NFT: Met trade

I don't understand how there are trades after the trade deadline.

.

or to a minor league affiliate.

Something MLB fans don't always think about: The organization has to throw a bone to its minor league affiliates now and then. The affiliates need to be competitive to keep attendance up, and that matters to everybody, including the big league club. The Mets have had a pretty strong system but they've raided it this season.

he is a closer who lost his job and actually wound up being sent down to the minors earlier this year

Trading away 2 minor leauge prospects for one player would not be much of a bone.

on this thread.

but we didn't get much either. His season's era of 4.20 is the same as his career era.

Diaz was about to be a minor league FA and Koch doesn't miss any bats. His upside is likely... Addison Reed. Solid gamble with very limited downside. That said, the minor league pitching depth IS very thin right now.


AAA
Herrera 0-4
Gee 6 innings 6 hits 3 er 10 k's
Alvarez 0.1 innings 1 hit 2 runs 1 bb
Reynolds 1-4 (OPS down to .714)
Nimmo 0-3, bb, k

AA
Rivera 2-5. BB
Gseellman 6 innings 7 hits 1 er 0 walks 2 k's (K-rate is very low, even for a groundball pitcher. hopefully next year he can miss a few more bats. Gee-ish upside)

BK
Garcia 1-3, K
Thompson 1-3, BB, K

Kingsport
Kacz 2-4
Winningham 1-4, k
Ramos 1-3, 2b (.389 last 10. Nice finish to this season after some off the field issues)
Carpio 1-4
Sanchez 1-3
McIlraith 7 innings 8 hits 1 run 0 walks 2 k's
Davis 2 innings 5 hits 0 runs 0 walks 2 k's


Today-
Gorski
MATZ!!
TBD
TBD
Oswalt
Flexen
TBD
Manoah

as expected has struggled in BK so far. 2-17 with 6 k's. Nothing to be worried about at this point, though the overall K rate is quite high.

still out with a hip issue

Matt Reynolds 88 wRC+, 9th on his own team among players with 150 or more PA, terrible season by any measure #Mets

can help the bullpen out in September. I understand he was a malcontent earlier, but IMO, what he said isn't bad enough to not call him up when rosters expand.

Agreed. He's a goner after the year anyway. Not to be cruel but why not use him and is innings?

NEW YORK -- The New York Mets announced that catcher Kevin Plawecki, infielder Eric Campbell and outfielders Eric Young Jr. and Kirk Nieuwenhuis will join the team on Tuesday from Triple-A Las Vegas when major league rosters expand.

Nice to see Morris dealing again. I think he's going to help next year. Hopefully, he'll start the year in AAA and get half a season or so to work with Viola and then get called up to the show mid-season.

looked shellshocked at the MLB level. Not blaming the Mets at all but I don't think they had a great read on how "unready" he was mentally for the big show.
