In this scenario, #Mets would not simply add Stroman from #BlueJays. They would acquire pieces from #Padres as well. #Astros also mounting push for Stroman due to their reluctance to meet NYM’s price for Syndergaard. Other teams also in mix for Jays’ ace.

One of many scenarios #Mets are exploring, per sources: Syndergaard to #Padres, then using some of return to land Stroman from #BlueJays. Not known which players would go from SD to NYM if deal occurred. RHP Cal Quantrill, a Canadian native, would be logical target for TOR.

That’s would be a remarkably dumb series of events.

Ooh, let’s get that guy, he’s from Canada!

Lmao. Jesus Christ the Mets are stupid.

Diekman to Oakland

Wish we could have gotten him.
Best case he could have been a great bridge to Newk in the 8th.Worst case he would have been a huge upgrade from Blevins.
I really hope we go after Puig If the price is cheap as I don’t think Neck will be the same after the injury if he comes back at all this season.

[Hudson2]

If the Mets do all of that and end up with 1 less year of control of a SP then they are the worse ran baseball team in the MLB hands down. That’s what they get for bringing in the least qualified person for GM.

Holy crap this would be an all time moron move by the Mets.

[Heyward]

Didnt even cost one of the A's top 30 guys for Diekman.

And the Mets flipping Thor to SD, then using those prospects to get Stroman would be well, interesting.

[Hudson2]

So AA needs to trade for Stroman then flip him for Thor..

[The Chosen One]

Stroman is the type of player that requires a Threesome-Way deal. Need enough players just to match his value.

Not sure you don't need more than a threesome to entice Stroman to join in.

Someone the other day had an interesting way of looking at the trade deadline. The object is to look at your postseason roster and who you are going to use to help identify your biggest needs.

Rotation:
Game 1: Soroka
Game 2: Keuchel
Game 3: Teheran

Bullpen:
Jackson : closer
Swarzak: set up
Gausman
Newk
Freid
Folty
Blevins
Tomlin
Sobotka
Minter

Lineup:
Acuña CF
Swanson SS
Freeman 1B
Donaldson 3B
Markakis RF (depending how he comes back)
Albies 2B
Riley LF
McCann/Flowers

Bench:
McCann//Flowers
Culberson
Joyce
Camargo

Honestly Teheran game 3 doesn’t do anything for me so I’d definitely need to upgrade there. Same thing with Jackson as closer. Rather get one of those and bump everyone down. Guys such as Tomlin, Blevins, Minter, etc become more expendable...

If someone thinks Teheran would be the game 3 SP as the roster currently stands, you can safely ignore anything they have to say about the Braves.

A's did well. We should have topped that. Maybe it's an indication that it isnt such a strong seller's market.

they’re so awful

I have zero idea why AA wouldn’t have topped this

Setting his sights higher perhaps.

Beating that package wouldn’t have been hard though, that’s for sure.

That’s my guess as well. I just don’t understand why you wouldn’t add him if it’s that low. Hell, it doesn’t hurt.

[msstate7]

Maybe he something better lined up

[Enscheff]

One thing to keep in mind when dealing with a dinosaur FO like KC is they may think one of those As guys is awesome and that was a superior package. These stupid teams are wildcards that allow themselves to be fleeced, so if you’re the right team at the right time...great. That’s how the Braves got Swanson.

[UNCBlue012]

The Dbacks are apparently selling. How about Peralta?
