Squirmin' for Yermin

how? their roster blows

I personally would move Moncada back to 2B IF we could get Baty. His bat and health don't warrant being cemented at 3B anymore imo

right. I'd be content. I wouldn't love it. 4th OF would be my next addition

Per google, this guy has never had success anywhere. perfect

I'd be content. Got our #5 starter with lots of upside, got an actual outfielder. didn't dump anyone. Got rid of the 1B logjam

Clearly none of us know what they've offered (except maybe a select few). Baty is a reasonable ask is the point

I'd HATE most blue jays trade with Jansen as the main (only). BUT, a Jansen plus Biggio plus duvall plus Alex Reyes (name your 3 million reliever), would be much more beneficial imo than just Hendriks. All theoretical names obviously, but you absolutely could improve the team by dealing him.

awesome!

This is where I am at.

the "cash relief" dumps people made zero sense.

A Baty offer would suck to you?

I think this too

Love me some Volpe

same lol.

why. Danny is out half the year, has really poor history of being a MLB player AND we already have to pay Leury 5 million

Great.. now that Leury trade won’t happen

Liam Hendriks is not a salary dump. You'd get a legit return without having to take any money on

You should absolutely get a really good prospect back in a "salary dump" still for Hendriks. Baty is a reasonable ask for Hendriks alone. Many top closers have gone for far more than a Bret Baty type prospect (1/2 year of chapman for #3 prospect Torres), (Diaz for Kelenic) I'm sure theres more but those 2 are off the top of my head.

One of their top 2 prospects are the only prospects that make any sense in a deal. OR I guess they can target McNeil

you absolutely can re-tool with our expensive bullpen and stay or get more competetive.

sounds like a disaster. So we don't get any good prospects, and trade the best player in the deal, and take on 2 bad contracts that may be worse than the one we gave up?

Eve's Eve. Big family day for us LOL

It allocates a glut of our RPs to a position of need. Sameish money. That's a deal that should get done if nothing does happen with Hendriks.

Mauricio isn't a good prospect in a Hendriks trade.. His star has faded quite a bit

even just a Kelly for Escobar swap makes sense for both clubs. I'll predict Hendriks will be on the Mets by the end of Eve's Eve (23rd). Seems to be some smokey
