Heard bryon Buxton may also be available. I'm conflicted with him because he has so much potential and is already a GG true center fielder. But so was Billy Hamilton so is it worth an overpay?
I know Buxton is the better player but I'm using example of cost because of potential

Buxton’s question isn’t potential, it’s health.Quote:

I’d pass on him, tbh. I think a super utility guy or an infielder is a more pressing need at the moment.
If one of the outfielders go down, I’m cool rolling with Pillar and Lee for a bit. It’s tough to envision at bats for Buxton with the way the roster is currently presented. It would be more of a move for the future, assuming Conforto walks.

Adam Frazier to SDP

If the Padres are getting guys like Adam Frazier then the Mets need to do better than Whit Merrifield, Asdrubal Cabrera, etc. There are rumors the Padres and Dodgers are in on Scherzer as the Nationals are reportedly selling.Quote:

I didn’t want him so it’s whatever. Go get a big name.

If the Padres don't win the division, their season can end with one WC game. They've given up a lot to get to this place.
Sort of like the Lindor/Carrasco trade, I get a feeling they're working on a BIG package deal that isn't terribly on the radar -- Bryant/Kimbrel or Hendricks? Story/Gray? Ramirez/Plesac or Quantrill? Suarez/Gray? Starting with the ASG, I've now heard 3 TV baseball analysts (Olney and Sherman were two, I believe) who have used "Mets" and "Story" in the same sentence.Quote:

I don't know, just a feeling ...
They got a bunch of non rentals thoQuote:

True. Including Frazier through 2022. And they never seem to run out of prospects.Quote:

Yes please.
Prospect cost would be insane.Quote:

But he is a 3 month rental player and we are finally starting to build up our farm system.My first choice is Kimbrel and go with what we got .Quote:

I don't disagree with your first paragraph .Quote:

A healthy Byron Buxton could but that is an oxymoron.
To make a deep run in the playoffs as the great Tim Russert said it is PITCHING , PITCHING, PITCHING that does it. I know it probably is a pipe dream but a staff of DeGrom, Walker, Stroman , Syndergaard and Carrasco for the playoffs would be awesome with an addition of another excellent bullpen arm.
Max Scherzer would make a difference but there is no chance that if he is indeed traded that the Nats would trade him to the Mets. Craig Kimbrel could make a difference.
You say you don't like to hoard prospects if you can win now. Which prospects would you hoard? If you don't want to hoard prospects aren't you better to wait until the off season when many more players could be available in a trade.?
As I previously stated there really is no one out there right now. who can get us a championship .
He is owed quite a bit in deferments andQuote:

Bryant is unquestionably a better player than Cespedes. Dude is even a better hitter for his career.Quote:

No way
scherzer/berrios would be some great pick ups i hope cohen eats up some cash so we dont give up our best prospects. id setter for a reliever and a utility player tho
I think what he means is, Cespedes had that incredible power ability to literally carry the offense and the team to wins. Bryant is definitely a better hitter, but if he's getting a lot of singles and doubles, we have to rely on the rest of our offense for runs.Quote:

Also, people saying the Nats won't trade Scherzer to the Mets? Why not? He's a rental. Not like they would have to worry about playing against him for years to come.
If they are gonna sell this year and throw in the towel, If the Mets make the best offer, they'll take it.
Bryant has a higher slugging percentage career wise and wOBA than Cespedes.Quote:

I actually would want Baez of those three. Most versatile, best defense, and good clutch skills

I hear you, but the power barrage Cespedes put on that year literally carried this team. KB would have to have an incredible two month span to carry us like Cespedes did. And honestly, Bryant's offense has been quite mediocre/bad for a good stretch of time now.Quote:
