Per @JonHeyman the Mets are in talks with the San Diego Padres in regard to SP Dylan Cease.
Brandon Sproat, Jett Williams, and Luisangel Acuna were all listed as potential package names.
What would be the equivalent for us?
That’s more than they paid when Cease had more controllable years? If so, lol they’re not negotiating in good faith and have no interest in making a deal. It would be hilarious if they hold him, miss the playoffs, and let him walk for free.
Riley in left would probably be better than Bregman at ss or Baldwin at left…right? Not saying those are the only options but signing Bregman for 3rd and moving Riley to left isn’t a wild possibility.
What’s likely to happen is AA will sign whichever SP is left over and willing to take a 1 year deal. As for the outfield bat, likely the same. We’re not spending significantly on anyone. AA just won’t invest years and money into any major free agents.
Probably. Although he just posted on Twitter a screenshot of the conversation where Verlander and Scott were confirmed. But I’m sure that could be faked.
It was announced this morning that the Padres have been eliminated. lol so it’s down to LA and Toronto. So what’s the hold up. Just announce where you’re playing so we can get on with this offseason of doing nothing.
Has MH2 turned into Heyward? Every ab I feel like he’s beating the ball into the ground toward 2nd. I say that tongue in cheek, but I swear that’s all I’m seeing when he’s at bat.
