OT: 2018-19 NY Mets Offseason "Hot Stove" Thread

[cicero grimes]

Hopefully the Mets will get insurance on Cano's contract.

 

[Zak57]

Sounds like Swarzak going to Philly in the Segura deal.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Cano/Diaz trade now official. All physicals passed. Presser tomorrow.

Yes, but that cost will count towards the Wilpon cap.

I guess steroid testing is not part of a standard physical.

Lmao.

Joe didn't know!

There's a million of them!!!

Good one.

 

[ruready4somefootball]

If it was, the Yankees couldn't field a team,during their"run", and yea, another "Joe didn't know"!!!!!!!

 

[Doctor Worm]

Interesting that the Mets are giving him his old #24. They had semi-retired that number for Willie Mays, although they did make an exception for Ricky Henderson.

 

[RU85inFla]

Lmao.

Jokes on you buddy. I'm a lifelong Mets fan. Like I said, I guess steroid testing was not part of the physical.

Lol, sorry.:smiley:

 

[RU85inFla]

Lol, sorry.:smiley:

No need to be sorry. Its a message board.

Actually I busted my Yankee fan friends for decades over how they overlooked steroids. Can't be a hypocrite.

All I know is the crapola they’ve done in the last 32 years hasn’t worked.

Won’t read. Forced to view this positively.

All about what comes next now.

I know that sportswriters have to made these types of instant evaluations. It's their job. But IMO evaluating this trade in a vacuum is a fool's errand. More moves are coming and they will all be interrelated. Wait until February or March when the dealing's done. There'll be time enough for counting then.

Agreed. If they do nothing now, this trade is royally asinine.

I know if was half in jest but after failing last year for a masking agent, I am sure that MLB tests him regular...
But let's be honest, who do you think in baseball doesnt take something illegal? Everyone throws 100 mph and everyone hits the ball 450 feet.

Every Yankee maybe.:smiley::baseball::eyes:

Any questions?

 

[FrankZ]

Think this Brodie gets it: ‘For years now this team has had far too many ifs.’ I’m listening...

 

[Zak57]

I needed to hear this.

BVW says there would have to be "very special circumstances for us to even consider" trading Syndergaard. He is part of the Mets core. -- Anthony DiComo

 

[ruready4somefootball]

Any questions?

Yes, just one question,can we put a * next to the ones starting with 1996???

 

[ruready4somefootball]

This Mets season is going to be unlike anything we've seen since 2015.

 

[ruready4somefootball]

Phillies trade Carlos Santana to Seattle,what?

 

[Kbee3]

This Mets season is going to be unlike anything we've seen since 2015.

Where have I heard that before ?

 

[Zak57]

Corbin to the Nats. NL East having a crazy week.

 

[graystork]

Any questions?

Yeah, how many were you alive for?

 

[T2Kplus10]

Yeah, how many were you alive for?

Many more than just 1986. :)

 

[FrankZ]

Thinking about it also we just hired two huge pieces to the FO so why can't we let them get settled in before making a move like this. Our new analytics guy didn't even get his computer on and we're making a huge stupid deal.

Per Brodie, these guys were involved too. Rumor is moved fast on Diaz to block Phils getting him with Segura.

Yeah, they were tired of his evil ways.

 

[Knight Shift]

Mets still in on trade for Realmuto?

[WhiteBus]

Syndegaard for Realmuto? Would Mets fans do this deal?

 

[ruready4somefootball]

Where have I heard that before ?

lol, what can I say,it's the life of a Mets fan.:joy:

 

[rubaseball78]

Syndegaard for Realmuto? Would Mets fans do this deal?

No. Would need to be more.

 

[ruready4somefootball]

Syndegaard for Realmuto? Would Mets fans do this deal?

no way

 

[FrankZ]

Syndegaard for Realmuto? Would Mets fans do this deal?

LOL.

Pitching and defense I think they say wins championships. :)
