I couldn't name a single Milwaukee player other than Yelich and Hader before this series started.
Also what happened to Yelich after 2019?

Since the Mets need some pitching, people have been talking about trading Villar.

But considering how good his D is, and his bat is pretty good:

Would it be better to dangle JD Davis?

Unless we're talking about a player that will be around for 2-3 years in the rotation, I wouldn't give up Davis. He isn't great defensively, but his bat is needed. There are eventual 3rd baseman in the system, just not next season. Baty and Vientos are probably 2023 options.

There are plenty of rentals that won't cost that much that can fill in as a 4 or 5 starter. I'd look at Jon Gray from Colorado. Get him out of that ballpark. Would like a bullpen piece too.

Whoever they get will also likely get bumped by Carrasco and Syndergaard when they return. You can't bank on them, but if they are healthy, you're adding two #2s to the rotation.

I like Villar a lot and would like to keep him. Thing is, he's an impending UFA whereas Davis has I believe up to three more years of team control through arbitration. I don't know, it's an interesting scenario, I guess it would come down to what a team offered you. I would be open to trading either for the right price.
 
Man Conforto f***ing sucks. I don't know what's wrong with him. Do we even want to keep him at this point?
Qualify him next year. I just think it’s a lost year for him at this point. He’s looked awful pre and post injury. Unless there is a better FA option that I’m not aware of.

Yeah I feel like you have to qualify him, in the hope that he either rebounds or doesn't sign and you get the comp. If you just let him walk he'd invariably sign with Atlanta or someone and hit 35 homers. But man, right now, it's painful.

There was a window, right before he got hurt this season, he was hitting well.

The injury messed up his rhythm. Maybe he gets it back, I don't know.
 
All star break could be coming at a good time for Conforto. He's healthy, now get away for a while and come back ready to go. Fresh start.
 
Whatever, they took 2 out of 3 against a white hot Brewers team.
