested in improving in this area.Quote:

The rotation is a different animal because guys are now hurt long term and have zero depth.

Bryant and Arrietta for Vientos and a low level spec
My trade target candidates I would like to see the Mets acquire:
1. German Marquez
2. Kris Bryant
3. Craig Kimbrel
4. Kyle Hendricks
5. Jose Berrios
6. Jose Ramirez
I’d be ecstatic if we got Marquez and Bryant. They are 2 guys that would really help big time to bolster both the rotation and lineup and would be fine those 2 as our deadline acquisitions (the 2 I want the most). I know our bullpen has been good already, but damn can you imagine if we added Kimbrel to it. Sign me up for a late inning combo of Lugo/Kimbrel/Diaz to close the last 3 innings. Hendricks and Berrios would be great adds as well. Jose Ramirez I know is a long shot. But hey can’t blame me for trying, sometimes there are surprises when you least expect them.
In the end, should be a fun deadline to see who the Mets pursue and acquire.
i would love bryant and hendricks from the cubs how stupid would it be if we took on heyward and dont have to give up **** for bryant and hendricks
Bryant would cost a JT Ginn type or Alex Rameriz/Carlos Cortes.
He is a rental.
That is not what I've seen or heard of Nimmo's arm. It is supposedly stronger and more accurate than Conforto's arm. Where has that been shared by the scouts or Mets organization?
In any case, Conforto will never get the big contract that Borass will try to get for him - not with this dismal season.
Don’t think we have seen the same player.Quote:

FYI Bryant is batting under .200 in his last 30 games and Arrieta sucksQuote:

I’ve always liked Kyle Hendricks, I’m sure he’d cost quite a bit as he’s a solid #3 with a reasonable salary the next few yearsQuote:

@martinonyc
first reported interest in Donaldson last week & "internal calculations" that they're < $10 million shy of LTT.
The Mets love Kris Bryant

Mets are another team in on All-Star 2B Adam Frazier, as I should said on #MLBCentral
@MLBNetwork
Jon Gray is someone I think we can get for a low cost.
