lol Pads. They gave up Turner for Wil Myers and now want him back for Kimbrel. Rizzo has typically been unwilling to deal his top 2-3 prospects so I don't see him doing it in a mid season deal for a closer. I think they go after Clippard.

Speaking of Kimbrel, I've seen so many negative things about him for some reason. ESPN posted a stat that he's converted 55 of 56 saves?

negative things about CK where? Probably the best in the game for the passed 4 years, and it isn't that close. That said, we have probably seen his best already.

I think it was chipcounty or chopcity or some site like that.
 
Kimbrel was getting some heat earlier in the year when he was giving up a lot of hard hit balls and striking out fewer folks.

He's turned it around (obviously)... but it's probably safe to say this is his least dominant season of his career
 
Rosenthal up with an article on the trade market for Carlos Gomez. I bring this up because teams interested in Gomez may also have interest in Maybin. Both are RHH CFs and have similar contracts (though Gomez doesn't have a 2017 option). According to Rosenthal, the teams interested in Gomez are: Rangers, Giants, Astros, and (non-contender) Indians. It'll be interesting to see if Maybin plays for one of those teams by end of week.

I think our return for Jim Johnson won't be all we hoped considering there are numerous elite closers being shopped. Kimbrel, Clippard, Paps, Chapman, etc... not to mention the next tier either. He is likely viewed as a set up guy by other teams.

I think it was probably a bit much to think we'd get anything of real value for Jim Johnson in the first place.

Sources: Mets asked re:Andrelton Simmons, but the conversation went nowhere with ATL, which basically placed an unreachable price tag on him

Interesting.

I'd do it for Zach Wheeler, Nimmo + another high ranking prospect or two.

Wow. Sandy Alderson doesn't seem real smart. He's probably on the phone with Rizzo right now asking about Bryce Harper.

Mets badly need a shortstop.

I saw where the Mets deem Wheeler movable.

Hmmm....... Shortstop, shortstop, shortstop ...where could I find a shortstop if someone needed one...I see a nice prospect at 2B\CF, but not SS. Must not be what we are looking for...moving on.
 
Rosenthal: Padres are trying to trade Jedd Gyorko. He's another guy I'd try to plug in at 3B. Would require the Braves take on some money, but CJ would offset nearly half of that.

Why wouldn't they? Prado can play a few positions and how many bench hitters can be a 2-3 win type player?

Prado is hitting about how he normally hits outside of his HR/FB ratio, which could be related to the park he's playing in. How many good teams have a .280/.325/.415 with good defense player on the bench?
Click to expand...

Except Prado isn't that player. .273 .312 .369 while looking slow on the bases, unhealthy (again), and costing a fortune (for a utility player).

I would trade Simmons...

He's awesome, but we have (seemingly) capable replacements and Simmons would bring us the best return.

Emphasis on seemingly. Simmons is on pace for a 3.5 WAR season this year and already has a 4.5 WAR season under his belt. I am as high on Peraza, Albies and Castro as anyone around here. But lets not pretend any of them has a high probability of generating the kind of production Simmons does.

I offer you one Eric Young Jr.

He played shortstop in Spring Training 2014 and led the National League in SB in 2013!

Don't say I didn't ever look out for ya.

That reminds me of a guy who had a red-hot ST with us one year and actually broke camp as our starting CF and leadoff hitter, then barely cracked the Mendoza line in AAA the rest of the season. Can't quite recall his name . . .

The Mets need guys that can actually hit though.
