I think it does a couple things for cheap 1. You just made teams who may be looking into Thor more desperate, by taking out the second best option, and you could probably get back 75-80% of what you gave up for Stroman in the offseason. 2. You could do a lot worse than going into 2020 with DeGrom, Syndergaard, Stroman, Alonso, Nimmo, Conforto, McNeil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackDoorBreach Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 The Mets are simultaneously buying and selling. BVW is a fucking moron and that entire FO is awful. Things could be worse Sox fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could do a lot worse than going into 2020 with DeGrom, Syndergaard, Stroman, Alonso, Nimmo, Conforto, McNeil. I was thinking about that too. If they think they can compete next year, you're subbing out Stroman for Syndergaard which is a downgrade (granted this year Stroman is better and it sure does seem like Syndergaard misses time every year) but you probably get better prospects back than what you gave up for Stroman so you are improving your farm. And they could always sell off pieces next year if they want. But in my opinion, they should tear it down.

EvilJester99 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) Supposedly the Mets are close to dealing Jason Vargas as well., Edited July 29, 2019 by EvilJester99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanSoxFan Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 They received a 26 year old catcher who is having a brutal season in AA. I guess it was just a salary dump for the Mets but still... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moan4Yoan Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Nova isn’t worth much but give me a young A ball pitching prospect flier over a 26 year old catcher who can’t hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I guess they didn’t cover all of Vargas $. Mets saving about $2M, so that makes a little more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Anyone still want to laugh at the Mets though after 5 players for Bauer just set the price for starting pitching? Blue Jays are the real losers in all this. Stroman should return more than what they gave up. Just depends on will that will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
