MOAR left handed savages! MOAR!!!!!!!

Yeah you stick him in AAA to start and see if he lights a fire under YM to really perform. If he does, having two savage 3B is a good problem to have and you can use one as a trade chip. If not, move YM to 2nd and if he doesn't like it, that's too damn bad.

Agreed. No way you trade Hendriks to NYM without getting Baty back. Hendricks for Baty and McCann.

Yep....grab that young left handed savage asap

Yep. I think it was that Mayer dude (NYM writer) that was talking about it.

That's terrible value.

The thing is the Mets own writers mentioned they were hearing stuff so it's not like we are just putting it out there. It's coming from their own media side.

Bring forth the savage Brett Baty

Very unlikely for LH. We'd have to throw in ALOT more.

Jack Parkman needs to be impressed with the trade. Baty and McCann for Hendriks is still short about 5m in value that we would need to send to NYM. Maybe a prospect or something.

Yeah if there is alot of interest then they should do much better with the NYM than just a salary swap with McCann and EE. There should be a significant return. I doubt it's Baty tho.

Lol none of us would do that and give up 18m and neither will he.

Get Guillorme from NYM.

Getting a solid platoon LH 2B is a bigger priority than 4th OF, IMO.

I think we would have to throw in Kelly in order for them to get something out of it

Yeah I would definitely do that deal as well if money was equal. Also gives them a bit more time to find a long term catcher.

They still need a vet platoon LH 2B. A bunch of all RH kids at 2B= no bueno

I'll take McCann if it's basically an equal money swap, particularly since Harold etc are now saying we're keeping Hendriks which means it's unlikely they can get their hands on Jansen. Send Leury to NYM and they can send back McCann plus the difference in salary. Ofcourse that doesn't solve the issue of Grandal's 18m dead space.

Colas bro

They can get back a haul of MLB ready prospects and/or cost controlled players.

Ok start fielding calls on TA now. Get a ransom, Rick

So the TA market should start going now right?

So market is robust enough for Kelly? Or is Gio or TA going? They need to get exchange an expiring asset for some controllable pieces.

Almost certainly the former. He's their best power bat and should now be healthier. They really need 30+ HRs from him this year.

Merrifield is RHH Do not want
