I'll trade you a bottle of ketchup for nothing in return.


Out of the goodness of my heart.

Deal. It's nice to win a trade for once.

Or they're trying to drive the Jays' price down in terms of who else they'd have to give up with Dickey.

I know that it was refuted, but if you look at the Mets' system it's stocked with righty pitching. I would give up Dickey/Flores or Dickey/one of the good young arms not named Harvey or Wheeler (Mazzoni/Tapia/Mateo) in a second for D'Arnaud. Only thing I worry about D'Arnaud is his BB/SO ratio.

I do NOT want Arencibia, unless Gose and another good prospect accompany him. Arencibia's defense is so... bleh.

Again, Sandy held out for Wheeler and I'm sure he's getting input from J.P. Riccardi. I trust Sandy to do the right thing.

I think it's harder to judge K/BB ratio at Vegas, since the hitting environment is so good hitters might be encouraging themselves to swing more.

Report out of Texas is that the Phillies signed Mike Adams to a 3 year/18 million dollar deal. Seems one year too long to me, but he will be a nice fit for the bullpen.

Cashman/Enron, any scouting? I mean, I've seen a little of him, but not exactly a ton.

That is a good move for them. Still pissed they didnt get Hamilton though. They should have outbid the Angels for sure.

 

[Fenix]

Everything I've seen of Adams is good.

 

[harSon]

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.

Why couldn't his older brother on the Pirates be worth a shit :|

Passan says teams are looking at medicals now. I want to go to sleep but I can't!

Fuck, me too.

Says it's bigger than just Dickey and D'Arnaud.

 

[Fenix]

Yeah, if D'Arnaud is involved, it's big-ish. Though looking at the Mets depth chart.... oi.

You guys have any Lefty-mashers on the roster?

Hairston killed it last year. Free agent though.

 

[clemenx]

LOL.

Enjoy Lucas Duda!

 

[cashman]

Adams was pretty good last year before his TOS troubles started. Pretty good deal for the phillies if he can still be as effective as he was in San Diego and Texas.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Adams' deal with the Phillies is a 2-year, $12 million deal with a vesting $6 million option for 2015.

 

[Heart Attack]

I loved Adams as a Padre. Great signing by the Phillies.

 

[bryehn]

Jays better win in the next year or two, that system is becoming pretty drained.

 

[rinse82]

Jays better win in the next year or two, that system is becoming pretty drained.

9 of the top 10 prospects in our system will be pitchers after D'Arnaud is traded.

No bats.

Mets are close to that. But Travis D'Arnaud should help dat.

 

[Fenix]

This is what farm systems are for. System will still be decent, and it's gonna get the 10th pick this year.

Edit: I woke up 2 hours ago and wondered why the deal wasn't done yet, then I priced it was 4:30. SIGH. Can we get this over with now?

 

[Link]

Looks like an agreement's been reached.

No details yet. I'm nervous to see who else the Mets had to give up and if they'll be getting any additional pieces back.

 

[CommonSense]

Attention Indians Fan(s)!!!!!!!!!

Fresh off signing respective league leaders Mark Reynolds and Drew Stubbs the Wahoos are said to be attempting to coax Rob Deer and Reggie Sanders out of retirment.

In other news the team plans to build a windmill in centerfield. "If our calculations are correct, our windmill should be able fo light up Euclid on a summer night" said Mark Shapiro.

sigh....

Same here bro. Plz no Davis or Niese.

 

[Link]

If either of them are included, I'm gonna flip my shit.

 

[clemenx]

We're probably giving Flores and Familia/Mejia if those 2 are not involved. Maybe someone like Den Dekker? If we're getting Gose.

Sucks that there's not any indication of the players involved. I'm probably just saying stupid shit.

 

[Fenix]

Davis is probably the most likely name, but I don't care much for him. He did have a good season hitting behind me in my rookie RTTS campaign though.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

I love Jenrry Mejia, feel a connection to him. Trade Familia lol

 

[Link]

I'd be ok with Dickey/Flores/Familia for d'Arnaud/Gose.

 

[darkside31337]

I wonder how the knuckleball will work in a dome.

Probably won't be enough starts to tell one way or the other.

 

[Maxim726X]

I like Niese... A lot, actually. But he isn't irreplaceable. Plug in Lannan if need be.

Niese isn't valuable enough to hold up this deal, if it includes both Gose and D'Arnaud.

 

[gaming_noob]

I want this to be an out of the park blockbuster again.

Like D'arnaud, Gose, JOSE BAUTISTA for Dickey, Wright, Niese....

 

[Fenix]

Why in the world of FUCK would you trade Bautista?

 

[gaming_noob]

Why in the world of FUCK would you trade Bautista?

Just for entertainment value...

 

[Fenix]

Just for entertainment value...

Oh, we'll that's why I want to see Arencibia traded. Just to see his twitter reactions after assuring fans he wasn't going anywhere.

It's not that he isn't replaceable, I just don't think it's wise to trade away 2/5 of your starting rotation, especially with Johan still being a question mark. Not to mention Niese's talent is easily well worth the contract we have him signed to.

 

[Link]

Double post, deal with it.

Looks like it's d'Arnaud and Gose.

Still waiting to see who the Mets are sending along with Dickey.

 

[newjeruse]

People are probably underrating Gose a little. He can stick in CF and he's been particularly young at every level.

 

[Fenix]

I'm not! I love Gose. Mets fans should really enjoy watching him play.

And yeah, was in the Majors last year at 21.

 

[Link]

Again, depending on who else the Mets are parting with, I'm loving this deal. I really like Dickey, and wanted the Mets to get an extension done, but d'Arnaud and Gose are great pieces that the Mets need.

 

[Kave_Man]

I'm okay with this.

 

[Brinbe]

I'm okay with this.

Yeah, if this goes through, we'll have an insane rotation. Romero would be our #5 FFS! Will definitely be down at the dome quite a lot.

But really depends on who else is coming back with Dickey. One of Niese/Davis would make me feel a lot better about losing two good, young players in TDA and Gose.

 

[Fenix]

I doubt Niese is coming back. Think more like Davis/Murphy maybe.

 

[Brinbe]

I'd be okay with that. They can enjoy Lind too.

 

[Link]

I'd rather lose Murphy than Davis.

 

[Fenix]

I wonder if Thole might be coming back, just as someone who can catch the Knuckler.

 

[Link]

I wonder if Thole might be coming back, just as someone who can catch the Knuckler.

I really doubt it. The whole point was for the Mets to get a righty catcher to complement Thole.

I'd rather lose Thole than Murphy.

Same, but see above.

 

[The Frankman]

You... you think D'Arnaud is going to complement someone? Fuck that, he's starting everyday. Mets can find someone else who hits lefty and catches and play him once a week.

I was a bit wary last night about giving up D'Arnaud but after sleeping on it if this has to be done so be it. AA stocked our cupboards the last few years to do things like this when the time was right.
