Reds willing to trade Jay Bruce to the Mets for Zack Wheeler now. Worth watching over the next 20 hours.

Not Wheeler then...  
ZGiants98 : 7/31/2015 3:56 pm : link
so we can stop with that. Praying its Rosario and Smoker. That would be sweet! Keep all the first round picks, Herrera, and Fulmer.

outside of Conforto I can justify. Its going to cost one big prospect. It just is. We have to give to get.

Gsellman/Smoker would be laughable. The coup of the century.

Could care less about Cessa.
Ill feel a lot better...

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.

I don't think we even have a Fueller.. it's Fulmer.

The #Mets= worlds most annoying shopper-bought a CF,kept receipt,took him back,thought about Bruce,too expensive,got Cespedes on sale rack
thx sshin wasn't sure about Smoker  
Torrag : 7/31/2015 4:01 pm : link
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.
Hurts.  
Ten Ton Hammer : 7/31/2015 4:01 pm : link

But at least we have Harvey, Thor, and JDG.
If we

sign Cespedes, I'm fine with losing Fulmer. If not, well... lets make the fucking playoffs.
no room for fulmer at the inn

wheeler on the mend, montero on the mend, niese still around.
Oh well.  
ZGiants98 : 7/31/2015 4:02 pm : link
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.
Had to give up something at some point  
gmen9892 : 7/31/2015 4:02 pm : link
Sad to see Fulmer go, but Im not going to cry over getting a new middle of the order power bat. Would be nice if we could sign the guy.

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.

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.
I've seen Wheeler pitch  
Headhunter : 7/31/2015 4:04 pm : link
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

Montero still has sore shoulder. But Matz is on the mend as well
If we cut bait with many of our free agents  
Torrag : 7/31/2015 4:05 pm : link
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..

Chris684 : 7/31/2015 4:07 pm : link
The Mets stepped up. Good for them.

I think this is an excellent trade, let's hope they do what's necessary when it's time to retain him.

numbers this season are sick. So tigers got a pretty good player.

Fulmer stings  
ZGiants98 : 7/31/2015 4:11 pm : link
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.

Chris684 : 7/31/2015 4:18 pm : link
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.
