Reds willing to trade Jay Bruce to the Mets for Zack Wheeler now. Worth watching over the next 20 hours.
about losing fulmer if they were to resign cespedes, but im not too confident in that. That said we kept wheeler so im happy about that. You werent getting Cespedes for Gsellman and Montero, you have to give to get.

Fulmer would hurt as much as Wheeler for me. That's a steep price. This team could win a championship with Cespedes. It's a longshot but it is possible. If it turns out to be Fulmer I think you'd have to do it.
Still have Wheeler back next June and Montero and Niese. We should be fine. And the dream rotation is still in tact. I knew it would be somebody good though.

Smoker is a reclamation prospect but throws mid to high 90's from the left side. Killing it in AA right now but he's sorta old at 26.
and I've never seen a picture of Fulmer.Fulmer might be great and win a couple of Cy Youngs but I am thrilled to see that ZW will be on the bump for the Mets next June, thrilled
We might be able to coax Fred into opening his checkbook. Especially if Cespedes gets here and goes on a romp. That's what we have to hope for as Mets fans on both counts.
Now fire Collins so he doesn't hold the team back.
Are the Mets sending a jet or helicopter to pick..
But I am so fucking happy right now. I'm sorry but this is a much bigger bat than Gomez. Back to an A+ deadline for me. Three big bats and a setup man/closer is as much as we could have ever dreamed for and we got the best bat on the entire market(sorry Tulo). Now let's get some players back and make the damn playoffs.

What a spectacular trade deadline for Sandy Alderson, acquiring four major contributors without giving up a big prospect or big-leaguer.

He did great. The team is much better than a week ago.

Fulmer is not a big prospect yet but if he continues like this, he will be
at some point this organization had to give up a pitcher for a bat. If you told me we would add Cespedes and still have The big 5 plus Niese and Montero, I'd say we did pretty well.
Of course there is the caveat of locking up Cespedes but let's worry about that in November. We have a pennant race to win.
I have looked at Mazzoni or Wieck's numbers in San Diego. Once they are gone, I dont care. Fulmer could win a Cy Young or 2 but i dont care about him anymore
Secondary stuff and command are not consistently there, but if he can still throw 97 with the same movement, he has the potential in time to be a 1/2 starter.
Even with the injury, I think Wheeler's chances of being a frontline starter are better than Fulmer's.

we complained we are never in on any of the good ones. Now we have one and we are worried about next year if he's gone? Please explain?
Let me ask you this: Are you self-aware that you prioritize the present Mets over the future Mets much more than many posters here? It's not a criticism -- there is no right or wrong balance there. But at times you seem unable to even grasp why people are worried about what happens next, after the season is over.
We need a bat now. We can do something this year!! Let's ride this wave. Maybe we re sign cespedes maybe we don't but let's stop being typical met fans and relish the act that we have a legit chance right now. It's time to change the mindset. We traded a AA and a A pitcher for an allstar.
No disrespect I like you as a poster a lot, but I've been playing the"future" game for the last 5-6 years, that was the thing that kept me going, but finally have a team that can truly compete night in and night out this season feels different. I'll always be looking to the future, but I can now enjoy the present. Hope that answers you

Exactly!!! It's not doom and gloom and wait till next year anymore. Let's get into the dance and make a scene!!!
I just think getting to the 1st round is a real long shot
I didnt want to put a lot of eggs into the 2015 basket. One WC is spoken for, and getting to the WC is only 50% getting to the playoffs. Its mostly division or bust, and the Nats are just more talented.
Im not necessarily for or against this trade. I was more worried about giving 2, 3, 4 important pieces. But my preference was to get pieces back that had some term on them.

Now fire Collins so he doesn't hold the team back.
watched as recently as this season Eric Campbell hitting clean up. Muno Cecilini Kirk Recker Mayberry were nice guys, but would you pay to watch them hit?

But at least we have Harvey, Thor, and JDG.
Just love that Sandy finally showed us that hes got a pulse and took a risk. Whether it pans out or not, I cant fault him for making the move.

About 4 mil left on his contract from what i read, i wonder if the mets are actually going ot pick that up
Montero still has sore shoulder. But Matz is on the mend as well
Now fire Collins so he doesn't hold the team back.
I think this is an excellent trade, let's hope they do what's necessary when it's time to retain him.
It's the Mets. They set up an Uber ride.

him up from Baltimore??

Acela is faster and cheaper, sandy would advise that.
BTW bing lost conforto, nimmo, and fulmer. They are probably going to struggle

He must becoming tomorrow because no way the Wilpons are paying the surge pricing on a Friday night.

Scout on Fulmer recently says development has taken a jump. Won't be long until MLB ready. Legit mid rotation guy.

Jacob DeGrom is the second-best pitcher in the NL right now.
Matt Harvey.
If Fulmer makes an all star team in the future, who cares.
Even with the injury, I think Wheeler's chances of being a frontline starter are better than Fulmer's.
How about Reyes?

How much does Cadaver cost to sit on the DL now?
Yes. For a Las Vegas 51's ticket.
