July 29, 20196 yr 3 minutes ago, DirtySox said: The return felt light. I'm okay with it from the Mets side. Depending on what else they do I suppose. 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.
July 29, 20196 yr The Mets are simultaneously buying and selling. BVW is a fucking moron and that entire FO is awful. Things could be worse Sox fans.

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. Edited July 29, 20196 yr by soxfan2014
July 29, 20196 yr Supposedly the Mets are close to dealing Jason Vargas as well., Edited July 29, 20196 yr by EvilJester99
July 29, 20196 yr 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...

July 29, 20196 yr 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.
July 29, 20196 yr I guess they didn’t cover all of Vargas $. Mets saving about $2M, so that makes a little more sense.

July 31, 20196 yr 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.
