whitesoxjr27 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 The New York Mets are going to need to replenish the offense they’re going to lose when Yoenis Cespedes and Daniel Murphy sign elsewhere. There are internal options for Murphy with Wilmer Flores and Dilson Herrera capable of replacing the 1.7 Wins Above Replacement that Murphy averaged over the last four seasons. Replacing Cespedes is going to be a tougher chore. There aren’t many players who can impact a game like he can when he’s going well. His ability to “homer on demand” rivaled that of Darryl Strawberry and Mike Piazza. Trying to sign a player of that caliber is going to cost a lot (so it’s not as easy as saying “go get Justin Upton”). The Mets front office is going to have to be creative in its pursuit. And it’s probably going to take a trade. http://espn.go.com/blog/newyork/mets/post/...od-fit-for-mets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 If I were the Mets between Harvey's injury history and his being a Boras client, I'd do a deal like this in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 09:32 AM) If I were the Mets between Harvey's injury history and his being a Boras client, I'd do a deal like this in a heartbeat. And Wheeler coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpd9189 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 If I'm the Mets, I hold on to Harvey for one more year. Their rotation is going to be sick year - deGrom, Harvey, Syndergarrd, Matz and Wheeler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
