Here comes the trade deadline!

[MFS62]

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.

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

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].

Yeah, if they deal Nolan Show more, I'm outta here.

[The Hot Corner]

I know he might be one of their best trading chips, but I will be very upset if they move Lindor.

[Lefty Specialist]

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]

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]

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]

Colorado Rockies traded RHP Seth Halvorsen to Los Angeles Dodgers for RHP Nick Frasso and OF Landyn Vidourek.
