Well if it's for salary relief why the heck is McCann being included in these discussions? That eliminates the salary relief right there.

Ugh please tell me it's not just a pure salary dump? I thought JR OK'd 10D signing without a corresponding salary dump, wtf? If they need salary relief send off Kelly or someone not as valuable. LH should fetch a real return that meaningfully addresses needs. This organization is such garbage.

McNeil and McCann for LH makes sense. NYM need to throw in a little bit of cash for JM 2024 salary.

It seems they might be able to do better than that just for Kelly at this point.

It sucks because the deal involves trading LH in a transaction involving Baty but the Sox aren't ending up with Baty.

Jimmy said if he is traded the return would be really good. This isn't really good

It's true he has no power but unlike NM he has very good defense and gets OBP a ton vs RHP. He had 118 WRC+ vs RHP last year even without power. He could be the LH platoon 2B vs RHP and against LHP we could play Romy/Sosa. He's worth about 5m in surplus value so we can probably get him for ReyLo and just keep LH if no one is making a blowout offer.

Colas is the savage middle of the order LH bat. It might take a few months to adjust but he should be the 4 or 5 hitter relatively soon. I dont think anyone they get in a trade at 2B is gonna be a 3,4,5 hitter. Neither McNeil nor Guillorme fits that profile.

If 10D can hit about 17 HRs (very possible at GRF) with OBP of .350+ and above avg D that will be enough for me.

Id rather have Guillorme for ReyLo straight up if NYM would go for that than signing Segura. The value is about equal.

What do they have that we would want?

He didn't win us jack s%*#. The division was garbage and the team was loaded. They should have been better than a 93 win team that got throttled in its only playoff series.

This. Savagery shouldn't be messed with.

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.
