Meanwhile, #Mets didn’t think Tulo was available, then backed off on Gomez. Also hearing possibility of Bruce, as mentioned by @Buster_ESPN.

Oh

 

[Bunta]

hmm. Did the Astros overpaid for Gomez in the trade?

I'd say so, just with the inclusion of Brett Phillips. Guy is a 5 tool player that seemed to be on a projection to contribute as soon as next season.

 

[Edwardo]

Nice Houston.

 

[The Elite]

I don't follow baseball much - How big is this David Price pickup? Did TO have to sell the farm?

The price wasn't that bad but he's a rental. We will probably have him for 13 starts.

 

[jbug617]

Oh

There is a deal to be made if the Mets want to.

@Buster_ESPN: Reds willing to trade Jay Bruce to the Mets for Zack Wheeler now. Worth watching over the next 20 hours.

 

[Malvingt2]

Oh

Mets man... I dunno what to say.

I'd rather have Cargo.

Wonder how they will fuck this one up.

I'd make an asshole joke about you and the Mannings but I don't want to bring the NFL thread's fuckery into this thread.

DP's a big, big addition no doubt. I just worry about giving up prospects and getting him for only a few starts when you're not even in a position where you're guaranteed the playoffs let alone making a deep run.

Can the Mets get him? Money, Prospects?

 

[The Elite]

There seems to be a trade an hour.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Can the Mets get him? Money, Prospects?

Prospects yes. Money not so much

 

[bonesmccoy]

Rosenthal says the Mets didn't think Tulowitzki was available.

:/

 

[Corran Horn]

This is entertaining. Gonna be so many disappointed teams come this postseason.

 

[MechDX]

This trade finally make the Astros legit?

Why wait for the postseason to be disappointed!!!

 

[chicagocubsfan]

M's and Cubs talking trade.

Kuma probably.

 

[eznark]

Much better haul. Thank you Mets!!!

 

[rando14]

M's and Cubs talking trade.

[Malo]

You'll be able to lifelong this thread a lot more, so yes, they're legit.

MLB trade deadline is the best.

 

[eznark]

Have I said thank you to the Mets yet?

 

[Syrinx]

Watch the Mets do something completely stupid tomorrow to try to save face after this whole fuckfest.

 

[Malvingt2]

For some reason, I am expecting another crazy trade involving the Braves..... :/

they are shopping Tehran.

 

[RBH]

If Hart really wants to twist the knife, he'll go ahead and trade Maybin.

 

[sf2fanatic]

So who's the closer for the Braves?


My condolences MetsGaf

 

[Malvingt2]

Watch Gomez put some crazy numbers with the Astros...

 

[Dominican Power]

Tex Message!

 

[eznark]

Watch Gomez put some crazy numbers with the Astros...

He'll be fun to watch in their CF

 

[detectiveconan1]

I love how the Marlins front office patronizes fans while defending themselves, "Oh if they were educated they would know".,well let's see Mike. Our farm was absolutely depleted due to the dumb trades you made this summer, "Hey let's trade our best prospect (Andrew Heaney) for Dee Gordon! Even if the Dodgers only asked for Nicolino (4th best)". You know what's a great idea? Trading Desclafani for Latos only for them to perform identical to each other except one of them is younger and under control longer, while the other is older and will leave in a year because he hates your organization.So now what was our strength, which was young pitching, is now a weakness. Because we gave up 2 of our starters for a rentals and Dee Gordon, who will absolutely jump ship or get traded soon. We traded our 1st round pick of 2 years ago, Colin Moran, for Jarred Cosart. The Marlins then DFA'd Jacob Turner, who is basically Jarred Cosart, because they are pretty much the same person. Our hitting sucks, because we can't create any kind of runs without Stanton and none of our position players get on base or hit. We have no 3B, a SS the organization loves who is freaking mediocre by any metric that isn't the eye test, no 1B and you're holding our CF ransom so he doesn't get Super 2 status.

Finally, you dump Latos and Morse along with out 35th pick, because it saves you money. Our whole team is basically being paid for by the Dodgers. Then, the excuse will be "No fans come to the stadium, we can't be competitive". NO ONE IS GOING TO WATCH YOUR MEDIOCRE TEAM GET BLOWN UP AGAIN.

I went to Game 5 against the Giants in '03, I saw Pudge tag out JT Snow at home while 65k people blew up in cheers. I went to Game 5 of the World Series where another 64k saw the Marlins inch closer to the championship. People will go to your games if you field a competitive team, but you need to spend money, and seeing as how that's not an option for this ownership, it will never happen.

My rant is over now, my team is worse than yours and I know it.

How can you give up on Nicolino after two starts? He is probably going to be called up to replace Latos, so lets see what he can do the rest of the season. Remember, Heaney didn't exactly light the world on fire when he pitched a handful of starts for us last season. As for Cosart, I think he can be a solid 3 or 4 guy in the rotation. He has just had a lot of bad luck with his vertigo injury this season. He was very good for us the last few weeks of the season last year.

As for hitting, it's not that they don't have talent, they just don't have plate discipline, and they don't take a lot of pitches (outside of Yelich). Being overly aggressive has produced a lot of easy ground ball outs/double plays. I am really frustrated that Frank Menechin has not been fired, because he is not getting the job done.

 

[RBH]

So who's the closer for the Braves?

Arodys Vizacaino

 

[Malvingt2]

So who The Mets must get to fix this mess?

Give me one name.

 

[Malo]

So who The Mets must get to fix this mess?

Give me one name.

They want a center fielder, but Idk who else is out there.

 

[Frozenprince]

Holy fuck the Mets got butt fucked by that Gomez trade lol.

The difference between shitty and not shitty ownership.

They want a center fielder, but Idk who else is out there.

Jay Bruce.

If they'll take our scraps for him like the Brewers were gonna for Gomez it might be worth it. Not nearly the level of player CarGo is.

 

[Syrinx]

So who The Mets must get to fix this mess?

Give me one name.

Name a rich guy in NYC not named Donald Trump or James Dolan.

That could be a start.

 

[eznark]

Gonna be extra funny when they try to save face by paying more money to Jay Bruce

 

[Frozenprince]

Real fucking funny.

Ha ha fucking ha.

Dolan's brother/cousin (can't remember which) owns the Indians and we've seen how bad he fucked them up.

 

[BFIB]

One player slipping under the radar is Bruce.

Edit: Ez is on it, lol.

 

[eznark]

Real fucking funny.

Ha ha fucking ha.

 

[GK86]

If they get a corner OFer, they will move Granderson to CF.

 

[JABEE]

Great deal for the Brewers

 

[The Elite]

Goins getting wacked in the bullocks.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Please take Puig.

 

[Brinbe]

This offense make me happy in the pants

So sick

 

[Frozenprince]

Seriously fuck the Wilpons.

I legitimately feel sick to my stomach right now.
