With Merkin killing all hope saying he’s confirmed no additional deals (in past years)

Manny… is that you?

Tyler Stephenson and Ace like reclamation project come on down, you’re next!

We’re hoping Brazo can hold his form for the next few years and the Mets are hoping they can get a starter out of Davis with a floor of having a lights out reliever at a similar profile for twice as long. I can dig it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/NewYorkMets/comments/1ve4bjf/brazoban_traded_to_the_white_sox/ Comment at the end about who imagined Mets selling off to White Sox is funny.... Lots of comments about collecting OkState players and Davis' suspect minor league numbers/big arm potential.

White Sox determined to increase their Dominican count, haha. +1 for now with Dominguez gone and Castillo added

Good get to replace Dominguez in the bullpen. Now we can get rid of one of the lefties Leaves us with some great options in the 6th-9th innings

He had one really bad outing against ATL where he gave up a slam. Take out that blip and it's 10 ER total in 52.1 IP, good for a 1.72 ERA. Looks like he's opened a few times too, in case that's ever asked of him here. I like Gabe Davis, but this seems like a solid get. Minimal postseason experience (1 scoreless inning in 2023 with Miami) but he pitched well on a big stage in the WBC:

Considering I don't trust our current pitching development to do anything with Gabe Davis, hard to poke holes in this one.

He'll be collecting Social Security before he becomes a free agent.

Sox really needed a trustworthy righty. And I wouldn't want to put myself in a position in which I might need to get important innings from McDougal

Really like this move.

I wonder if Getz is planning to trade a reliever or two? Now, you have these as your high leverage options: Taylor Newcomb Brazoban Hicks Hudson And some combination of these as more of your middle relief and/or mop-up types: Murphy Richards Fedde Schweitzer One of these has to go (probably Schweitzer for now), but you'd think McDougal and/or H. Smith will also be up at some point in August. It could make sense to try and flip Murphy

Interesting philosophical question as far as whether it matters that the 36 year old has 3 years of team control.

We must have our signs on another catcher or I feel we would have expanded this to include Torrens. Perhaps the same with Holmes. More moves be a comin….

What are the Mets thinking lol

This is actually quite good. He's 36, but under control for 3 more years (debuted at 32). Solid numbers and great underlying data. Soft contact machine with tons of grounders

Boston has some tough LH pitching. Payton Tolle dominated our lineup in the last series. White Sox have to find a way to scratch and claw and score a few runs. Maybe Grichuk, Periera and Vargas can bang a few off the Green Monster.

I always hated that period immediately after the trade deadline expired when the Sox didn't make any significant moves despite several rumors but we're still waiting, hoping against hope that a trade was made just before time expired that will be announced in the next half hour.
