Luis the cleanup man. Lot more Mets fans in attendance today. I think this was the easiest one to get tickets to due to it being a noon start.
I think ideally, Carrasco is in the rotation and Peterson is in the pen.We need some deGromination, Mad Max, Walker, Peterson and Bassitt at full strength.
I agree as Carasco has been a starter for so long now, a move may damage him more...but...if Peterson is still pitching this well and Carasco is still struggling...deGrom/Max/Bassit/Walker/Pederson is one heck of a rotation. Also a rotation made for a huge playoff runI think ideally, Carrasco is in the rotation and Peterson is in the pen.
Forgot about Cookie. Hopefully, Megill in long relief too?I think ideally, Carrasco is in the rotation and Peterson is in the pen.
I wish we could clone Diaz. I don't trust anyone else in the bullpen.Your boy who you've been clamoring for again Doug. Diaz shouldn't even need to get up today.
I think it will be very hard for the Mets to make a significant deal. Their farm system is topheavy with little depth. They may have a small handful of top end prospects (Mauricio?) whom they are willing to trade. But sellers don't always want prospects. They want young, controllable players with an MLB track record. Mets have few if any of these guys. Maybe Tylor Megill?Big W !!
Someone is going to make the first big move during break or right out of it
Go get Josh Bell !
All well and good if you aren't living in the blackedout area which, I believe most of us are...
Correct on the six! You got Plawecki who I think was the toughest. Actually as of today there is a seventh. I just saw that the Nats called up Tyler Clippard. I had no idea he was still pitching, but he is.Familia, Matz, d’Arnaud, Syndergaard, Flores, Plawecki
Robles, Harvey?
Agreed. The Mets might not need to make a bullpen move if DeGrom comes back and the other starters stay healthy. DeGrom, Max, Cookie, Bass and Walker are a very solid 5 man rotation. Peterson and Megill might be able to take the 7th and 8th and be a bridge to Diaz. A bat is probably an easier and less expensive lift.I think it will be very hard for the Mets to make a significant deal. Their farm system is topheavy with little depth.

Also, with the expanded playoff system there will be very few teams out of it by July 31. More buyers than sellers = sellers market.
Mets best chance may be to find somebody looking to dump salary.
Vientos is the guy who should be up here. Not Alvarez, which at this point is just crazy talk.
Agreed 100%. In reading the tea leaves though I think they're going to use Vientos as their big trade chip. There's no reason he shouldn't be up just for his power but maybe they're not as high on him. I don't understand why they wouldn't have called him up a few weeks ago.Vientos is the guy who should be up here. Not Alvarez, which at this point is just crazy talk.
