Blue Jays Discussion: Off-Season Madness the 10th: Melk Man Edition

[JAMmer124]

How come nobody talks about romero? They could view him as a reclamation project and we take niese-- the safer bet maybe?

Not a good time to deal Ricky. Last season would really hurt his trade value. He's being pushed down the rotation, but I still think he's a huge part of the team, especially in the clubhouse.

 

[Bravid Nonahan]

It's bigger than that

Let's get David Wright too! And move Lawrie to err...idk

I still feel very strongly that Niese will be coming in with Buehrle either being involved in this trade or being flipped elsewhere shortly thereafter.

Can either of them play second?

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Can someone with any knowledge of the mets desirable assets give us a breakdown?

 

[Stats01]

Can either of them play second?

Wasn't Lawrie drafted as a second baseman? That would be insane if that happened haha

 

[theaub]

He was actually drafted as a catcher

Lawrie for Dickey

 

[dredeye]

Nope and he will never play there again.

 

[Nasty Nazem]

How much bigger could the deal get? I mean, I don't think Niese along with Dickey would be included. Perhaps Thole and Davis with Lind inclusion + TDA +?

 

[dredeye]

Man I'm very much worried about the prospects we may lose if this does get much bigger.

 

[Epictetus]

I wonder about the possibility of a third team being involved. The Mets really have nothing that valuable, while that third team could help out. A team like the Angels makes sense since they desperately need pitching.

 

[TootooTrain]

Same. I hope by "expanded" they mean, add thole.

 

[FlareKnight]

Well the fact that we're hearing something makes me wonder if it's actually going to go down. So many things have come right out of nowhere.

Trout?

 

[Cool Beans Man]

This reminds me of the Marlins deal so much. It started with Johnson and Nicolino and just spiralled from there. I could see the same thing happening lol

The Mets just don't have nearly as many enticing pieces. At least to help the team out right away.

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Would be odd for Mets to take Buehrle who would make a combined more than Niese + what Dickey is asking for over the next 3 years (46 vs 48M). It makes a lot of sense from the Jays perspective though.

 

[Woodman19]

AA likes his one stop shopping.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Can people cut it with this trash already?

 

[Puckstuff]

With the way AA works I could see him pulling of some mega trade

JP + LIND FOR IKE DAVIS
BUERHLE + GOSE FOR NIESE
OSUNA FOR DICKEY

Final deal:

Osuna, Gose, Lind, Arencibia, Buerhle for Dickey, Davis, Neise

So for the mets their Major league roster goes from:

an ACE with just a few years left,
a controllable young pitcher
A big power bat ...........

To

a young controllable starting catcher
an innings eater veteran
a useful but below average first basemen

but in the process aquire two top prospects, one close to major league ready, the other a few years away but has huge potential.


Jays get WAY better for LESS money. But farm takes a big blow.

If we add a pitcher Niese could be coming our way

 

[Woodman19]

Davis must be the key piece if we are going to part with serious young talent.

Young controllable player with upside at a position we are lacking organizational depth in.

 

[Scion]

If it is Jonathan Niese you will have solidified yourself as a reputable insider in my eyes

 

[KlattNazty]

yeah this is my thought. and i wouldnt even be shocked to see Niese as a possible piece either.

 

[Scion]

Come on MSN, there is much to discuss.

I'm thinking that's where AA is looking next. This could get crazy.
