    Man, I really wish we had the payroll to take on some of the Met's bad money in a Thor trade. That could really help limit the prospect cost. Unfortunately if we are going to get a deal done its gonna have to be through prospects.

    I’m done wanting dead money on the books. AA is smarter than that imo.

    I wonder why more contracts aren't front loaded? Pay more when they are in prime, then less as they regress.

    No sign of Pache. Jenista is a big dude.

    Edit: Pache just came jogging up.

    The idea is as they fade, you have had a few years to develop and call up the next prospects around them who will be making minimum. It's always a short term thing. By the time the next guys are in their arby years your backloaded contract is almost finnish or you trade them off and eat money.

    By the time Acuna starts making double digits we'll almost be done with Freddie's contract. So gives time for Braves to restructure a cheaper extension with Freddie if they want.

    I think some GMs also don’t plan for the future. They look at it as a kicking the can down the road situation. Since the average GM doesn’t last in their job for a very long time, they may almost look at it as it’ll be someone else’s problem when that big money comes due.

    Tidbits from an article on MLB.com from a Mets writer about Thor stuff.

    The Braves also match up well given their plethora of starting pitchers on the cusp of the Majors -- most notably Kyle Wright, Kolby Allard and Ian Anderson. Wright or Allard could plug into the Mets’ rotation as soon as this season, giving them a ready-made replacement for Syndergaard. That’s attractive to a team still looking to compete in 2020.

    For now, consider the Astros and Yankees longer shots. A source described the Astros as pessimistic about their chances to land Syndergaard, while many in the industry will believe a trade between the Mets and Yankees when they see it. Those two teams have not completed a swap of big league players since Felix Heredia and Mike Stanton changed uniforms in 2004.

    A source said on Friday that it’s “50-50” the Mets trade Syndergaard before the Deadline, noting they would need to acquire at least one significant piece close to the Majors -- likely a pitcher -- in their return package. The Padres, Braves, Astros and Yankees are among the clubs in pursuit, according to other sources.

    General manager Brodie Van Wagenen, who has not spoken publicly in two weeks, did not respond to messages seeking comment about the Mets’ plans. Multiple sources said that any deal is unlikely to happen until close to the Deadline, as a small group of sellers waits out a larger group of buyers.

    Please please please let the Mets be dumb enough to take Allard as a primary piece for Thor.

    Wright and Allard for Thor.

    How can Brodie pass that up. You have 40 year old Glavine in mid 20 year olds body in Allard and if Wright grows his hair back he looks like Thor 2.0 with long hair.

    Allard, Wright, and a couple minor pieces feels too good to be true.

    I'd be willing to sweeten the deal by throwing in Camargo and Demeritte.

    Sounds like we match up perfectly. I'm not super pumped about potentially trading Anderson though. I'm curious to see what's going on with him. His numbers have been outstanding lately.

    The more I watch IA's clips from this season, the more h looks like a taller Soroka but nowhere near the spin movement on his pitches. Cheff said his spin rates weren't all that great.

    I'd be willing to sell high.
