BREAKING NEWS: According to a Report by Dominican Sportscaster @TenchyRodEspn Robinson Cano has been notified and called to the USA by his agent, and is just awaiting a physical exam to make his trade to the @mets official.#ZDigital #ZDeportes@z101digital @ZDeportes
I think BVW is thinking a closer is going to cost him 80 million, whereas he got a closer and all star 2b for only 65 million guaranteed
Also, I think he is focused on making a big splash in year one given his unconventional background. And this trade definitely makes Mets better next season. Dont think BVW is concerned about mortgaging the future since he might not even be here
This is the type of thinking that keeps teams mediocre/bad...like the Mets.
And its a really stupid philosophy.

The wilpons don't have a philosophy, they just consistently make bad decisions while underinvesting in the team. Part of me thinks the best we will ever get with them is the random year with a lucky run so selling out the farm while they have JDG and Thor may not be the worst idea. They will never have the patience and discipline to allow a real GM to run the franchise the right way.
I don't like the value of the deal but if they're going to extend jdg they should be making win now moves. They are still 4+ moves away from calling themselves a contender in the division, but those moves are out there if they choose to spend.
I would invest the remaining payroll budget in 2 RP's (2 of Miller, Robertson, Familia) and a Grandal. Shorten the game, lengthen the lineup and tighten up the D.
I know with Lagares there is massive injury risk, but Pollock comes with his own injury history, and would cost a lot in terms of years and dollars.
I think they should look at adding one of the second tier guys on a 1-year deal for depth behind Nimmo, Conforto, Lagares..

If Diaz. I mean how do we invest that much in a dude with a ticking time bomb in his elbow like that. Wasnt that what putz had too? This would really be days of future past
Its not a new issue... its something hes had since he was drafted. Its just coming off like this is some new headline.... its not.
Whether its new or not. We shouldnt be taken on a bad contract and giving all your best prospects if the main piece has arm concerns. Come on dude, you know how risky stuff like this works out for this team.

They shouldve traded him away to seattle too.
short answer, yes.
No brainer IF Bryant's shoulder checked out.

No sourcing, just a vibe, but it does feel like @GMBVW is creating a path to @Bharper3407 ... and if he trades @Noahsyndergaard for zero $ guys and deals @You_Found_Nimmo for an Indians pitcher, it opens that path even wider. What do think?
Thor "for" Kluber ADDS payroll. Why would that in any way help you chase Harper? lol

Sometimes I wonder if he is actually thinking for himself or is ownership floating ideas through him to see how fans react.
If he could still produce then why was he taking Peds last year? Given the mets FA history, just how long before this guy gets hurt, an older player with Ped history? Face it, this has all the makings of another Met FA disaster!
Damn, this move allows them to shift Hoskins to 1B and opens up a spot for Harper. Not good
The Braves are very interested in Keuchel.

Pollock seems very unlikely to get the deal Cain got. Cain is a better player, was coming off a much better season (4.3war vs. 2.5war), and wasn't as injury prone. I think he will end up somewhere in the 4/65m range, or possibly a higher AAV 3 year deal around 3/55m with either one including some kind of vesting year option based on playing time that could bring it closer to what Cain got.

I agree, I wouldn't want to give Pollock 5 years. I would consider giving him 4 but even then I would be a bit hesitant.
