I wonder what we'd have to add to get Mejia. Are they also in the market for relievers? Would adding Reed hold any value? TDA?

Untouchable. Absolutely no way the Mets would be able to add Mejia sans moving DeGrom.

BP is #2 in baseball behind the Dodgers. Who knows? Maybe they would have interest in bolstering it further but Mejia will not be traded for anything the Mets have to offer. He'd be the best prospect traded at the deadline. 0.00% chance, not even worth thinking about.

context BP just ranked Mejia the #3 prospect in baseball

was hoping he was more in the range of Rutherford but I guess he's closer to Moncada.

Per source, Brewers among a half dozen teams to show interest in Mets� most valuable trade chip Addison Reed:

time to bench him more.

TJ's bat in the lineup

Mets win!

We're fuckin' back baby!

Wooooooooo

Time to be buyers

today. 4-3 vs COL and STL. Let's sweep OAK and make things hard on Sandy.

have some serious defensive problems.

sellers. First time in a while they'll likely miss the playoffs in back to back years.

Bruce and Cabrera for Chang and Allen. Do it.

Don't trade Tom Seaver again, Mets.

The Mets won't trade their most durable SP. If they want to have any chance of competing next season they will need Degrom.

before Amed. Unbelievable.

Tough blow here: Mets' No. 4 prospect Thomas Szapucki underwent Tommy John surgery in New York City. He was 1-2 with a 2.79 ERA at Columbia.

Flo, TJ, Cheech are all second baseman.

Good thing we traded Dilson Herrera, whos been alright for Cinci

I was waiting to hear more about the injury after he got pulled the other week. Figured that this was going to be the case, but it still sucks. Should be ready by 2020 though. Just in time for when some of the current crop leaves.

Herrera hasn't played in the majors for Cincy.

�If they have the chance to make their organization better by trading me, they would be crazy not to do it,� Bruce said. �I know that they have to look out for their future here. I expect they will do that if they have the chance. I know what can happen.�

But be also always been what felt like the lone Dom fan. So take any optimism I have regarding him with a grain of salt. Since he's near promotion, and Flexen is being Flexen, the next guy I annoy everyone around here with is Alonso And no, I haven't forgotten about a certain guy behind the dish. I'll always annoy everyone about him...

Shecky, Alonso is killing it. The kid has some power.

Crismatt is striking out everyone down in PSL

went 4-5. Disappointing season overall but still has flashed some nice tools and has been better as the season has gone on. Upside is an MLB regular.

-2016 pick bonus baby Matt Cleveland has yet to pitch so he like Planck is likely hurt as well.

very early but early returns on the 2016 draft = yikes
Link - ( New Window )

it would seemingly backup what Capone said about medical evaluations & willingness to take on risks. I have no idea how good/bad our trainers are, but 1 other factor that we shouldn't ignore is that athleticism has not appeared to be high on Sandy's priorities with players he's acquired, he's created a team identity around power, and that's a big reason why they've been a station to station, bad defense team for years. Rosario, Smith and Conforto create the perfect opportunity to transition into a different identity - hopefully management can learn from their mistakes.

James is one to follow going forward. I think losing DePo has hurt. The drafts haven't been as good and the player development hasn't been as strong.

Hoping Lindsay and Alonso can finish the season strong and make it to AA next year.
