OT: MLB Thread XLV

[NYSPORTS]

Don't really care about Cano anymore, he's performing. You know it's going to be bad sometime next year or the year after. Bite the bullet. They have the DH, so he's not blocking any playing time. He starts sucking, hopefully Cohen just buys him out at that point. Dude is loaded so it shouldn't hurt as bad as the Wilpons doing it.

Just send Diaz somewhere for something. Even if it is a decent prospect or another young piece that needs a new home. Next 24 hours would be ideal. Would not wait until the offseason.

who cares if Cano is performing? He’s a 39 and baseball dinosaur.

Agree about Cohen though. So long as this goes through he can buy out guys out and make us forget about the Wilpons and this dope GM.

Baseball...

 

[JimmyG89]

Padres have been making all kinds of moves. One of the best prospect systems is throwing it's weight around.

I'll stick to my guns, hope the market is set up for sellers. Mets are too far out with the amount of games left and how they are performing.

 

[Greg02]

Maybe the Padres would like an Edwin Diaz while they're busy trading for everyone?

They're only interested in good players.

Bottom line...the Mets are cursed. No other explanation for what occurred yesterday. Funny, was playing golf yesterday with some buds and my podner is a huge Met fan like me. We are keeping track of the game while we are playing and when Mets went up 7-2, 99% of team fan bases would think it's probably over and we got this.

We both said almost at same time that there is no doubt the Yankees are going to at very least put a scare into the Mets if not win. He looks at his phone and he says "Billy...it's 7-4 and Diaz is in". That's when I knew we were done.

This team is eternally cursed and it's not going to change until the Wilpons are gone which I pray happens next year. I truly believe the Wilpons made a few deals with the devil over the years with the Madolf one the main one and it's haunted us ever since. I have no doubt in my mind once they are gone and Steve Cohen takes over, there will be sincere hope once again that a championship could be won again in our lifetimes.

Oh and I agree with you guys....BVW should do a complete sell off...we aint going anywhere anyhow even if we made the playoffs. Keep the core guys and get rid of everyone else...it needs to happen but it won't!

 

[Adam Fox Time]

I really hope the Yankees keep Erik Kratz.

Looks like a good defensive catcher, but beyond that he was behind the plate for two great games by Happ and Deivi. He already formed a relationship with Deivi lol

I mean the whole series was the Mets and Yankees taking turns just imploding and stepping on their dicks.

Neither are cursed per say. It happens. It all just seemed to happen spectacularly in one weekend.

One of the craziest series I've ever seen.

I've been a Met fan for almost 50 years...I'll stick with the "they are not just cursed but f'n cursed" theory of mine...lol

But yes no question one of it not THE most bizarro world Met Yankee series ever!!!

 

[Bob Richards]

Bob Cano having a legitimately excellent season really helps put the bow on this bizarre year

 

[sbjnyc]

As The Post reported at the time, Cohen’s prior $2.6 billion bid for the Mets fell apart in February after he was informed by Fred and Jeff Wilpon that the family wanted Jeff to maintain total operational control of the Mets during a five-year transition period between the ownership groups. Cohen balked entirely when Jeff also made it clear he expected to have a senior role within the organization and retain his title of COO, his salary and even perks like a private plane after Cohen took over.

This time there is no transition period, and Jeff Wilpon will not be retaining a management position.

Cohen may be a dirtbag but he's my kind of dirtbag.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Cohen may be a dirtbag but he's my kind of dirtbag.

I just can't even wrap my head around how stupid that is if totally true.

No one buying any sort of company at any level would take that on. Ever. Incredibly silly to even ask/demand that.

 

[Adam Fox Time]

I wonder if the Yankees will make any trades.

Hell no at Deivi Garcia for Lance Lynn, if nothing else.

They do if it's well run. The Mets on the other hand...

[GoAwayGiannone]

Todd Frazier again? He was such a frustrating player last ye-FLY ME TO THE MOON LET ME PLAYYYYY AMONG THE STARS LET ME SEE WHAT SPRING IS LIKE ON A JUPITER OR MARS

 

[Maximus]

Cohen may be a dirtbag but he's my kind of dirtbag.

Agreed...lol

 

[Maximus]

We obviously know all about the Todfather and Chirinos I've picked him up on waivers a few times over the years in money league and he's basically "meh".

But what about Castro?

He'd better be good.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Any time you can grab 36 and 34 year old position players you got to.

especially when those players are awful...how could you not

 

[Machinehead]

The Yankees are going to give us the "the injury returnees are like deadline acquisitions" spiel, watch.

I mean it applies here.

Im glad they didnt do anything. This season is stupid and you might as well hope that your guys are back and ready when the playoffs start.

I'm not saying I hate it, but watch Michael say it tonight.

Oh its a lock.

I've had next to zero interest in this season though. If they actually get through the playoffs I hope the Padres win it all.

 

[Adam Fox Time]

The only interesting player this trade deadline was Clevinger. Maybe Starling Marte as well but we don't need more outfielders.

And I'm really glad we didn't trade Deivi for Clevinger.
