    Only tangible benefit to trading for Wheeler, re extent, is that he’ll lose the QO—but that’ll happen anyways as long as he’s traded somewhere.

    Also not sure the Braves should be handing multiyear contracts to 29-year-old FA pitchers with somewhat substantial injury histories. But he’s a great rental option if the price isn’t exorbitant.

    I imagine going from a dysfunctional perennial loser organization to the Braves who at this point are perennial WS contenders could influence him.


    I dont want to give up anything more for Wheeler because he might sign with us. It's just a bonus that would come from trading for him.

    There is a 5 year window after TJ surgery where pitchers are generally healthier. Health is always going to be a gamble. At this point when I see a pitcher who has a great health record I just see someone due for a major injury. Mike Hampton used to be Mr. Durability.

    I considered leaving out the “injury history” clause. I should probably just say: Also not sure the Braves should be handing multiyear contracts to 29-year-old FA pitchers, full-stop.

    I would love to have ZW, however, I am afraid the trade bill would have Pache and/or Anderson at the top of it. I would rather hold both and two years from now win a championship.

    There is no way I would think about this. We’re talking about 2 months of a number 3 starter.

    Fair enough. I think he is going to breakout when he gets to a competent organization. Everyone on that Mets staff this year has inflated HR rates even DeGrom.

    The Mets aren’t getting anything close to Pache for 2 months of Wheeler. That is complete lunacy for a guy worth something like $15M in surplus value.

    Pache is the centerpiece of a package gets Thor and his 2.5 years of control.

    Not a great comparison because McCann played for the team for a decade. Wheeler has never played pro ball for a Georgia team.

    His FB velocity has actually gone up the last two years. I'm not concerned about his age unless of course the deal is more than 5 years.

    Wheeler probably costs one of our prospects not named Pache/Waters/Anderson. You could make the argument that more should be on that list but maybe something like TD/Allard would get it done.

    Mets begin shopping Wheeler. Says at the end Atlanta was the most aggressive team trying to trade for him last July.

    Scherzer 34
    Lynn 32
    Morton 35
    Cole 28
    DeGrom 31
    Strasburg 30
    Giolito 24
    Greinke 35
    Ryu 32
    Woodruff 26

    Those are your 2019 midseason fWAR leaders.

    Here is 2018:

    DeGrom 30
    Scherzer 33
    Verlander 35
    Cole 27
    Corbin 28
    Bauer 27
    Severino 24
    Kluber 32
    Nola 25
    Carrasco 31


    Wheeler was 13th in 2018 and is sitting at 18th in 2019 with some bad fortune and essentially the same peripherals.


    I think a four year deal on Wheeler or Cole at the correct price point would probably be ok, but perhaps it is very unlikely it would come in reasonably priced.

    Agreed. I honestly don’t like a Thor trade also, because he has had so many health issues.

    Wheeler projects to generate about 2 WAR in the second half. With the contender's premium that will be valued at about 3 WAR. Remaining salary is 3M. Depending upon what the Mets pick up his surplus value is in the 2.5-3.0 WAR range.

    I would offer the Mets a choice of any 2 of Allard, Davidson, de la Cruz and Wentz. I suspect though the market will be strong enough to push up the price beyond that. Final offer from me would be Muller or Weigel plus a secondary piece such as Kingman (with the Mets picking up the rest of Wheelers salary). That would be painful, but I think we should be aggressive in bidding for Wheeler. That's the best prospect pie I would let them buy and would have to include the salary pickup.

    Thor is better than Wheeler and Stroman. And has more years of control. Sure there is risk. But I would bid aggressively on Thor if the Mets indicated he was available.

    For Thor, I would offer the Mets any two of Wright, Fried, Muller and Weigel. Again, I suspect the market would be strong and we would have to improve on that initial offer.
