Trade Deadline/Rumors thread

[Hawk]

Apparently the Astros and Padres are discussing a 'big' trade too.

@Dave_Gershman: SOURCE: #Mets close to acquiring OF Yoenis Cespedes from Tigers

Maybe? Don't know how much we can trust the guy.

 

[Heyward]

Hopefully. Wheeler for Maybin

Hopefully not, no more TJ pitchers please

 

[Heyward]

That's what I was thinking. Wheeler for puig? Mets get potential superstar outfielder and dodgers get a potential stud pitcher

It would take alot more than Wheeler to get Puig.

Rosenthal said LA would have to be blown away to deal him.

He seems more credible than Mibelt.

Talks "very fluid." #Mets pushing Jon Niese and other prospects, players not named Wheeler, says source.

Going to take back what I said earlier: The talks with Milwaukee have included Gomez's name. The Mets want him.

@MaxWildstein: #Padres have removed Justin Upton from tonight's game, as #Mets are close to acquiring a big bat. #HugWatch?

 

[Hawk]

Must be nice to be a Mets fan right now, probably getting one of Gomez/Upton/Cespedes

 

[Heyward]

Gomez would cost alot, team-friendly deal.

Be interested to see what SD got if thats the deal.

Would Upton make any sense in Houston?

I don't know. He'd be a contact hitter in that line-up.

#Mets have talked to #Brewers about Carlos Gomez, sources tell me and @jonmorosi. No deal appears close. NYM also looking at other hitters.

Was told in last few days #Brewers would only move Gomez if top young SP came back. Wheeler? Would #Mets part with him?

So, if teams are inquiring about Frasor, we should absolutely give him up for literally any minor league player with a pulse, right?

Or one who has until recently had a pulse.

As long as the minor leaguer with a pulse has had a minimum of 1 TJs in the past 5 years

Source: One combination that #Mets and #Brewers have discussed: Wheeler and Flores for Gomez. Again, no indication whether deal is close.
