NFT: Mets Talk: Would you trade Syndergaard?

pjcas18 : 11/16/2018 8:30 am

I began thinking about it after this tweet, not sure what precipitated it, but I think I would.

Noah is clearly a top of the rotation starter with tremendous stuff and he's the kind of player you normally build around, not trade away, so I wouldn't shop him per se.

But I believe in the philosophy no one is untouchable. No one. So, while I would trade him I'd need to be blown away.

That said, I kind of feel like Syndergaard has "plateaued" and maybe that's just my bias because after his rookie year I had such high hopes, and I feel like he's still a TOR pitcher and maybe top 20 or whatever # you want to apply to him starter in baseball, I don't think he's improved the way I thought he would.

This probably goes nowhere, but if there is a team who'd match up with what it would take to deal Syndergaard, the Padres are one of those teams.

Is Mackenzie Gore and Mejia for Syndergaard (and throw in Jay Bruce) interesting and fair?

The Padres remain interested in acquiring Noah Syndergaard according to @Ken_Rosenthal.

The Padres have arguably the best farm system in baseball.

Iglesias is 29 next season and posted a 4.23 FIP? He's also "cheapish" but not insanely so with 2 years 11.4 million remaining

Iglesias had a higher FIP than FA relievers Familia, Kimbrel, Ottavino, Robertson, Britton, Soria, Miller but yeah, #2 piece of a Syndergaard deal. Seems like a winner! #Mets

Would be horrendous

trading anything significant for a RP makes no sense this year

Eric on Li : 11/20/2018 10:15 am : link

best FA reliever class in a very long time. Kimbrel, Familia, Miller, Britton alone represent 4 of the 10 best relievers in recent years.

trading Thor makes almost no sense unless you are getting back a potential MVP candidate.

Get creative and make trades for players like Paxton except at positions of need like CF, C, 3B. Fill in with free agents in the BP and whatever position can't be acquired via trade. Just add some good players, not tier 2/3 FA like Bruce/Swarzak/Vargas/Cabrera/Walker.

Luis Urias is a nice prospect.. but the guy has 9 career homers outside of the PCL and doesn't steal bases. It's no sure thing he's a better long-term prospect than Gimenez that isn't far behind him. Yuck

"When you talk about Mark's power, it's not about his potential. He's got it already," Levin explained. "His exit velocity was one of the highest in the Minor Leagues, and it was noticeable when you watched him play. He's not a big swing-and-miss guy, which is impressive at this age. On the defensive side, Mark has soft hands and a strong arm. We were very pleased with what we saw defensively."

Gimenez

Quote:

"Andres has been one of the best players in whatever league he's played in, regardless of age," Levin said. "He's got a feel for the game and maturity that is off the charts, and his skills on the field are obvious. He can run, play defense, hit ... and his strike zone judgement continues to improve. We've also seen him start to tap into more power, which furthers our projection for him as a strong, all-around player."

Kelenic

Quote:

"One of the most positive aspects of Jarred's season was that his last two weeks of the season [with Kingsport] were better than his first," Levin said. "That's important. He struggled for a period after moving up to Kingsport, but he was still making solid contact and putting the ball in play. He controls the strike zone extremely well already, and he's got the ability to be a true power and speed guy. We look at Jarred as a potential five-tool player."

Adolph

Quote:

"Ross was a very nice surprise for us, and we were happy to get him [in the Draft] where we did," Levin said. "Injuries cost him a bit in college, but he was healthy for us and it showed in his debut. He's got solid offensive tools with gap power and speed. We were very impressed with what he did."

Dunn

Quote:

"The time spent in St. Lucie [in 2017] served him well this year," Levin said. "He went out and worked on what he needed, and the results speak for themselves, which is a credit to him. The stuff has always been there, but it was a lot crisper [in 2018], which shows how hard he focused in the offseason on making himself a better pitcher."

Peterson

Quote:

"Another guy who finished strong, which was great to see," Levin said. "He went through a little dip [after his promotion to St. Lucie], which was expected, but he rebounded nicely and finished with overall numbers he should be proud of. David showed what we saw from him in college -- a pitcher who can locate, has four quality pitchers and the ability to move the ball around the zone. He had a strong year."

On a down note... Zach Borenstein was one of the picks for organizational all-stars, in the OF... Kelenic, Adolph and a 28 year old in his 8th minor league season lol Yeah.. the OF depth in the organization is OOOGLY
