The rumors before the lockout were that they wanted to ship the extra parts (think Jeff McNeil, JD Davis, Dom Smith) for pitching.
I still think the Mets line up well with the Brewers in a deal considering they could use some offense.
Yeah, I would be more upset hearing this after all the good free agents have signed with teams and we end up with platoon type players at 2B and RF and a cheap 6th starter.
You're right. This team doesn't have any holes besides the glaring one at 2B, the giant one in RF, another reliever, and possibly another SP. Other than that, yeah no holes.
I mean, we did hear during the first part of the off-season about how they misread the market on someone they wanted. Pretty good chance they misread the market on a lot of guys who have signed and possibly still out there.
