Yeah I expect this as well unless someone is truly desperate (like BOS was). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year he played the second most games of his career in 4 full seasons and it was 100 games.

Unless he is operating under the expectation that Robert will be gone. I wouldn't do it... But Getz has shown he would under certain circumstances imo. He said those guys are his RF platoon. Neither are really CF types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major injury most years, but still incredibly productive on a per game basis. He was just plain bad last year along with being injured. Unless you think the 2024 version is here to stay, trading him for two post hype guys who are likely to amount to nothing is the definition of insanity. Just hold into the season if that’s the best you can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s 22 years old and struggled a bit hitting in AAA and then performed well in a limited time in MLB. Plays good defense, very good speed, versatile defender.

Tnetennba Posted Thursday at 01:01 AM Share Posted Thursday at 01:01 AM Baty is already 25 and has put up a -0.7 WAR and an OPS+ of 70 in 544 AB's across parts of three seasons. He's bordering on bust territory. Acuña had a nice showing in a very small sample size in the bigs, but that's not enough to overlook a bad 2024 at AAA. I wouldn't be horribly opposed to either as secondary pieces, but neither of these guys should headline a Robert trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only position player prospect on the Mets I’d take ahead of him is Jett. I think you’re underselling him and very likely overvaluing Robert as well.

striker Posted Thursday at 02:48 AM Share Posted Thursday at 02:48 AM 8 hours ago, Chicago White Sox said: So let me get this straight, we should ignore Robert’s track record and assume he’s the 2024 version moving forward, while we should ignore Acuna’s terrible 2024 season and Baty’s failures in the majors and assume they will be meaningful pieces? Admit all of their risks but split your stock to reduce your risk. Do you play the $1 slot once or the .50 cent twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even tho alot of people think Baty will eventually be a pretty good hitter, his profile isn't what Getz wants, for better or for worse. Right now Getz wants up the middle SS and CF types with good gloves and good to decent speed on the basepaths. So I think he is gonna want Williams as the top piece and Acuna as the second. If he has to sell relatively low on Robert, then he's gonna try to get two pieces that NYM will also need to sell low on and hope he's filled two big holes with bounceback seasons from them.

I wouldn’t touch Baty with a ten foot pole but I think you nailed it. If Robert can net us either a top SS or CF prospect, you do the deal. If he can somehow net both a SS and CF prospect, you accept the deal yesterday and nut in your pants.

So you focus on Acuna’s minor league season in 2024 but ignore his 2023 minor league season as well as his 2024 performance in mlb at age 22 and then focus on Robert’s 2023 season but ignore his 2024 season as well as his injury history across his entire career? Got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fielder Jones Posted Thursday at 11:25 AM Share Posted Thursday at 11:25 AM L. Acuna hasnt hit great in the minors. He's not posthype he's more like a never-was. great athlete who chases. Baty is tempting as all heck though. Destroyed the minors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays good defense and is very fast so he’ll provide lots of value on defense and baserunning. If he’s a 90 wRC+ type hitter in MLB he’s likely a 3-4 WAR player like Andres Gimenez the past two seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the pitching is not great. Why is that a counterpoint? Sosa’s biggest issue over his career hasn’t been his hitting. He’s hit at every level and is now adjusting to mlb too. Sosa carried a .964 OPS in MLB in September so he was clearly swinging a hot bat to end the season. Also, Sosa is two years older than Acuna.

Quin Posted Thursday at 01:46 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:46 PM I know I'm skewed because I loved Gilbert in the draft, but if the Mets offered Gilbert and you could get Baty+Acuna for lower than what they'd cost a few years ago, I could get behind that deal. Both teams would be betting on rebounds while the Sox get a top prospect that still has shine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
