Isn't D'Arnaud basically like Buster Posey 2.0? BlueJays would be stupid to trade him for 2 years of a 38 year old knuckleballer, especially one that will be going from the NL to the AL East.

I can see the logic of going for it while the two AL East behemoths are in a weakened state. If the Blue Jays keep holding on to their prospects, NY and BOS could very well right their metaphorical ships by the time those prospects come up. I'm not a fan of throwing all the chips down for the chance of short term success but they may never get another opportunity where the Yankees and Red Sox are both on the downswing.
gonna lol when the Rays or O's win the division
What? This is a fucking steal. Not only is he one of the best prospects in baseball, he is a 23 year old catcher who can come in and play right now (2,000 minor league PA's) AND he was a Phillies draft pick!

Multiple sources saying it's D'Arnaud. However Jays are trying to get Niese in the deal. If it's only Dickey fantastic deal for the Mets.
Can't you let LJ11 be pessimistic for once?

Seriously. Jack Z needs to fucking start shopping King Felix hard already considering the kinds of prospects being thrown around for guys like Shields and Dickey.

Are the Mets only expected to get back d'Arnaud, or will they get another prospect back as well?
A better question is "is Dickey all they are giving up"
Where did you read about Niese? If anything, I'd think they're trying to iron out an extension before making a deal.

The Autumn Wind
Right, but that's already being brought up. I'd rather the Mets not give up Niese. With Dickey gone too, starting pitching would be way too thin, especially with Johan still being a question mark.
He seriously does.
Trade King Felix to the NL or some shit. That way I don't have to cry so much.

Blue Jays are asking for Niese over Dickey, not Niese + Dickey. Mets said no.
A 38-year old knuckleballer coming off a career year and needing an extension shouldn't get you one of the best prospects in baseball?
Just give up. LJ was right.

lists NY Daily News as a source, I should correct myself in that a Niese/D'Arnaud deal never materialized.Matt Cerrone said:

It's just sad to see the Mets run their organization with the same level of frugality as the Rays. Just sell the fucking team already.
There is no one on the Mets that I wouldn't trade for D'Arnaud. I don't think there is even any 2 players.

Matt Harvey or Zack Wheeler.

My gut feeling is that it's Dickey and a B prospect (Familia/Flores/Fullmer). No way Mets give up Harvey or Wheeler. And really, too many people who are not NY guys are saying D'Arnaud is going. Just a matter of who.

So you give up the young bulldog lefty with 16-18 win potential for a 38-year old righty knuckleballer with maybe 5 years left in him?
Am I in Bizarro World?

I say that with the thought that the Jays wouldn't give up d'Arnaud for Dickey. Obviously I'd give up Dickey before Niese.
Wright to play SS.
No, obviously I'd push Dickey but I think D'Arnaud is worth Niese, easily.

Im with u Frank. Niese should improve. Give them Dickey n one of our many young pitchers down below.

I would think the Mets deal Flores, he's blocked at 3rd and 1st. Second base... yeah, not happening.
Dickey/Flores for D'Arnaud. Make it happen, Sandy. You worked a miracle getting Wheeler!
Niese is pretty damn good and quite younger. Also more years of control so his value should be higher.

I think they're trying to drive up the price. That to me means no D'Arnaud, right?

If anything the Mets should trade a younger pitcher. Mets are stocked with RHP down for in the system. Flores can go too. Gose and D'Arnaud would be nice for this team. BA ranked top 10 prospects. Only 3 position players made it.
I think they're trying to drive up the price. That to me means no D'Arnaud, right?
They are going for Trout.
That's a report from much earlier. All indications are that they're only talking to the Jays right now.

Dayton Moore can't trade with everyone.

Or they're trying to drive the Jays' price down in terms of who else they'd have to give up with Dickey.
I'll trade you a bottle of ketchup for nothing in return.
Out of the goodness of my heart.
