Probably not tbh.

As good as Diaz has been, I don't think any MLB reliever is worth a prospect that is hitting like Kelenic tbh.

Guys like Kimbrel are looking for jobs. He is probably the best reliever of this generation.

Kimbrel will get signed after the draft so the team doesn't have to give up a compensatory pick. He's also adamant on a 4 year deal afaik.

Mets need playoffs now and offense isn't their problem. 10 years from now they'll "lose" the trade probably but I don't see why the Mets care about that now.
 
so after his historic 0-fer streak. chris davis is hitting .343 since he finally got a hit

Mets need playoffs now but have shown no indication they're in on Keuchel or Kimbrel. I will take issue with the Cano and Diaz acquisitions if they turn out to be a half-measure simply to sell tickets.

You likely won't be able to pick up a prospect like Kelenic with a late compensatory pick. That seems like a HR pick.

I don't want to say it's a money issue either, because the Mets spend a lot of it. I can't put my finger on it, but I never liked the deal from day 1. I'm just totally against giving up assets for relievers I guess.

I'm not talking about the relative merits of Kelenic vs. Cano/Diaz. Regardless of where it falls you'll always "win" with Kelenic because right now he's a magic bean with no ceiling.

But you asked if they regret it, and I don't think they care at all right now. Kelenic wasn't gonna help the 2019 Mets, that's as far as it goes.

With Familia being ass this season, maybe they give Kimbrel the 4 yrs he's asking.

Idkk.. They could’ve played it safe and signed one of the closers without Diaz.. would’ve had Kelenic, Conforto, Alonso, McNeil, Rosario, Nimmo core for a long long time.

I felt like it was an impulsive deal. If you ask me, a normal franchise would’ve spend for Machado, instead of Cano, and signed Kimbrel instead of giving up their best prospect.
