There seems to be some inertia in John Flaherty going to the skanks

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Buster Olney and Jeff Passen said the Mets were a possibility for Blake Snell. The part that scares other teams is that he has a $30 million option for next season, and the two thought the Mets were one of just a few teams that could absorb that, plus build a rotation for next year.

[Frayed Knot]

Has Tommy Pham been dealt at every trade deadline in the last decade or does it just seem that way?

[Gwreck]

Half of that $30M is deferred to 2027 if Snell exercises the option. Doesn't seem like a big impediment.

Our old friend Amhad Rosario headed back to the Dodgers.

I forgot he had ever played for them.

I'm getting the feeling the Mets are finished, ughh

Luisangel Acuna had 399 at bats hitting .261 with an ops of .666. He does have 30 stolen bases though

He probably didn't wanna be here in 2022, either. 2021, too.

Deadline trades are rarely enough to satisfy the fans of buyers, and when they are satisfying in the short term, it's often because the acquisition has a big name, but remorse kicks in soon enough.



As deGrom hasn't yet appeared in 2024, and as his last injury update is "close to facing live hitters" (he's really dominated dead hitters, and looked pretty good against undead hitters too), I'm guessing he's not going to happen, and probably can't even be traded under the current rules.

I'm just asking for an SP at this point



The bullpen help is welcome



I'm having a hard time believing Jesse Winker was the best they could do in acquiring a left handed bat



I understand Gilbert Acuna and Clifford are having lost seasons and would not be moved anyway but..Kevin Parada and Alex Ramirez should have some value with their performances at Binghamton



Beyond that Javy Baez was a big name and how do that work out?



There are still a few hours to go



deGrom is so not happening. Get a grip

[Benjamin Grimm]

I suspect that Chris Bassitt is more likely to return than Scherzer or deGrom.

Has full no-trade rights. If he didn't want to be here in 2023 he probably doesn't want to be here in 2024.

He'll want to be here the same reason he wanted to be in Texas. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I think some of the deGrom thing is gone over here, I

didn't re-read it today but recall reading it....

Flaherty is a free agent at the end of the year, without a giant salary this year. I imagine every buying team in the league would like him.

[Bob Alpacadaca]

SNY says Mets are trading left-handed reliever Josh Walker to the Pittsburgh Pirates, per multiple reports. Not sure who we are getting back. Walker was designated for assignment last week in order for the Mets to create room on the 40-man roster following the acquisition of Ryne Stanek, so it's likely not much, if anything beyond some Cranebucks..

Approaching the four hour mark, it feels like everyone is getting

something good and the Mets are getting bumbling bupkis.

I remember that article from when it was first published. It doesn't answer any of the questions I raised in my previous post in this thread. And I don't believe a single word of anything deGrom says in that article. None of it makes any sense. It's disingenuous. I figure that deGrom's smart enough to know what he should say publicly to appear as diplomatic as possible. And if he didn't know what to say, then he was coached by his handlers and advisors.



I'm not knocking deGrom personally. He was a good guy here and never made any trouble as far as I can see. And he had the right to choose to play for Texas if that was his preference.
