Uribe and KJ to NYM

Sherman says Rob Whalen is the other name.

 

[Hawk]

Yeah, **** you Twitter 'journalist' Robert Murray for getting my hopes up for 1.5 minutes.

Rafael Montero is not going to Atlanta in the trade that gets the Mets two infielders in Juan Uribe and Kelly Johnson.

What's Whalen's injury?

Figures, two players who wont amount to much.

 

[Dalyn]

Seems like a ****ty trade.

 

[Dalyn]

Maybe we saved money.

 

[thethe]

Montero is a hell of a return. Wow.

 

[Chico]

Yup. Dissapointed.

 

[thethe]

Montero is a hell of a return. Wow.

Whelp...never mind.

Seems like a ****ty trade.

Something versus nothing in #2017.

But, yea: both guys seem pretty fringy.

That part of it is the corn.

I like the trade. Whalen the headliner. He seems solid based on 2 minutes of reading. This is about what the market bears for a couple of rental role players.

 

[mqt]

Maybe we saved money.

If we didn't save literally all of the money remaining, then I am not a fan.

I saw Whalen listed as the Mets 18th best prospect.

Conversely, Rob Whalen is rated as the #Mets No. 18 prospect this season. 45 overall, 55 fastball, 60 curve, 45 changeup, 50 control.

Hart has done well up to now. We basically traded 2 good players for 2 fringe players who will probably never see the Majors. Whalen might. Don't know.

Were you expecting to get Montero for a bench player and Uribe?

It doesnt seem like a great return here though.

This after re-signing Fredi is just more disappointing IMO.
