Trade Rumors

They shouldn't cost much anyway.... Forget Heyward

Hendricks FIP and WHIP are not good this year. Under control for 2 more years which is great but he still wouldn't cost a top prospect. If that's what they demand they'll never be able to trade him.

Rather just get Davies for next to nothing

Hendricks is the prize there, he will cost something

Facing yet another lefty and still no reinforcements.

Yup. Seems like every other day we face a southpaw.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Drury get a start today.

Of course, if we get a big RH bat, we'll never see another lefty.

Cubs are practically begging us to make a trade now. Especially after Zack Scott comments yesterday in WFAN

Seriously.

Cubs need to realize, they won’t get anything better than Alex Ramirez…MAYBE Vientos and I still doubt it

We should not have to trade Vientos for any Cub. He'd be the best prospect traded so far this deadline season. That'd be a big overpay based on how the market has been.

[Zmaster52]

Mets have essentially 7 top 100 guys - Alvarez, Baty, Mauricio, Ginn, Vientos, Allan, and PCA. 8 if Rocker signs.

It’s not like the Mets have a bad farm anymore, I’m guessing the team is somewhere in the 10-15 range? And there’s lots of talent soon coming.

If Gallo didn’t net a single top 100 guy then the aforementioned people I mentioned should be off limits for any single player on the market. If we were talking a larger blockbuster trade to include say, Baez/Bryant/Kimbrel, then that’s a little different.

Not too many interesting names that are free agents in 2023, I’m not sure if there’s anybody on the trade block that warrants a top prospect.

Perhaps Mets management needs to consider stacking the lineup with guys who have had recent success against lefty pitching. It might mean benching both Smith and Conforto for today's game (at least not include them in the starting lineup). Drury, Nimmo and Pillar in the OF, Davis at 3b, Villar at ss, McNeil at 2b, Alonso at 1b and either Nido or McCann behind the dish. That leaves just 2 lefties in the starting lineup. Also, there is nothing wrong with bringing up Almora to play CF - looks like he is hitting well lately in Syracuse.

Yep and none of those guys you mentioned should be included in any deal for any of these rental players. I don't care if we're getting Bryant, Baez, and Davies. If an extra year of Gallo costs the Yankees 4 prospects outside their top 10-15, then no rentals are worth our top 100 overall (or borderline top 100)

[5+7=DYNASTY!!!]

Kimbrel is the guy on the Cubs that the Mets should be targeting. Would be amazing if we could get Bryant + Kimbrel in a deal.

Lmao I didn’t know you were still around here.

Agreed though. Ramirez, Cortes, Palmer, Santos, and Butto should be the guys the Mets make available.

Not averse to starting Pillar over Dom, but Dom has been hitting lefties, and had a night off.

Either way on that one is fine with me.

Conforto should definitely take a seat today. Lefty. Day after night. Mendoza line, etc.

Huh?
Ginn and PCA are not top 100 prospects.

Plus the system isn't that deep.
It's an average to slightly above average.

Drury gets the start at 2B as they continue to monitor McNeil's leg "fatigue" (which will be revealed to be more eventually).

I don't understand why Pillar is sitting and they're staying with the struggling Conforto against a lefty.

I say "they're" because, as much as the haters like to contend, the lineup is not solely Rojas's call, especially when taking injuries, compressed schedule, rosters and even the trade deadline into account.

PCA isn’t one mostly because of health, Ginn will certainly be one next year.

Don’t be shocked to see the Mets have almost 10 guys at some point next year.

Also, average to slightly above average would imply a 10-15 range
