The Braves acquired Javier Vazquez, and are preparing a five-year offer for A.J. Burnett > more.
Citi Field looks amazing, according to my video > more.
According to Baseball Prospectus, the Mets and White Sox may be discussing a deal including Jermaine Dye, Bobby Jenks and Fernando Martinez > more.
By the way, MiLB.com ranked Martinez No. 32 among the Top 50 Prospects in baseball > more.
Trevor Hoffman has had talks to meet the Mets > more.
The Mets are likely to host the 2013 All Star Game > more.
The Mets signed Nelson Figueora, Adam Bostick, Andy Green and Rene Rivera to minor-league deals > more.
If the Mets get Jenks, does that mean KRod is out of the picture?
we wont get jenks, all this talk is to get k-rod price down.
agreed
Good point
why would u give up martinez for a rental player thats like trading kazmir for zam…. oh wait sh%t we did that !
tomorrow is matt’s birthday.
what do ya want us to do shannon bake him a freekin cake and whistle happy birthday out of our coolies??
Maybe we should post the magic number.
A cake with the Metsblog logo and a portrait of the Geico Gecko on it would be sufficient.
im sorry shannon i didnt read your entire comment i thought u wrote its matt holidays b- day im very sorry – i respect matt alot
Now that’s funny.
Happy B-Day Matt. We’re all getting older together
havent seen a new confidence poll since 2 weeks ago – i guess s matt is a little leery on polling us right now lol and god knows mistermets needs to be poled lol
hmmmm
I would not be apposed to F-Mart , Castillo, Heilman for Dye, Jenks………….
it would be tough to give up F-Mart but for some reason he seems to be forgotten right now……
I would Imagine Church would be involved here too
They can do alot of things if they make this deal……….move Murphy to 1B and send Delgado in for tons of relief help
I also saw somebody say Baldelli for the OF and I would be cool with that too
it’s going to get interesting next week!, about time!!
I said Baldelli..this way he can platoon w/Murphy and Tatis is a strict PH utility guy…….I think hes a better option cuz he will be cheap compared to the other RH OFs…..and we can still afford Krod and bullpen signings..and still trade 4 Street.
Reyes
Church
Wright
Beltran
Delgado
Baldelli
2 headed monster (C)
Castillo
Tatis/Cancel/Endy/Pagan
Santana
Ollie
Pelf
Maine
Sheets/Penny/??????
Krod
Street
Guardado/Cruz
Sanchez
NoShoe
Smith
Stokes
Not bad..but why dream big..Id rather be surprised if we sign better than this.
oh the mets have PLENTY of money for that lineup!
i love how Ollie is the #2 SP and Sheets is the #5.
Baldelli is a walking medical catastrophe waiting to happen. He can’t be more than a bench player at this point with his condition. He’s lucky to still be a professional athlete
FMart may be forgotten to you, but not to me. He’s obviously not ready, but I also don’t think he’s too far off, late-09 or 10 callup.
Why trade FMart when you can sign FRod? Sure you lose a 1st, but that 1st is not going to be better than FMart. The Jenks/Dye deal makes zero sense as Chicago is looking to scr-ew someone over for Dye.
K-Rod is too old, injury prone, and not good enough to get a 4 year deal…
He’s 26. How old is he supposed to be 16?
when did 26 become too old. He will be 27 in January.
Wow i guess time to move on from Wright and reyes. they will be 26 next season.
sarcasm…
Wasn’t sure… After some of the people on this board’s posts the last few days….
but seriously it makes so much more sense to sign Fuentes. Sure he’s a bit older, and he doesnt strike out as many batters, he was bad in the playoffs and lost his closer job, his ERA is higher, but his whip is .1 points lower, and hes only gonna cost us 3 years instead of 4 and it will save them around 5 mil a year.
so we can’t be like the Yankees who went to playoffs 13 years in a row and sign the best player available b/c we can’t go the extra year and spend an extra 5 million per for a 26 million dollar superstar closer
sarcasm – its whats for dinner :p
In the few times I have seen FM hit he brought to mind a young Don Mattingly. Mattingly started as a line drive hitter with power to the gaps and when he turned 23 the power numbers started to climb.
Dealing for Dye/Jenks is a bad idea. Much better way to go about filling those holes.
well hey if we traded Castillo, Heilman, Show and Marlon Anderson for Jenks and Dye then that would be something.
too bad Bush doesnt run the ChiSox…
as long as we signed Andy Green, I’d say Omar has had a successful off season.
I say we go with what we got
bARTENDER…
say it with me…
MINOR
LEAGUE
DEAL
check please
think about it…the mets refused to give up fmart for santana…they would never give him up for jenks…all this talk (if there really is talk) is to drop krod’s price
I’d rather keep FMart than trade for these two. Dye is solid but why not look at some other options out there. Personally I’d love to see Manny in left for a few years.
agreed btw doc why does it hurt when i pee???
that’s not a good sign son..
You don’t need a Doctor to diagnose that. It’s obvious you were with Plaxico Burris and there were two shots, the first shot got him in the thigh and the second got you in a different spot. :)
you got the Art Shamsky fever and the boogie woogie flu, rusti-j
now i know how joe felt in that frank zappa opus – joes garage btw doc i think i got it from the toilet seat it jumped right up and got my meat lol
Stop peeing on the electricity socket.
i agree…manny in left for 2 or 3 years…then fmart would be ready for the job…remember everyone FMART IS 20!!! that is very young…he cant even legally drink yet…give him some time (that would be funny if the mets clinched something and had all the champaigne and fmart had some)
damn i likede drinking illegally when i was below 20 – lamours in brooklyn – my halcyon days lol
At the bars in Newark in my high school years in the 80s, you really could buy anything if you could reach over the counter with cash….
Dans is filthy…too bad hes not going anywhere
Danks*
so true and i aint giving up the farm for him and dye – rowand and cain maybe but not danks and dye
i think this works and seems likely…
1.trade kunz + carp/other for dye[hight rbi, avg, hr!!! + a winner]
leave jenks out…declining #’s and power…not good
2. trade church + prospect for sonnestine/jackson….not that i want to move church, but it just makes sense
3. trade, as rumored, heilman+ feliciano for street
4. sign OLLIE-gotta keep that crazy guy. he’s got the goods
5.sign Hoffman-servicible + cheap for 1 year
6. trade schneid or castro…sign PUDGE[contact hitter, good avg, winner]
1-reyes, ss
2-beltran, cf
3-wright, 3b
4-delgado, 1b
5-dye, rf
6-murphy/tatis, lf
7-pudge, c
8-castillo, 2b [yes, we are stuck with him]
SP-Santana, Pelf, Ollie, Maine, Sonnestine/jackson
RP-show, smith, sanchez, stokes/figgy, 1FA, 8-street, 9-hoffman
that is my ideal situation, being REASONIBLE…
since u really wouldnt be signing anybody other than ollie…id sign krod or fuentes over hoffman
pudge has been awful since he got off the roids…
Since you are trading Church for a #5SP why don’t we trade Maine for Delmon Young?
cause Delmon Young is a ghetto black guy and they only cause trouble
First, I was being sarcastic. That trade wouldn’t make sense, just like Church for a #5 pitcher, because it makes a hole to fill another.
Second, even if you are criticizing the Mets organization, you should think before you post.
What is wrong with criticizing the Mets organization? They are one of the worst run organizations in pro sports.
i would too…
i think the Mets are going to pinch down a little and only invest in SP vs big money for closers
it strikes me that they have a big target in mind for when delgado comes off the books and if they can move castillo
not sure who though
otherwise, offers should be in both k-rod and fuentes hands
AND…id be throwin blank checks at Manny and TEX
how do you not take all the money and sign Tex????
I don’t think they are going to sign Tex, but is it possible they want to save money and trade for a closer and then sign Manny?
TEIXIERA IS NOT GOING TO THE METS
sorry for the caps but seriously the mets arent giving him 150 mil over 7 years if we could even get him for that, not when we have other major needs like #2 SP and a CP
For all that missed the wonderful Tex discussion earlier, click on my name and I’ve given a few reasons why the Mets should.
Basically, it boils down to it makes sense on so many levels it’s mind-boggling anyone would be against it.
case just like vlad and a-rod tex will never be in a mets uni
Just like Beltran and Santana, Tex will be in a mets uni
Good comeback Case…but I do think the wisdom of the Staub genes is unfortunately correct here.
Ibanez will grow on you; you’ll see….
I’ll make sure to sign up for the MLB package to see Ibanez play in LA.
I’m sure after a while your new man crush will be Rivera; you’ll see…
LOL….maybe Mariano Rivera….but I am more likely to think Geraldo is worth signing for big bucks than Mr. DL denizen part-time player Juan.
And you have a healthy man crush yourself there; don’t sell yourself short….and yes, it is on a better player….
should, yes. will, i personally doubt it
Ok here is my morning jump start.
Discuss
Mets trade: Delgado, Heilman, Fmart
Rays trade: Crawford, Sonnanstine, Bradford.
Good morning TRS…..I would love to have all of them….but maybe is that a bit too much to trade? Reyes/Crawford 1-2 would be amazing, as would having those two arms….actually, now that I think about it that is an interesting deal.
For those not high on Crawford, until this year, his stats were very similar to Jose’s. That would be a LOT of runners on base for 3-4-5 to drive in.
Maybe we could get them to take Evans and another minor leaguer or two in place of FMart….or pay most of Delgado’s salary as an incentive to take less than FMart….but interesting….Crawford is good.
great deal if they can swap out F Mart for a couple of other parts. Maybe Kunz and Evans?
Of course, they need a 1B then. Gee, wonder where we could find one that could become a key part of the core for years to come?
A top 5 of Reyes, Crawford, with Wright, Tex and beltran driving them in? Scary to think of that production.
Then you have guys like CHurch to clean up. And if by some miracle they can shore up 2B and C with some actual offensive talent in the next couple of years, a line up without holes.
That would be great but like I said yesterday, I don’t see F-Mart traded for Jesus himself.
According to MLB Trade Rumors, Derek Lowe has received two offers. One is from the Phillies, and the other is not from the Yankees or Red Sox. Masarotti believes Lowe will land a three or four-year deal at $15-16MM per.
Great, so the Phillies have already made a move for the guy we all want. I’m not sure who the second team is but you can bet that, if it were the Mets, we would have heard whispers already
