NFT: Out of the box three way trade proposal (mets)

CMicks3110 : 8/1/2014 4:01 pm
It's predicated on the Rockies wanted to clean house, but I think it could work and fit three teams needs:

Mets get
1.Troy Tulowitzki SS (COL)
2.Daniel Nava OF (BOS)
3.Rex Brothers RP (COL)
4.Cristhian Adames INF (COL)

Red Sox get
1.Carlos Gonzalez OF (COL)
2.Jorge De La Rosa SP (COL)
3.Bartolo Colon SP (NYM)
4.Wilin Rosario C (COL)

Rockies get
1.Jackie Bradley Jr. OF (BOS)
2.Noah Syndergaard SP (NYM)
3.Blake Swihart C (BOS)
4.Jonathan Niese SP (NYM)
5.Wilmer Flores IF (NYM)
6.Ruben Tejada SS (NYM)

Boston is retooling, has a need at Catcher and Starting Pitching, they pick up two SPs in Colon and De La Rosa while maintaining payroll flexibility long term if they want to sign a big SP in addition; they also get a starting caliber catcher and a big left handed bat in a lineup made up of primarily right-handed hitters (sans big papi)

Rockies get a major outfield prospect, a top 3 pitching prospect, a top catching prospect, a controllable young SP, and two potentially starting caliber infielders. Plus major salary relief.

Mets get their franchise player, a platoon leftfielder in Nava, and a good lefty reliever.

Thoughts?

The trade deadline passed

And I dont like the Mets giving away so much SP - Colon is fine, but Niese and Syndergaard on top of that?

Let's build around our young pitching. Not trade them for vets.

Why in the hell would we trade for talent at catcher when Christian Vazquez, with Molina like defense, just got to the majors and a highly regarded hitting prospect in Swihart isn't far behind? De La Rosa and Colon are back of the rotation filler, and Cargo has both an injury history and the stigma of being a Colorado hitter with a career home/road OPS split of 986/753.

This trade isn't just a no. It's an aw hell no.
Please call Francessa and run it by him

Flores to the sox, and replace Colon with Montero, is that more fair Weatherman?
Lol.

Wow. Can we throw in Wheeler and Harvey too??

Make that trade in the Show.
hey  
CMicks3110 : 8/1/2014 4:48 pm : link
i'm just thinking outside the box here, no need to criticize me personally, if you don't like the trade, fine, tell me where i'm off. And yes, I have free time - if you saw my post a few weeks ago, i've been working part-time, looking aggressively for full-time work, and there are only so many resumes and job applications I can fill out in a day, so sports is a good outlet while I'm waiting to find something. Big f'ing deal.
The only player the Mets get that I think will help is Tulo.

Trading Syndegaard, Niese and Flores is too much.
Montero, Thor,  
SuperRonJohnson : 8/1/2014 5:12 pm : link
and Niese? Our pitching strength becomes a weakness? No thanks.
ok, retry #1

why in the world would the Red Sox want Colon?  
mfsd : 8/1/2014 5:30 pm : link
he's old, and pitching well for now b/c he's figured out a new way to take PEDs and not get caught for a little while

You don't think Colon
