He’s like saying a certain unnamed head coach of the giants around here :(

I get the K word, which coach?

hopefully he comes back 100% and enters it very quickly, but until then who knows.

Also re: Kilome, he still throws mid-90's and only so many guys can do that - especially in this system right now. He clearly was way over his head in big league action but that was to be expected given the circumstances. He's the same lotto ticket he was when they got him, just with a TJS and 2 more lost seasons under his belt. 1 of those lost seasons was obviously nobody's fault.

Eddy didn't think Ginn's upside was as high as say Allan, said he's a 3-4 profile if everything works out. Said he was a good get by the Mets but might even be a RP.

Per @Joelsherman1 reports of @Mets and Odorizzi are overstated and Odorizzi is "believed to be much more engaged with other teams right now.”

He also thinks it's possible the Mets aim to add 1 big addition vs. 2

Ray Handley I assume

open to dealing Wheeler for a "big" prospect return as they are facing financial problems.

Philly can fuck off. Wheeler is a good pitcher but there’s not a lot surplus value on that contract, especially in a pandemic environment. Id be happy to have Wheeler back (Philly wouldn’t trade him in the decision, so purely a hypo) but I wouldn’t give them one of our top 9 prospects.

they can take Kilome and his probably busted elbow when they traded him to us.

this if you gave me a couple hints.

Especially after their own said they're going to spend "stupid money".

Danny Vietti @DannyVietti · 20m The Phillies have the longest playoff drought in the NL. Haven’t had a winning season since 2011. They’re now in a “financial crunch” and open to trading Zack Wheeler. Locked into a contract with Bryce Harper for another decade. They still don’t have a GM. WHAT. A. MESS.

Released a statement calling this total BS

So I don’t believe that statement for a second

Mets take on a bunch of salary but swap the old regimes baggage for a somewhat proven commodity. Phillies were supposedly hot for Diaz a couple years ago, they get him and ditch some salary.

Mets can go out and sign Hand, Odorizzi, etc.

I'd love wheeler back

has been posted, his window is open until 1/1, Sugano has yet to officially be posted

-Liriano is pitching in 2021 and might be a decent BP/rotation depth option.
