I went over to the Mets board to talk about Alexei. I told them that obviously that the Sox hold Alexei more valuable than the Mets so the asking price is going to be high.

 

I told them that the asking price would probably start with Montero and Plawecki, and add a lottery ticket prospect. 2 members responded to me and said no chance they give all that up for Alexei.

 

I even saw a proposal of Alexei and Avisail for Montero and Ceccini....

Lol, riiiiiight! Sox would be getting fleeced. Sounds like some of them enjoy speculating as much as some of us.

 

I really don't see a deal happening. The Mets can upgrade elsewhere if they feel the Sox are asking for too much, which is fine with me since the Sox are not desperate to trade Alexei anyway.

The only outfielder we could give them is Viciedo. I don't think they even have a need for an OF now though with Granderson, Lagares, and Cuddyer from left to right.

I'll take Montero and Mejia.

 

Nope. Thats not enough. Montero profiles as a backend starter, Mejia is a bullpen guy who could have the chance to start sort of what Noesi was coming into last season. It is a very shallow market for SS's and Alexei may be the most valuable SS on the market given his contract. That would be a great deal for the Mets casting off spare parts to fill a whole at a premium position, but would not really help the Sox at all.

Montero is a nice starting point, but I think that's not enough for Alexei. The dude is coming off a career year. I understand the 'selling high' mindset, that is why the Mets would have add one of their top relievers in the deal as well or perhaps their top catching prospect.

 

they need to use 2 players to make it happen.

On Alexei Ramirez, #WhiteSox prefer young SPs like Syndergaard/Wheeler/Montero, while #Mets prefer to deal Niese/Gee/Colon. (1/2)

But that's an early read on the situation. Not saying the gap is unbridgeable.

Also #WhiteSox, like #Mets, in mode of trying to build contender. So while they'd deal Ramirez, it's not like he's burning a hole in pocket.

bingo.

 

Mets seem to have a lot of starting pitching depth

 

Colon

Gee

Niese

Wheeler

Harvey

Syndegaard

Montero

Familia

Mejia

(Though I'm not certain those last two are starters anymore)

edit: looking at their top 10 prospects, there's guys I've never heard of who seem like they can be pretty good.

We don't need to blink so it would have be them. We can hold out as long as possible for thr best offer.

 

We have Alexei under control for the next two years at WAY under market value. We don't even need to deal him. Either they knock our socks off, or they move on.

use a ss of Alexei talent. who wants him more.

Mets have no business even mentioning Niese, Gee, or Colon because that doesn't fit the Sox plan.

 

IMO, it's the Mets that is the team is desperate, not the Sox. Alexei for another 2 years I would love.

Agreed and that's the OF the have the most interest in dealing.

You just wait for the Mets to offer Wheeler straight up and you take it

Bam! That's what I'm talking about.

 

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 11, 2014 -> 11:22 AM)
i am being perfectly honest here. would that be a fair deal?

 

i am very guilty of over valuing the sox players and prospects.

IMO, I take five years of control with a filthy 24 year old right handed starter in Wheeler over Alexei in a heartbeat. I would do cartwheels around the house if Hahn pulled off Wheeler for Ramirez.

Hahn has about as much chance of getting Wheeler for Alexei as he does of sending Jordan Danks to the Angels for Mike Trout.
