Now, you have these as your high leverage options:TaylorNewcombBrazobanHicksHudsonAnd some combination of these as more of your middle relief and/or mop-up types:MurphyRichardsFeddeSchweitzerOne of these has to go (probably Schweitzer for now), but you'd think McDougal and/or H. Smith will also be up at some point in August. It could make sense to try and flip MurphyWho's the next most expensive RP on the Sox ? Hicks

3 hours ago3 hr Good move. Gabe Davis may become something under the Mets very good pitching development program. He didn’t seem to be improving with the Sox. Franklin was buried despite good stuff.
3 hours ago3 hr Huascar is fine. Coming into the year, he's more consistent than Dominguez and they do it different but they aren't/weren't all that different from an outcomes perspective over the duration of their career.I just hate giving up more assets for the bullpen (for a 6-7 inning guy). We've spent such a high % of our assets on the bullpen in the Getz era.
2 hours ago2 hr God I saw this at 3AM and couldnt sleep...them changing the deadline to Monday is horrible.

2 hours ago2 hr I follow the Mets as they are my local NYC team. This is a really good trade. And it means we can start using Taylor as our closer. We've flipped Dominguez and replaced him with someone we can actually use in high leverage situations.
2 hours ago2 hr Despite his age, he makes nothing, and isn't a FA for a while. Probably will blow up eventually, but is having a hot year.
2 hours ago2 hr I’m a big Gabe Davis fan, but I do really like this move. In this market, it feels like you’re only paying for one extra year of control with the second & third being more or less house money given his age. Brazoban’s heavy groundball rate is a perfect fit for both our ballpark and our strong infield defense. Getting another high confidence RHP is also a major plus.Taylor, Hicks, Brazobán, Newcomb, Hudson, & Murphy is a really good core of relievers. Richards has been solid as a long reliever and Fedde (despite being negative fWAR) has performed well over the past two months. Do they want to keep two long guys down the stretch? How do Hagen & McDougal factor into the mix? The Sox have basically confirmed they are part of the Major league plan, but right the major league bullpen is completely full with no obvious cuts.I agree with @Jose Abreu that maybe we see Getz sell one of the lefties to free up at least one spot for the young guys.
1 hour ago1 hr Seems like this will strengthen the back end of the bullpen. This guy is essentially the replacement for Dominguez, at a fraction of the cost. I would think Taylor becomes the closer.
1 hour ago1 hr If anything, I think he'll be better with us as the Mets defense is comically inept at times.
1 hour ago1 hr Pitching is getting crowded. Especially if Schultz, H Smith, and McDougal end in the pen

36 minutes ago36 min Creative. Interesting, and not that worried about what we gave up. Davis is the only one with a shot, but he is the pitching version of Wolkow.
