But with the Dodgers need for immediate pitching help I don't see a connection that works unless it gets really intricate.
A deal with Niese and prospects (in the pool of: nimmo, fulmer, montero, wheeler)? I think Puig is a name that hasn't been mentioned much and would be a "big bat".
biggest bat available this entire deadline. Bigger than Tulo, Gomez or anyone. That right handed bat in the middle of the lineup would transform this team.
jesus, this is the craziest 72 hours I can ever remember with this team - and that's including Tony Bernazard's boxing academy and Steve Phillips internship summit.
Cespedes? LOL how many guys just posted we were out on him?
But if we did land him, we sure as hell better be serious about signing him long-term.
Why? Whats the difference between he, Upton, or Parra? It would be nice don't get me wrong, but like Clippard and the rest of the deals its a move for this year first and foremost.

#Mets have talked to #Brewers about Carlos Gomez, sources tell me and @jonmorosi. No deal appears close. NYM also looking at other hitters.

#Brewers know they have little chance of keeping Carlos Gomez after next year. Move now would maximize return.

Funny thing ... last time I spoke to him he asked ... arcarsenal? lol
If this guy doesn't know who I am, I am done with him..
Seriously, though.. Gomez seems to fit the criteria. He has all the check marks. Good fit position-wise, not a rental, not mentioned as one of the players the Mets are "out" on...
Z continuing to link Parra with the likes of Cespedes and Upton

Because Cespedes is going to cost more than Parra. Why wouldn't we push to keep him here if we acquire him?

Was told #Brewers like Flores and he is starting at SS tonite. He wouldn't be main piece, but Milw has always rated him well #Mets
IMO he has always been the best possible target...Flores + Wheeler + Nimmo? Done deal from me.

Well Id want to sure but Im not going to cry if we can't. Its a huge power move for this year and Ill worry about the offseason in the offseason. Id only be upset if it was a killer prospect going back but a package of Niese? I wouldn't care to much.

I actually just mentioned Flores to Milwaukee in the other thread.

You may want to get a CAT scan you're memory is terrible.
Did you even read the context of that? I was referring to them all being free agents at years end and us having to re-sign them. Are you really this fucking stupid?? Really???
I don't have the energy to get on today's fight card.
Really odd. Don't even know what your referring to or why you feel the need to come at me. Because I said I suggested Flores in a deal with Dan earlier?? You took offense to that? lol
No. Braun might be a surprise though and they were talking to Milwaukee today.

Talks "very fluid." #Mets pushing Jon Niese and other prospects, players not named Wheeler, says source.

Agreed Arc. That guy even said it could be a 3 team trade. Seems to conflict 10 other guys saying there's smoke with Mets/Gomez.

Question I have is do #Mets value 1 1-2 yrs of Gomez enough to give up Wheeler, who I also heard #Brewers value highly

Justin Upton is jogging out to left field. Sources: my eyes
Cespedes? Where the fuck do you see me comparing Parra to Cespedes??
Huh? As far as what? I don't think Gomez bat works in a corner. What does that have to do with anything?
This!!!
And I think I'm wearing out the Twitter part of my iPhone

That's off Ross, too.. Ross pretty much NEVER allows HR's
If Duda really does come alive for real we'll be very strong.
