OT: MLB Discussion Thread: Part XXIV

[BMOK33]

Syndergaard and Realmuto are both overrated. Syndergaard outside of flashes of brilliance in 2016 hasn’t really looked consistently good and Realmuto is not that young and is a catcher, a position with rapid decline. I still wouldnt expect anyway the Mets trade with the Yankees

You have some bad hot takes and this one is right up there.

 

[darko]

I think Gray and Stanton were poor moves.

He traded peanuts for Stanton who had a down year and still put up 4.2 WAR season. How is that a bad deal?

 

[darko]

Either they don't want to spend any money or they actually think they're as good as the Red Sox. Which is it?

They don't want to hand out ridiculous contracts such as 12/400 which is what Harper and Machado are asking for. I don't blame them.

 

[darko]

Prefer Harper. But come away with Machado.

The other names in that tweet should be support players.

Trade for Kluber

Seriously doubt we get Kluber. I think he's LA bound for Alex Verdugo ++

 

[Cassano]

Would take Wheeler if Syndergaard/DeGrom off limits.

Also wondering at what cost it would be worth to deal Syndergaard. Realmuto + Hicks/Florial? Andujar included?

 

[Irishguy42]

NYY gets Thor
NYM gets Realmuto
MIA gets Andujar

Something like that. Florial likely in there somewhere but it's the Marlins, so obv they will get the short end here.

Mets should just sign Grandal and be done with it if they want catching so badly.

 

[Irishguy42]

Real talk tho: Thor can't come to the Bronx b/c he'd have to cut his hair, and that is unacceptable.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Here's a much better thought: keep your f***ing stud rotation together, stop the Realmuto obsession, and just sign Grandal.

 

[darko]

Here's a much better thought: keep your ****ing stud rotation together, stop the Realmuto obsession, and just sign Grandal.

And if they miss out on Grandal go after someone like Ramos on a 1 or 2 year deal. Or Jonathan Lucroy.

Could use another starter and a reliever. Maybe someone like Gio Gonzalez. RP like David Robertson would be handy too.

The Marlins were asking for Conforto and Rosario+. Andujar alone doesn’t do it.

yasss.

been there for awhile now.

that seems to make so much sense.

 

[RGY]

You mean Andujar who has put a better season than both already?

Cmon now this is just silly.

 

[Irishguy42]

You didn't read the second part tho.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Just. Sign. Grandal.

JFC.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Asking prices change.

Also possible that the Yankees have and are willing to deal the types of players the Mets don't have/aren't willing to deal.

But as everyone has said, its a long shot. I'm not sure how it would come together but even if they reach an agreement, the Wilpons still own the team and I can't see them signing off of any trade that involves the Yankees.

 

[sbjnyc]

Cmon now this is just silly.

Conforto had a higher WAR than Andujar. Mets don't need Wilmer Flores Jr.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Conforto had a higher WAR than Andujar. Mets don't need Wilmer Flores Jr.

Apparently, so did McNeil. Defensive metrics must have killed Andujar.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Conforto had a higher WAR than Andujar. Mets don't need Wilmer Flores Jr.

Except he's had a season much better than Flores ever had but lets ignore that.

Mets wouldn't be getting him anyway, he'd be going to Miami.

 

[One Winged Angel]

The Marlins were asking for Conforto and Rosario+. Andujar alone doesn’t do it.

Andujar has far more value than both of those two.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Apparently, so did McNeil. Defensive metrics must have killed Andujar.

They did. According to Baseball-Refernece, his bat was 21 runs above average and his fielding was 25 runs below average. If he played average defense, he would have had a 5 win season.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Andujar has far more value than both of those two.

More than Rosario for sure Don't know about Conforto.

Depends on how teams feel about those extra years of control.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

 

[RGY]

Just seeing this start to unfold now, but was likely path all along.

Andujar gets traded for high end SP
Replace him with Machado.

Still want Murphy for 2B
Ottavino
Miller

 

[BroadwayBlues]

NYY gets Thor
NYM gets Realmuto
MIA gets Andujar

Something like that. Florial likely in there somewhere but it's the Marlins, so obv they will get the short end here.

Mets should just sign Grandal and be done with it if they want catching so badly.

I think it would be more:

NYM get Andujar+Realmuto
NYY get Syndergaard
MIA get Conforto+Rosario

Something like that.
