Reds willing to trade Jay Bruce to the Mets for Zack Wheeler now. Worth watching over the next 20 hours.
Cespedes is on the block because he can't be QO'd. Which means he walks and they get no compensation for him. Nothing. It's a clean break. That's bad asset management.
You mean how the Mets lost Reyes?
Mets did QO Reyes. Got Place kri and a Reynolds as comp.
Not Reynolds. It was Plawecki and what ended up being Ivan Wilson.
We dont have a long term solution yet at SS, and that's one of the toughest positions to BS your way through.
Come on Deej. He is the one you can absolutely trade. We have to part with somebody. You prefer Fulmer, Nimmo, Cecchini, Smith, Conforto?? Lets be a bit realistic here.
Assuming that what we're getting back is a fair return for each of these players (acknowledging they have different values), Fulmer and Smith are the ones I trade most quickly. Then probably Nimmo. Last is the SSs and Conforto.
I mean, what's the argument to trade Rosario while sitting on Fulmer? What are the chances we're hard up for a SS in 2-3 years? Same question about a front of rotation pitcher.
WTH are you talking baout the Mets got draft comp for reyes
As far as 'failing your fan base' goes. I don't care when other teams fail their fans. Only when ours fails us. Which happens all too often. We're staring it right in the face again today if we can't get a bat to legitimize our playoff chances.
and they call up an OF from the minors. Wow. Would be funny if the deal has been agreed to and they've just been waiting to announce it all this time to punk us.
I'm wary of dealing with Sandy this close to the deadline. It's not at all clear that he's operating with the necessary authority to say "yes" to a deal.

If #Mets can get over the fact that Yoenis Cespedes had chicken pox as a child, he's going to New York. #Tigers

If your medical people advise you to nix the Gomez trade because they don't like what they see you respect that. You want to criticize their medical track record fine I understand. That's who he has to work with.
If the Reds think Bruce is worth more than the offer on the table that is their call not Sandy's.

Three-way trade could have #Tigers moving Yoenis Cespedes and Rajai Davis, possibly. Mets, White Sox appear to be involved.
If you check Twitter, this is what all the comments are like.
One rival executive believes that Cespedes is going to the #Mets
Lol. We are all a bit nutty right now.
(LOL)

The #Whitesox were aggressive, but fell short, and now out of #Tigers Cespedes sweepstakes
Source says Cespedes has been dealt to the Mets .

This guy is all over the board...
Jayson Stark just said on ESPN that Cespedes has been traded to the Mets.
If true that's exciting.
Playoff run here we come!
Re: Cespedes -- @JaysonT reports Mets get him
I will says this @MLBBruceLevine is an awesome baseball source--one of the best in biz-I'd trust him
Source: #Mets get Cespedes. Bruce Levine first.
