Squirmin' for Yermin

I'd be content. Got our #5 starter with lots of upside, got an actual outfielder. didn't dump anyone. Got rid of the 1B logjam

Clearly none of us know what they've offered (except maybe a select few). Baty is a reasonable ask is the point

I'd HATE most blue jays trade with Jansen as the main (only). BUT, a Jansen plus Biggio plus duvall plus Alex Reyes (name your 3 million reliever), would be much more beneficial imo than just Hendriks. All theoretical names obviously, but you absolutely could improve the team by dealing him.

awesome!

This is where I am at.

the "cash relief" dumps people made zero sense.

A Baty offer would suck to you?

I think this too

Love me some Volpe

same lol.

why. Danny is out half the year, has really poor history of being a MLB player AND we already have to pay Leury 5 million

Great.. now that Leury trade won’t happen

Liam Hendriks is not a salary dump. You'd get a legit return without having to take any money on

You should absolutely get a really good prospect back in a "salary dump" still for Hendriks. Baty is a reasonable ask for Hendriks alone. Many top closers have gone for far more than a Bret Baty type prospect (1/2 year of chapman for #3 prospect Torres), (Diaz for Kelenic) I'm sure theres more but those 2 are off the top of my head.

One of their top 2 prospects are the only prospects that make any sense in a deal. OR I guess they can target McNeil

you absolutely can re-tool with our expensive bullpen and stay or get more competetive.

sounds like a disaster. So we don't get any good prospects, and trade the best player in the deal, and take on 2 bad contracts that may be worse than the one we gave up?

Eve's Eve. Big family day for us LOL

It allocates a glut of our RPs to a position of need. Sameish money. That's a deal that should get done if nothing does happen with Hendriks.

Mauricio isn't a good prospect in a Hendriks trade.. His star has faded quite a bit

even just a Kelly for Escobar swap makes sense for both clubs. I'll predict Hendriks will be on the Mets by the end of Eve's Eve (23rd). Seems to be some smokey

How many teams have good 7-9 hitters? Probably not many.

slightly? Slighly in every category makes him quite a bit better

he's another Madrigal level power guy. eassssy pass

If w knew he was toast... Why wouldn't we have just signed Vazquez, or Zunino, or Hedges, etc
