Not 100 percent sure though. I believe the formula takes the last two seasons into consideration. Not 100 percent sure though.

He has a full no-trade, but I imagine he'd waive it since he's not happy there. I assume the Mets wouldn't have to pick up any of his posting fee and sadly, $9 million per year isn't that bad for a guy with his potential. He's erratic and drives you crazy, but move him to the pitcher-friendly NL in the pitcher-friendly Citi Field and that's a chance I'd be willing to take if the cost wasn't too high in terms of prospects.

The suggestion that Asian players are not durable is laughable. There’s also some guy named Ichiro who I think has been around for a year or two.

Soler barely threw 88 if I recall, and couldn't rely on his "stuff." Any left-handed SP who is under 27 (I say that because of his age rumors) and throws around 100 mph is not comparable to many pitchers. No comparison.

Besides, I still think they need to re-sign Delgado. I don't care for Wagner much if he can't be traded, but this team would be much better off trading Daniel Murphy and keeping Delgado at first base until Ike Davis is ready. Plus, I'd much rather Davis learn from Delgado than Murphy, whether it be in ST or during the season. It just makes more sense, especially if the guy has a chance to hit 25-30 HR and drive in 100.

Besides, you're talking trading the farm for this guy. NO one player is worth the farm system in this economy.

Wagner and Delgado if they come back and perform will at worst be Type B. Putz certainly will have his option picked up, Mets are not going to just let him walk.
