From what I understand, they wanted 26 over 3 (including the 5 they owe this year). They are lowballing him, which is the only reason he is available.

Also if everyone else is going all useless twitter, I'm dropping this one on y'alls

My MLB source tells me that if this trade gets done, it will be RA Dickey for Travis D'Arnaud and Noah Snydergaard. #Mets #BlueJays
I mean, I have more rep than that guy.

Also an excellent point.
If the Jays trade D'Arnaud to get Dickey, and win a World Series I can witness (and appreciate this time), then I will quickly forget about D'Arnaud.
Not that it's the same situation, but everyone made fun of the Kaberle deal at the time, and even after.
If memory serves right, he lead their D in points, and they won the Cup. It's why you play the games.
If TDA is going back, no chance it would just be for Dickey. I think this trade would get bigger and theyd be giving us back at least one quality propsects for our system that may be a few years away still. Michael Fulmer would be a nice pick up, good righty, played in the SCL last year and had a decent year. Has a really storng work ethic. One year younger then Sanchez and Syndergaard but I think hed be going into Dunedin with them. (definitely see Fulmer as a prospect AA would go after)
Maybe:
Dickey + Davis + Fulmer
for
TDA + Rasmus + Lind
We get our Ace, they get the top prospect, we get another bat and they take some salary on, they get a starting CF with decent potential still, and we get a prospect that would just add more depth to the system.

Might as well just say
"I have read Baseball America and decided I want the Mets to have Travis D'Arnaud and Noah Syndergaard" notice the proper spelling of Syndergaard there lol.

We would make the playoffs without Dickey. Keeping d'arnaud will extend the years we make the playoffs. Dickey is a ticking time bomb. Does that make sense to you?

They've finally realized they need to rebuild and they are moving older pieces out. Same thing the jays did. This is a perfect scenario for them getting to sell at his peak value.

I think we are wasting our time discussing this anyway. Didn't AA himself say that if you hear some Jays rumours in the media, they are probably not true?

Outside of Darvish (which was created by the media well before the bidding even occurred), there really hasn't been one that's had legs like this.
Even the guys who are usually shooting these down (Wilner, Davidi etc) have said there's something going on.

Oh really? I guess I am not as updated on this as most everybody here is.

Good thing he was reffering to Travis Esteban D'Arnaud and not our TDA. Plus Noah Snydergaard is a scrub, Syndergaard is much better.
I think comparing a potential trade involving D'Arnaud in terms of hockey is awful. You're basically looking at age, status and prospect rank and making a sheer comparison (D'Arnaud -> Reilly, Dickey -> Selanne) without taking into account the differences in the prospect and development system of both sports, as well as other factors such as drafts (40 rounds compared to 7) as well as the amount of prospects available (Bauer who has been ranked as a top 5 prospect for the past year or so brought back a mediocre return; you can fault management a little for that though.)
I'm not sure which fan base is more annoying Mets fans or Cardinal fans. I've been on a few Mets boards reading their reaction..yikes. Let's just they're uninformed
