MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted July 16 Posted July 16 I noticed that the infielder( Mathis) the Mets got in the david Peterson deal is rated just below the top 10 ( 11 or 12) in the Mets system by one publication ( Mets online? ) . It was yesterday and I can’t find the link. later
ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted July 16 Posted July 16 On the prospect list generated by MLB.com Cole Mathis is ranked 14th in the Mets organization It seems like the future direction of Cole Mathis, pitcher or infielder, is yet to be established He had 11 Cape Cod League homers in 38 games before he got drafted He was a 2nd round pick, 54th overall in 2024 I'm surprised the Cubs didn't want to see him out
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted July 16 Posted July 16 2 hours ago, ashie62 said: The MLB talent pool was much smaller then But the ratio between prospects and teams wouldn't have been any different. And, besides, that isn't my point. The point is that if the Mets are going to be dealing away any of their under-performing pieces and/or FAs-to-be then it's not going to land them the 2026 equivalent of Steve Henderson: a 24 y/o dominating AAA but yet to have ML experience on account of being stuck behind two in-their-prime corner OFs [Griff Sr. and MVP to-be G. Foster].
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 17 Posted July 17 Yeah, if they deal Nolan Show more, I'm outta here.
The Hot Corner Old-Timey Member Posted July 17 Posted July 17 I know he might be one of their best trading chips, but I will be very upset if they move Lindor.
Lefty Specialist Old-Timey Member Posted July 19 Posted July 19 Mrs Lefty says, "if they trade Lindor, I'm out". She's not happy about all the rumblings. With the material they have to trade, I don't see how they get anything decent or helpful back. You'd be selling low on virtually everybody.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted July 19 Posted July 19 I doubt Lindor gets dealt. I think the story, broken by SNY's (formerly Newsday's) Chelsea Janes, was the Mets planting a story that everyone shy of the young stars (Ewing, Benge, Scott) are available for talks was a Cohen/Stearns leak to say that if any team out there is willing to be aggressive they the Mets are willing to meet them half way. iow, It doesn't hurt to listen but that doesn't mean they're actively peddling him.
Cowtipper Old-Timey Member Posted July 19 Posted July 19 It didn't look like Sproat would be traded. The hype around McLean-Sproat--Tong was growing into almost Big 5 hype. But then he was just ... gone. So no one is safe with Stearns in charge. I could see them trading McLean. And all of them. Acuna was gonna be the future of the Mets, 'til he was traded. Gilbert the same. Etc etc. Anyway, Athletics traded RHP Aaron Civale to Chicago Cubs for RHP Aiden Moffett. Kansas City Royals traded RF Rudy Martin Jr. to Baltimore Orioles for cash.
Cowtipper Old-Timey Member Posted July 21 Posted July 21 Colorado Rockies traded RHP Seth Halvorsen to Los Angeles Dodgers for RHP Nick Frasso and OF Landyn Vidourek.
Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted July 25 Posted July 25 The Clay Holmes situation is complex. It’s not just “is the prospect we get back better than the comp pick we’d get for the QO”. By offering the QO, the Mets dampen his market, ultimately making it more likely that we resign him. I think the proper question to ask is whether the prospect(s) you get back are worth forfeiting the competitive advantage you get to resign him. Take Michael King for example. I think the Mets potentially sign him last winter to a short term deal if not for the QO. The Hot Corner 1
Cowtipper Old-Timey Member Posted July 25 Posted July 25 San Diego Padres traded RHP Ron Marinaccio to Pittsburgh Pirates for Future Considerations. Houston Astros traded RHP Nate Pearson to Kansas City Royals for RHP Max Martin.
Cowtipper Old-Timey Member Posted July 26 Posted July 26 Boston Red Sox traded LHP Connelly Early to Washington Nationals for 3B Curtis Mead.
Cowtipper Old-Timey Member Posted July 26 Posted July 26 Kansas City Royals traded CF Kameron Misner to Philadelphia Phillies for cash.

Great trade for the Nats. Mead is having a decent year after doing zilch for his 3 previous organizations and Early is a very good controllable arm It could work well for both sidea
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted July 26 Posted July 26 Yeah. I was just trying to shoehorn the words 'Mead' and 'drink' into the post.
Cowtipper Old-Timey Member Posted July 27 Posted July 27 Pittsburgh Pirates traded RHP José Urquidy to Chicago White Sox for RHP Felix Doroteo. St. Louis Cardinals traded RHP Scott Blewett to Athletics for cash. .
smg58 Old-Timey Member Posted July 27 Posted July 27 "Blewett" is an awkward last name for a relief pitcher. Or maybe I'm just sensitive because my first name is Scott.
Cowtipper Old-Timey Member Posted July 28 Posted July 28 It's been a pretty boring trade deadline so far. Baltimore Orioles traded RF Johnathan Rodríguez to Pittsburgh Pirates for cash.
smg58 Old-Timey Member Posted July 28 Posted July 28 Here is a hypothetical. You're the Tigers' GM, and you conclude that selling is your best option. Do you take the best offer on Skubal if it comes from the Dodgers?

Something here about the best laid plans of hominids and rodents, etc.

MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted July 29 Posted July 29 Monday, Monday, so good to me Monday mornin', it was all I hoped it would be Oh Monday mornin', Monday mornin' couldn't guarantee That Monday evenin' you would still be here with me Monday, Monday, can't trust that day Monday, Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way Oh Monday mornin' you gave me no warnin' of what was to be Oh Monday, Monday, how could you leave and not take me Later
Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted July 29 Posted July 29 11 minutes ago, Frayed Knot said: That the deadline is still five days away. I wonder if the fact that there are fewer sellers will cause these deals to happen right before the deadline. A seller can just hold and wait for a higher offer. With more sellers, a buyer can say "if you don't do this now, I'm going to get my LHRP elsewhere". But if there's no elsewhere, there's no downside to holding. smg58 and MFS62 2
smg58 Old-Timey Member Posted July 29 Posted July 29 Right. Unless you have a reason think nobody will make a better offer between now and the deadline-- and we're not that close yet -- you sit.
