    How did we include two dicks in this trade and still end up the ones getting ****ed?

    If Olivera was 3 years younger it would make sense. But he's on the world side of 30 and has a bum elbow. He's every bit as big an injury risk as Wood with the added bonus of not having proven he's major league ready and being a risk for age related collapse like Uggla.

    We traded equal risks at best except ours is proven to be a major leaguer.

    So we drafted him in the 2nd round so that we could trade him and a top prospect for $30 million?

    If they wanted him so bad they could have upped their offer in the offseason and kept Wood and Peraza.

    Man. Just saw the video of Wilmer Flores on the field in tears while the they are getting stomped in the 8th. The Mets dropped the ball on this one.

    Off the top of my head: Jenkins, Fried, Banuelos.
    If they've already had it, then they may have it again. So trade them now for whatever you can get.

    Maybe we can trade Olivera to the Dodgers for Seager or Puig

    Wood is nowhere close to injury risk that Oliveira is. Oliveira career is a big injury and that was pre-30

    Why even think about trading for Wheeler since he's coming off TJ?

    They can spin this how they will, but don't piss down back and try to tell me it's raining.

    I'm not arguing that. Just feel this is not good value at all. Trade wood for olivera and that's it. Not all the other pieces.

    Maybe we are still getting Puig but Los Angeles has instituted a gag order until the deal is done for fear of pissing him off.

    Trying my damndest here
