Grandyman to the Dodgers

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Sad.

Grandyman and cash for a PTBNL or cash.

Oh fuck it Mets. May as well keep him.

Rene Rivera with him, the twitterverse says. For 3 Ps TBNL.

I'm a big fan of Rivera as a backup catcher. Would be happy to see the Mets bring him back in 2018.

OE- don't believe everything the twitterverse says. But there's still buzz about Rivera being moved as well as Grandy.

Curtis will go down as one of my all-time favorites.

I'll never forget the leadoff homer in Game 5. And so much more. Just a great person.

[Chad ochoseis]

Has there been any other player who ended his Met career with a grand slam?

[smg58]

Always a first-rate guy. He can't complain about where he ended up.

[Frayed Knot]

It's amazing how a market barely exists for all the excess we were holding at the deadline.

[smg58]

There were a number of factors. The Dodgers and the Astros reduced the number of buyers, for one thing. A number of teams (the Yankees especially) also made it clear that they wouldn't give up value for two-month rentals. And nobody was more adversely affected by it than the Mets, whose luck on the season was already pretty crummy.

I thought so also. Then I think it will cost each of the acquiring teams 4 million or so for the rental. I guess thats at least 20 million back to help make up for the money the Mets will lose this year.

But yeah, I was hoping for better.

[Frayed Knot]

Grandy wasted no time getting to his new gig, serving as the DH for the Dodgers in his old haunts of Detroit where he's 0-4
He did wind up at 2nd when his infield pop fell untouched (scored an error) due to wind or sun or incompetence (tough to tell). It came w/2 outs and he scored to break a scoreless tie two hits later.
Many ML'ers, including those a decade or more younger, wouldn't have reached 2nd on a play like that; Cespedes might not have reached 1st.

Dodgers are, of course, winning.

Always liked Granderson and will have fond memories of his time as a Met. He played hard and seemed to be a strong veteran presence on the club. Never seemed to complain and was always smiling. He truly appeared to enjoy playing the game. He was a class act. Good luck to you and thanks for the memories.

The PTBNL is Jacob Rhame, a AAA reliever with a 55/10 K/BB ratio in 48 IP but also 6 HRs and 4.31 ERA. His overall numbers aren't terrible for the PCL. He comes in on the 40 -- I guess he needed to clear waivers first -- so he'll get an audition in September if not sooner.

A lot of background on Rhame: http://www.thinkbluela.com/2015/02/could-jacob-rhame-become-the-dodgers-next-closer/

Say hi to Jacob --

6th round pick in 2013 out of Grayson County College in Denison Texas
according to John Sickels: Good year in Triple-A, 3.73 ERA in 41 innings, 49/8 K/BB, but went on DL July 16th with undisclosed injury.

[Benjamin Grimm]

He's right handed, by the way.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

He looks like drinks cruelty-free local craft beers, doesn't he? Reserve a loft for him in Billyburg.

Yabbut, dude is probably packing some meeeeean home-kombucha-fermentation tips in his figurative Herschel backpack. Has anyone been able to track down his girlfriend's animal-babies-dressed-like-dictators Tumblr yet?

Best Mets cartoon avatar since Ty Wigginton and Chief Wiggum.

And thus, "Incrediboy" Rhame is born.

I thought you were leading toward the Syndrome moniker, but I guess it's your call.


My name's not "Buddy"!!
