I always hoped for better things for my adoptee. Buena suerte, Rafael. Later

My Canadian Strat friends are chattering that the BA list was: 1. Andres Gimenez, SS 2. Peter Alonso, 1B 3. Ronny Mauricio, SS 4. Jarred Kelenic, OF 5. Justin Dunn, RHP 6. Mark Vientos, 3B 7. Anthony Kay, LHP 8. David Peterson, LHP 9. Shervyen Newton, SS 10. Simeon Woods-Richardson, RHP But it has been reworked to add Kilome at 9 and Szapucki at 10, both of whom were on the BP list and are recovering from arm surgery. So, for now: 1. Andres Gimenez, SS 2. Peter Alonso, 1B 3. Ronny Mauricio, SS 4. Mark Vientos, 3B 5. Anthony Kay, LHP 6. David Peterson, LHP 7. Shervyen Newton, SS 8. Simeon Woods-Richardson, RHP 9. Franklyn Kilome, RHP 10. Thomas Szapucki, LHP Later

Lets all wish A.J. a happy 31st birthday today. Maybe that will help get him here, knowing that we care. Later

Heard on the radio that the medical stuff can't be reviewed by both teams and signed off until Monday, so it could be Tuesday before they get all the paperwork in order. Later

You still have to have a lead in a game before you need a closer. And how many times did we feel frustrated by the Mets offense last year, especially when DeGrom pitched? Now lets see what they can do to address other needs before we assess the impact of Diaz. Later

Wilmer was not loved. He was Beloved. And it is the rare player who elicits that emotion. Later

If BVW wants to show us how smart he is and how creative he can be, sign Travis to a contract where they pay him by the games played. Such contracts, with games played incentive targets, have been done before. But with Travis' injury history, I'd set the first plateau at one game. Keeping him over Wilmer just pisses me off. Later

If this is primarily for the short term, Fangraphs is projecting McNeil and Cano to have the same WAR next year. If he were still included in the deal, it would have boiled down to all those other players for the reliever. Later

Benjamin Grimm wrote: No, that's not the question at all. While Kelenic may end up as a Hall-of-Famer, that's just one of many possible scenarios and probably not the most likely one. He could just as easily turn out to be Alex Escobar. Or Fernando Martinez. Or Shawn Abner. Like you, I don't like this trade. But if I knew that was going to happen, I'd feel a lot better about this. But I feel he's going to go all Amos Otis on us. OE: WAIT! Thor isn't in that trade? I feel a lot better about it. Later

Somebody call the Air Marshall. Later

And how much,if any, of this money will come back to the Wilpons? https://abcnews.go.com/Business/doj-distributes-695-million-madoff-fraud-victims/story?id=59498757 Where's Howard Megdal when we need him? Later

I don't want to do any of the versions of this deal I've read. Keep Noah and spend money. Then, they'll have multiple choices at several positions and can sort them out and keep the best ones. Why weaken yourself just to make a big trade? A fireballing young right-hander for a (probably) washed up infielder from a west coast team? And giving up other young players for others who might not be as good? We've seen that before. The guy we gave up went on to a Hall of Fame career and the infielder we got just got older. This smells of a Nolan Ryan Redux. No thanks. This would be more crash than splash. Later

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: My stream-of-consiousness post got cut off somehow and now I can't re-stream-it or it won't ring true Oh well. At least the Mets are discussing trading the top draft pick for a 36 year old redundant 2Bman and a fucking relief pitcher. I wonder if Omar is involved somehow? It wasn't meant to be a stream of consciousness thread. I meant it to be a one name that suddenly flashes into your mind thread without any thought or association with anything else - randomly. But if that's where you want to take it ... Later

OK. So you're sitting there, minding your own business. Suddenly, the name of an obscure Met from long ago pops into your mind (for no good reason). You know. Those names that make you go "OOOOH". Yesterday, I thought of Bill Hepler. Anybody else have that happen to you? Who was the player? Later

Portsider? I hadn't read that great baseball word in years. Thanks for that, Edgy, and for all the work you put into these. Later -
Mets Willets Point wrote: bmfc1 wrote: He can sit by the pool for a year. Just make sure he switches off the electric security system first. BAM! (or should we say "ZAP!"?) As for the Omar/ Ozzie comparison. Ozzie may not have been as good as Ozzie (nobody has ever been), but he was the best defensive shortstop in the American League while Ozzie performed his magic in the NL. And as long as baseball players have to wear a glove, IMO his superiority over his peers for an extended period of time is what the HOF is all about. Later
