Agree there.

Heyman says there are a group of Mets minor leaguers at the hotel in KC at the ready



Ronny Mauricio is not among them

[ashie62]

Pete needs to stop looking like Rob Deer

[A Boy Named Seo]

I know we need some warm bodies in uniforms that read "Mets", but shit, clean out the decks at this point. See ya, Pham. See ya, Raley. See ya, Quintana. See ya, McNeil?



This shit didn't work this year. Erase the board, load up again for next year.

[ashie62]

Ready to go today



Quintana

Carrasco

Pham

McNeil

Vogelbach

Raley

Ottavino

[ashie62]

Steve Cohen must be pissed, largely at himself

[Benjamin Grimm]

I don't understand the argument for trading Quintana.

I don't know. I suppose he could be back for $13M in his age 35 season, but I'm guessing we could acquire another Quintana next year by trade or FA and maybe get something like we got for Canha in the meantime.

I get the Scherzer deal. Verlander, I'm more leery about.



I'll be surprised if Pham and Raley stay. There are also a number of teams in the market for catchers, and Narvaez would be worth more to them than he is to us.

COHEN'S TOMB



Too soon?

[MFS62]

Tick tock.

About 1 1/2 hours to go.

A nail biter.



Later

COHEN'S TOMB



Too soon?

[Cowtipper]

I never thought the season was lost. I don't know why they're dismantling. With two months left, they're just 6 games out of the Wild Card. Have they forgotten 2015? They were a sub-.500 team in late June and were barely above .500 at the start of August, yet they made a few key acquisitions and went to the World Series. Sometimes all it takes is a Kelly Johnson or a Juan Uribe or an Addison Reed (or a Cespedes). Yet here we are, losing all our pieces. I don't get it.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, they may get better from this point onward.

The Orioles are loaded with prospects beyond Jackson Holliday



Colton Cowser

Heston Kjerstad

Connor Norby

Colby Mayo



I would take any one of these for Verlander

[Chad ochoseis]

Nah, I had some Colby Mayo on my roast beef sandwich today.
