Random article posits that the Mets could beat the Reds' offer of injured pitchers with RHP Jack Wenninger (Mets #13, MLB), OF Nick Morabito (Mets #16, MLB) and picking up all the Robert cash. How NY Mets can outbid Reds for Luis Robert Jr. after latest trade swerve - MLB

That's probably a fair comp.

It looks like Getz would like to not start May in a 7-23 hole, again. In which case, I would imagine Kepler/Hays/Tauchman would work as a RF placeholder until B. Monty plays his way onto the parent club.

Just pulling stuff off of Twitter: Mets free agency and trade buzz: Diamondbacks likely won't deal Ketel Marte unless they receive young pitching

There was an earlier offer, the Sox wanted another player:

There's finally enough interesting players to argue about who should be in the lineup.

Loves, as a Christian loves his fellow man.

Jeez, is it so hard for somebody to pretend to be an MLB insider and post knowing "rumors"?

The company line changed over time. Getz started out down-playing expectations but then started moving towards saying they would add through free agency, and they would be aggressive in their pursuits. Not talking $150M, but definitely more than $60M.

Yeah, O'Hearn was a much reported target and that was when he probably looked like 2/$20M. Then a starting pitcher, then a high-leverage arm. This has all been leaked/reported.

And maybe Overstock.com sponsers the "O" on O'Hearn's jersey for $10M, or so.

Now the Pirates have more cost-certainty at 1B. I wonder which of O'Hearn/Horwitz moves off of 1B to LF or 2B, respectively.

Yeah, I don't know if it's conditioning or whatnot, but I think Getz just wants to move on from that era, which is fine.

Maybe the O'Hearn signing makes the Reds a bit more eager to get Robert done.

Or with International pumping 2-3 guys into the system, annually.

Yeah, they're most likely pretty close on parameters and people. If it doesn't blow up, it's days away.
