OT: Official 2021 NY Mets Season Thread

[BigEastPhil]

The Berrios price was pretty high. #5 overall draft pick in the SS, and the pitcher the Mets traded for Stro two years ago.

Berrios price was very high. Have no qualms Mets not being in on Berrios. Duvall traded for back up catcher. Lol

 

[BigEastPhil]

Mets talking to Twins about Buxton

Nice but he’s injured. And always gets injured.

 

[MadRU]

Nice but he’s injured. And always gets injured.

Then he is a fit.

current injury is hit by pitch in his hand. Not exactly a recurring injury. Top defensive centerfielder with speed and upside at the plate.

But a doubtful trade, would take a lot. Phils interested also.

 

[cicero grimes]

MLB reporting Mets and Rocks have talked about Story but no traction.

 

[BigEastPhil]

They also got Eddie Rosario from the Tribe.

For Pablo Sandoval. Lol. Unreal.

Trade Conforto, Diaz, and Lindor for Judge to the Yankees, since nobody seems to like those guys, and we got the makings of a MASH unit.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Because the team in the Bronx, and other national teams can get top stars for Jimmy Lipper and one glove. The Mets have to give up everyone for the same players.

No, no, no... there's no conspiracy.

I think it's more like Gallo and Rizzo were not in high demand. Other than the Yankees, who wanted them?

Somebody like Bryant, for example, APPEARS (none of us know for sure) to be receiving heavy interest from multiple teams. Cubs can wait until the deadline and pick the best offer. Which appears to be what they are doing.

Sounds like Kimbrel to the WhiteSox

 

[cicero grimes]

White Sox supposedly close to obtaining Kimbral.

Seems like Red Sox were in on Rizzo.

 

[cicero grimes]

Mets, Dodgers, Padres, Phils and Giants all out there lurking. Who pulls the trigger?

 

[MadRU]

Less you then 90 minutes to go.

Better there than to the Phillies.

So the Braves added a guy with 22 hrs and 68 rbi and we're hearing about concerns over team chemistry. Well a chemistry set isn't going to put more runs up on the board!

 

[MadRU]

[yesrutgers01]

Well- if we go Baez- I assume JD is gone. Does Baez go to 2B and McNeil 3B. If so, do we put them in those positions day 1 as opposed to Baez to SS until Lindor is back.

 

[MadRU]

[Zak57]

Let's see what we gave up!

 

[MadRU]

Reports were that Mets GM Zack Scott walked out onto the field. Spoke to Lindor for a few minutes. Left field and trade was made.

Agreed. I am more concerned about physics than chemistry - the physics of hitting a baseball.

 

[Knight Shift]

 

[Doctor Worm]

Meh. Would I trade three years of Davis control for two months of Baez control, straight up? Not sure. I am sure I wouldn't add ANY top prospects to the package.

This trade only makes sense if they can sign Baez long term.

 

[Zak57]

Getting Trevor Williams in addition to Baez.

 

[Knight Shift]

Agreed. I am more concerned about physics than chemistry - the physics of hitting a baseball.

Let's bring back Cespedes.

 

[MadRU]

Getting Trevor Williams in addition to Baez.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Getting Trevor Williams in addition to Baez.. Trevor Williams awful. Baez I guess

 

[Doctor Worm]

Let's bring back Cespedes.

If I felt that Cespedes could help me for two months, and the price was right, then sure!

 

[BigEastPhil]

Happy with Baez. Trevor Williams is awful. What did we give up? Still hour to go.

Nobody's talking team chemistry except one writer/broadcaster. If Mets get Javy Baez, will take him 10X over Adam Duvall who pales in comparison.

Ive literally never heard of Trevor Williams. Google time.

 

[cubuffsdoug]

Trevor Williams? When did Chris start calling the shot for the Mets front office? Watch the Mets' front office congratulate themselves for a job well done.

[Zak57]

Phllies getting Gibson and Kennedy.
