When you look at our schedule- you can easily see 22-26 wins to finish the season. If we do that and somehow, the Braves pass us- there really isn't a whole lot we can do about it.
Outside of maybe Seymore- who did we really give them and Seymore has only been in very low levels.
Zwack and Seymour were nice pieces. The kind of players and depth you need to build up and keep and move through the system so you don't have to call up some of the guys we have been this year. Even Szapucki out of the pen as a leftie might have had some upside.
Mets did move Smith. Trade to Padres was done, and then voided when Paddack failed physical.
It took me two seconds replaying one AB of his right after the trade to see he was the second coming of Cuddyer in G1 of '15 WS. Sad but true.
See below. As of now Vientos would be since he's on the 40 man but no to Alvarez. They could still really get Alvarez on there if needed via the Comm Office petition most likely but don't see it happening.
Sure, it's a conversation. I'm just not sure that the Mets gave up too much given the type of deal it was or that they had one waiting in AAA. In these deals, the contender gives up prospects, some of whom might turn out to be better players than the one received. That's the price. The contender wants now, the other side wants later and lots of it because later often doesn't work out. The Mets gave up mostly older minor leaguers who at best look like potential pen additions. No show stoppers. JD Davis is the conundrum. The Mets gave him the very look--much longer, actually--that you wanted them to give Vientos. All year, he just didn't hit. The trade deadline wasn't going to wait. So they made a move. Then JD starts to hit over his next 40 ABs. That's nice of him. We'll see how it works out by year's end. But if it turns out to be a bad trade it's because Ruf stopped hitting and JD started.

It’s a trap. Mets can cancel the half game loss from yesterday, but i have a bad feeling about it….Jacob deGrom vs Rockies is Biggest MLB Favorite Since ... Jacob deGrom in 2019
Evan Abrams looks into the history of huge MLB lines and how it relates to Jacob deGrom and the Mets vs. Colorado tonight.
I don't think there is such a thing as a trap game in baseball. You aren't going to be looking past a team that you have to play four times in a row.
To be honest- my gut tells me more on the 26-11 type finish but I wanted to be very conservative. Though, the point was also that even with 22-15 to end the season, which would be low end- we would be over 100 wins.
I dont care about them making the playoffs I care about them having 7 more games with the Braves who haven't dominated them like we did. So would strongly prefer that they be fully armed
He’ll be fine. What kills me is that this is Voglebach’s livelihood. There is no excuse to be 300 lbs overweight.
