in all this would be acquiring Bruce. Bruce is making more than Gomez and is having the better year. He doesn't play CF but Im fine rotating outfielders around paying Granderson in CF a little. Grandson's range in RF this year has been excellent.
Im also not so sure Conforto has LF locked up for the rest of the season. The 4 hit game was nice and all but he needs to keep hitting to keep his spot.
and said this wasnt about the money, it was the medical.
The Astros trade is a gut punch. It looks to me like they took a bit of a discount (when you factor in Fiers and the comp round pick). But this wasnt a giveaway. Houston gave up a lot. #40 prospect, Nimmo/Rosario level prospect, and at least one of the others was interesting.

its about the money with the Mets. Lets not fool ourselves
Think the Mets backed out of the trade because of money. Not that they arent cheap, but why agree to it in the first place if you didnt want to spend the money? I think they didnt want to risk dealing a starting caliber pitcher who is locked up for a few years and a player who has flashed starting ability for a one and a half year deal with a player who has injury concerns.
The Astros were willing to take the risk. I am not going to kill Mets ownership for this.
Our bullpen consisting of Familia, Mejia and Parnell seemed invincible. Now Familia and Parnell can't pitch a scoreless inning and Mejia is suspended. Our newly acquired Tyler Clippard can't replace all three.

Cuddyer 8.5, Gee 5.3, Mayberry 1.45, Parnell 3.7
So we can defend Sandy all we want... imagine what basically 20 million worth of talent would look like vs. that off-season?
Less than two years of Chase Headley?
That really sucks. He would have totally changed this lineup.

Familia needs to get better fast!
Gomez no trade
gut wrenching rain delay loss
Leathersich and Blake Taylor need TJs

So why are his SB's abysmal, and what about that quote from Gomez?
On deck:
-can still make a trade after the deadline
-winter meeting options
- maybe more players crying and the Manager wondering WTF is happening
