Are you suggesting they should have traded away all their prospects.Quote:

Do you really think that the Mets are going to eat the remaining years of Cano's contract ?Quote:

What I think is egregious is that we weren't looking for pitching until the news about deGrom came down. First of all, deGrom has been banged up all year so having any confidence in his health going forward - while he's still on the IL, no less - is absurd. They should have been making calls the whole time.Quote:

I mean if the Cubs looked at our farm and said "No thanks," then so be it.
Still the Mets gave more for Baez than they got for Bryant. Cubs May have thought that they could get more for Bryant, but reality is they did not. The market for Bryant was better as more teams were in on him. Yet I mention this before, who else was on Baez? Not the Dodgers, not the Padres, not the Yankees, Giants had eyes on Bryant, so who else was in on Baez?Quote:

Why deal Bryant to the Mets and get stuck with Baez?
In the end they got rid of both and yet somehow got the Mets to pay more Baez than the Giants did for Bryant because the Mets asked them to pay their salaries.

So your answers to my questions sounds like you agree Mets got played based on the market for rentals and even some of the better players that had another year left.Quote:

Cano proved last year that he can still hit and drive in runs, especially in the clutch. That is where we miss him the most this year. However, it looks like he has slid down at least 2 notches as the Mets second baseman next year, behind Baez and McNeil so unless the NL has the DH next year, where does Cano play? He ain't playing 1b for sure as was considered when they first traded for him and before Alonso played in the majors. I don't think Cano has ever been considered a third baseman whether with the Yankees or Seattle although that might be an option with the Mets.Quote:

Cano is too expensive to have hanging around as a pinch hitter and occasional second baseman so maybe the Mets offer to trade him and send back a chunk of money to whichever team gets him.
