Twitter rumor from a NY writer- Can report this more definitively: As of now, the not-yet- official Mets Mariners trade on the table is Cano/Diaz for Bruce/Swarzak/Kelenic/McNeil/Dunn

Mets are certainly selling high on McNeil. At age 27, that's probably pretty smart. He could be a 4-5 WAR beast for the next 3 year's or so, or be could turn back into a pumpkin. Late bloomers are hard to value as well since you'll get less years of their prime.
That trade makes no sense for the Mets.
Deal looks like.
M's get: Swarzak, Bruce, 2-3 of Dunn/Kelenic/McNeil.
Mets get: Cano/Diaz. Cano deal is 5/86 to the Mets.
According to Passan.
It'll save the Mets some money this year, but I will say, it seems like the Mets would be better off giving Kimbrell 5/84 than doing this deal.
The question now, is Haniger available? Because if he is, AA better get on the phone with them right away. Fits like a glove in the other outfield spot.
cano is still a good player. if the mets can get the pitching healthy, i don’t think they’ll be a team you can roll over.

Although, can someone explain picking up Diaz and Cano at the expense of prospects, then trading Snydegard for _________, and then spending money in FA to sign a pitcher to replace Syndegard?
Also why does Syndegard's former agent want to trade him? Who wants to the be the team that finds out? (Maybe I do).

Looks like McNeil is off the table.
