OT: NY Mets Season

[Doctor Worm]

An admitted thorn here with never being on the DL before, to suddenly being on the DL every stinking day once joining the Mets.

Can't wait to see the loot for Harvey as this disastrous season (that apparently will never end), continues.

Meh. Harvey won't bring back much.

 

[Doctor Worm]

With the Happ and Hamels trades, it's pretty clear that Jake and Thor aren't going anywhere. Neither Yanks nor Cubs make those trades if they had hopes of hitting the jackpot.

 

[tico brown]

He's the kind of guy that makes other players better. You don't have other players. Don't be so salty against one of the only solid locker room guys you have and a Rutgers guy at that. Miserable take.

So I have to kiss his *** because hes a Rutgers guy? Im not blaming Frazier for signing that contract that the idiots Wilpins/Sandy offered him. But what has he done better than Mike Moustakas. Just another Jay Bruce, Jason Vargas, and the other cheap alternatives who have done nothing that the admin has chosen over better players. They actually got lucky with Bautista but I'm sure Authur Jackson will join that list.

 

[tico brown]

Are they releasing Den Dekker. He and I have the same number of hits with the Mets this season.

I honestly didnt even know den Dekker was back on the team. I'm surprised Eric Campbell haven't sauntered back.

 

[Zak57]

I think is Campbell is in Japan but I could be wrong.

Asdrubal shoulded be traded soon.

How is Reyes STILL on the team?

Why hasn't MLB stepped in to force the sale of the team to a more able owner just like what happened to the Dodgers a few years ago?:weary:

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Brewers are now interested in Wheeler and Cabrera. The Brewers seem to always be interested in everyone.

Hopefully, we get something for them.

I’d actually like to see what we could get for deGrom. Can’t see the Mets ever contending again while he’s in his prime. He’s already 30 and I don’t think his value will ever be higher than right now.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Not big on trading #1 pitchers but would be amenable if these jokers weren’t managing the potential deal.

Good point.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Why hasn't MLB stepped in to force the sale of the team to a more able owner just like what happened to the Dodgers a few years ago?:weary:

Because the Dodgers had declared bankruptcy after the McCourt divorce. The concern was solvency, not competence. The league will not mandate competent management, nor should it.

 

[MadRU]

Mets trade Cabrera to the Phils for their number 9 prospect RHP Kilome.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Mets trade Cabrera to the Phils for their number 9 prospect RHP Kilome.

Didn’t expect much for him and that’s exactly what they got.

 

[cubuffsdoug_rivals]

Well, the league should. The Wilpons are like Donald Sterling (former owner of the L.A. Clippers) and Daniel Snyder (Washington Redskins) in that all took and are taking their teams and fans for idiots. It only hurts the brand of the leagues. Baseball can't afford to have the brand take any more hits. I stopped going to games because of the Wilpons. I don't mind spending money if the team is TRYING to win, but the Wilpons are more concern with saving a dollar.

 

[MadRU]

Didn’t expect much for him and that’s exactly what they got.

Actually the talking heads on SNY were saying they got more than expected for him. Cabrera is a couple month position player rental. Pitcher has some upside, hits 97 with a curve slider and change up. His big problem is command. At 23 years old its probably the best the mets could have expected to get.

 

[Zak57]

Good value there. Way better than Familia deal.

 

[shields]

Yes the guys thought mets did well.

Didn’t have the energy or desire to read this word for word since I don’t expect MLB to do anything, but some light on the coupons/McCourt comparison

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Long for the day when Vargas no longer pitches for this team

 

[RU4Real]

This is the worst f*cking organization in professional sports.

 

[Knight Shift]

Wilmer runs like he has a refrigerator strapped to his back.

 

[Zak57]

This is the worst f*cking organization in professional sports.

So close but not the worst. Cleveland browns come to mind.

 

[rurichdog]

And they piss away another one. Shocking.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Mets trade Cabrera to the Phils for their number 9 prospect RHP Kilome.

Kilome has been slotted as the Mets #5 prospect. Excellent value on paper at least.

 

[RUEd]

Kilome has been slotted as the Mets #5 prospect. Excellent value on paper at least.

Espec7eith Cabrera being a free agent at season’s end

 

[BigEastPhil]

Twins got 2 top 15 prospects from the Astros for Ryan Pressley. And he's not a saves guy. Still perplexed why the Mets didn't make a deal with Astros for Familia,

MLB actually has 4 Mets in their Top 100 Prospects: Gimenez; Alonso; Kellenic and Dunn.

 

[Rokodesh]

Kilome has been slotted as the Mets #5 prospect. Excellent value on paper at least.

What happens sooner? Kilome called up to the majors, or sent to the DL with mad cow disease?

Barring any unforeseen revelations, MLB will never pull the franchise. If it were going to happen it would have already. Besides, no reason to believe the other members of the old boys club would support it.

Because that would mean the Mets would have to actually negotiate a good deal that would be beneficial for EVERYONE. Cant do that when you're having your annual liquidation sale to get money for the Islanders Arena and the Mall on the Chop Shop Blocks.

 

[shields]

Like the pickup, like poster wrote Cabrera is a free agent at end of year.

 

[tico brown]

Moustakis to the Brewers. It's ironic that Selig didnt want to at least investigate the Wilpons role in the worst Ponzi scheme in history.

[Doctor Worm]

Guillorme called up to replace Cabrera.

Per Mike Puma of NY Post, Mesoraco likely next to go. Not convinced either Wheeler or Flores will go, as it would mean giving up on 2019.

 

[NJbound]

Still pissed that we gave away Familia, when we could have gotten more.

 

[Foads]

I am still pissed I am a Mets fan.

I like Mesoraco. Plawecki, not so much.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

deGrom pitching = save runs for tomorrow

 

[RuBird]

Jake tried to help himself with a double to no avail

 

[Knight Shift]

deGrom pitching = save runs for tomorrow

deGrom doubles to help his cause. Bats behind him stay asleep. de Grom should wear a tin foil baseball cap.

 

[shields]

But Jacob did not get a good bunt down earlier in game.

 

[RuBird]

But Jacob did not get a good bunt down earlier in game.

I will gladly take giving him 11 runs and he can strikeout every at bat

 

[shields]

Agree get angry they can't score for him.
