Kinda makes me wonder why they couldn't come to a deal at the beginning of August with the Mets eating some money but I guess Robert had just come off the IL not too long before that so I guess it makes sense they didn't. Obviously, not saying give up something for him but like cash considerations so the Mets could at least dump some money.

I don't disagree but they made the move for a reason. Not saying what I would do (hell, I wouldn't have traded for him lol) but what I think they will do.

Yeah I think Pham will DH against lefties (not sure how his defense is anymore at this age) and Grichuk gives Antonacci or Montgomery a day off

Same

It's because he was on a minor league deal but was never called up by them. I thought they couldn't appear in the majors at any point to qualify to still be traded.

I agree that we should give him as much time but man, do we still need his (potential) bat here

Activate tomorrow and have him start, pushing the guys who remain in the rotation back a day to give more rest. I like it.

He wasn't on waivers here ha just traded for cash.

Good call. Probably what is going to happen.

Don't will that into existence.

We all would have told you to pass whatever it is your drinking/smoking as he's not on the roster. Or it would have been a great joke haha

I understand how this trade was allowed (never played in the MLB this year) but don't understand how the Tommy Pham trade was allowed. Granted, it was cash considerations but still.

Have a feeling this is more in line with my "claim Robert to play against lefties" idea, minus improving the defense. Guessing Grichuk ends up in the OF more against lefties (he already did occasionally anyway). Just don't really love the fit since he's washed.

Yeah, it would be one thing if say, Teel was a RHH catching and you'd DH'd him against lefties with Grichuk in the OF to get another catcher in to keep Teel fresh but he's lefty and struggles against lefties. Don't want to mess with Benintendi much

Yes because they are in the organization

People said they didn’t want Robert back because of the culture ha

What does he really bring to the table at this point. We’ve already got a platoon DH

Tommy Pham is back. Solid 0-13 7ks on the season

Kinda thought that too but don't want Benintendi to take a seat

I haven't seen anything on a timeline but I would think this week for sure.

Rehabbing in Triple-A

I know, that's why I added the second part about waiting until tomorrow. Thorpe was supposed to start yesterday and didn't so I think someone will go down today and he will be activated.

Teel back today? Or do they wait until tomorrow and carry 3 catchers?

He would become the guy that pulls a hammy and never shows up or communicates with the team again

Mahle didn’t really go for anything, Ray as mentioned above
