Let's huddle here and talk... Syndergaard

[smg58]

Yankees: Go fuck themselves.

We don't really need a presser to announce that one, do we?

Actually, I'm not in principle opposed to talking to the Yankees. I'm curious to know what the price is on Sonny Gray, for example. But I'm really starting to get nervous when I hear a trade rumor that involves something complicated.

Seriously. I'd make that deal in a heartbeat.

Actual text I received this morning. #Priorities

I think that tends to happen anyway during childbirth.

Really, this.

Same here

If Thor goes to Yanks BVG can #$^%$

[Mex17]

I'm totally confused.

Is this Syndergaard to the Yankees, Realmuto to the Mets, and Andujar to the Marlins? Or is it Syndergaard to the Yankees, Realmuto plus Andujar to the Mets, and something else entirely from the Yankees to the Marlins? I am hearing both things simultaneously.

The difference between "Realmuto only" compared to "Realmuto and Andujar" is vast.

[HahnSolo]

I would think if it’s Realmuto and Andujar coming to Queens we’d be giving something back to Miami as well. Nimmo would be my guess

Adding a piece as significant as Nimmo is not the "no doubt slam dunk" that we were promised as the only way BVW would even consider moving Syndergaard. Nor does it fit with his "I will not create a hole in order to fill one" credo.

What if it's Realmuto and Clint Frazier though?

[HahnSolo]

I’m not advocating including Nimmo but the Marlins are going to need something if we get Andujar and Thor moves across town.

Can we trust Frazier to stay healthy?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'm in pretty strong denial here. this is all pretty stupid

[Centerfield]

I go back and forth. Sometimes I’m convinced Brodie just wants us to appreciate what we have already.

Other times I’m convinced he’s a moron and will trade him.

Either way he’s a dickhead.

[Lefty Specialist]

If any deal in any way sends Syndergaard to the Yankees, BVW is dead to me. I don't care what's coming back.

[Guest Mets Willets Point]

Just checking in to make sure Syndergaard is still a Met.

[Benjamin Grimm]

He is. It seems like the Realmuto/Syndergaard deal is cooling off. Hopefully that's true, and that it stays cold.

[smg58]

I don't want to speculate on BVW's motivations, beyond making headlines in the offseason and putting his stamp on the team as quickly and as deeply as possible. While I can respect that he's willing to get creative to make something happen, I'm not so sure he appreciates that "creative" doesn't always equate to "smart." But we'll see how this pans out.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Both covers make my eyes hurt, but I certainly agree with the sentiment expressed in the Post here over what the Daily News is saying.

[Mex17]

Morton came off the board today (gone to Tampa). Happ is close to coming off the board. Corbin and Eovaldi are gone.

Even if the perfect Syndergaard package came along, the window was two or three weeks ago. It's passed. You probably can't get in on the starting pitcher market now this late in the game.

On edit: And now Lance Lynn to Texas.

[Centerfield]

Meanwhile, Jason Vargas remains our 5 starter with absolutely no depth behind him. Our top pitching prospect is in Seattle.

Basically we have to hope that szapucki kid heals from TJ.

Shit. We even released Montero.

[Edgy MD]

Well, ahead of Szapucki is (according to most rankings) Kilome, Peterson, and Kay, although the first is out for the year.

[Lefty Specialist]

Well, #6 is Seth Lugo, and #7 is Robert Gsellman. So there's some depth, but not really any help from the minors.

[Benjamin Grimm]

It's still three and a half months until Opening Day. The roster surely isn't set yet.

Corey Oswalt?
