Uribe and KJ to NYM

[Garmel]

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

It doesnt seem like a great return here though.

Maybe management sees something in Whalen.

A top 20 prospect from a good system is fine for the return it's better than the return for Aramis.

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.

Are you expecting top 10 for who we traded? Let's not kid ourselves. There's no one who's willing to give a top 10 prospect for what we have left. If you get something out of Gant, consider it a win and move on. I only want CJ gone now for a bag of titanium golf balls.

Maybe the plan is to lose as many games as possible the rest of the way in.

At least it's better than the Heyward trade.

 

[Hudson2]

No big deal really. We'll likely try to bring both back in the offseason and we'll suck more now for a protected pick

Scouting reports: Gant 90-95 heat, plus changeup, solid breaking ball. Whalen 92-93 mph, working on break ball. Strike thrower #Mets #Braves

That should be the plan.

AJ, Jimmy Johns, and CJ for whatever they can got should be next.

Maybin if the return is good, his contract is too team-friendly to give away with a bad contract (CJ)

Yep, this definitely looks better than what Bucs gave for Ramirez.

Mets system is loaded so 18 in their system is like 12 in most others.

 

[Dalyn]

Hopefully this helps the Mets beat the Nationals.

At this pOint it was really the only option

Hate trading in the division, especially to the Mets... and to get such a poor return for an in-division trade just makes it worse.

Yours is a dizzying intellect thethe. But you are spot on. People thinking we'll get top 10 'spects are in for a shock. Now Maybin..JJ..who knows.

Yea, plus KJ and Uribe are two fan favorites I didn't want to see playing for a division rival either. I still would want to bring back both for next year but I doubt Uribe returns now.

I know we disliked Uribe as a Dodger but he quickly won me over here with his bat, glove, humor, and rep in the clubhouse.

 

[Heyward]

Look at what Kazmir went for yesterday, this is about as much as you could get for two role players.

No, I wasn't expecting a great player but I would have preferred something that resembles Major League talent. Maybe Whalen looks better in real life than on paper.

 

[Dalyn]

To the right...the last terrible pitcher we got from the Mets. The one to the left is some asshole who thinks the Mets pitchers are better than Maddux. **** the Mets!

 

[jpx7]

Re-signing Fredi is just more disappointing with each passing day IMO.

Fixed.
