First off, congrats to DeGrom! Now sign him to a legit extension. I also think they should bring Daniel Murphy back. LGM!!!

It's the Mets, why would you be shocked. Cursed organization bro, my condolences to you.

This Cano trade, I can't figure out if I like it. Cano can hit and one of the best young closers in baseball, while unloading Bruce. Emptying the minimal prospect cupboard though and McNeil sure seemed like a hell of a player. Also it still isn't official.

Diaz is needed, and welcome. Losing Bruce doesn't bother me, but we are giving up some decent young prospects.

Plus Cano is known as lazy, not sure if that is great for Rosario either.

It would be a shame to lose McNeil.....Cano is decent....but maybe him and cespedes will motivate each other to actually earn their contracts.

This would be an awful deal for the Mets. Anyone taking Cano should get a lot along with it. He's a dump and the Mets are acting like they're getting something valuable.
Of course his agent connection is probably a coincidence, lol

Of course his agent connection is probably a coincidence, lol Seems like a typical Mets move - get a great player when he is close to or past his prime. Hopefully the closer will be good - but you can never tell with BP players year to year. Also not totally clear on the Cano $$$. How much did we get from them to cover his salary?

I think it is close to a wash for 2 years with unloading Bruce .

Man, the entire second paragraph of that blurb was completely wrong, lol Headline: Mets have discussed trading Noah Syndergaard to Yankees And one of Rosenthals tweets states "Not known if Syndergaard involved." So are they talking about trading him or not? Who knows but its good clickbait I guess..

I would rather stab my eyes out than see Thor in pinstripes. They are not moving him for peanuts The FO made it clear it would have to substantial for them to make a deal on Francesca on the 5th of December. I got the impression from the three of them . They do not want to deal him IMO: No way they move him for Andujar. Maybe Torres and Andujar . Maybe for Arron Judge. The same stuff was going on with DeGrom before the dead line.

Torres is untouchable, and it’s well known the Yankees like Andujar, and Judge is the face of the Yankees. Only pitcher the Yankees would give up the farm for is Madison Bumgarner. Want the Yankees to be part of the 3 team trade? (you need them to get Realmuto) have to lower the asking price.

Last week it was Nimmo and a few prospects for him . So why would the Mets give this to the Yankees for almost nothing?

As for the Yankees, you aren’t getting any of the players that I mentioned earlier. What do you think realistically could work? I have confidence in Cashman, he’s been doing this for a long time, your GM has been doing it for 5 minutes.

If you listen to the interview with Wilpon Calloway and BVW with Francesca, they want him as part of the team going forward and if they get that wow deal ok. Other then that he is a Met

Trading Thor would be bad enough, trading him to the Yanks would cause a full out revolt. I don't know if this can get done without including Rosario and they absolutely should not do that. Rosario and Conforto need to be untouchable in any trade. Beyond that, so be it if Realmuto can be a Met.

Jeurys Familia is returning to the Mets for $30 million. LAS VEGAS — The Mets are turning toward a Familia face for bullpen help. Jeurys Familia, who was dealt by the Mets at last season’s trade deadline, reached an agreement for a return to the team, pending a physical, an industry source confirmed early Thursday. It’s a three-year deal worth $30 million for the right-hander, who would be expected to serve in a setup role for new closer Edwin Diaz. nypost.com/2018/12/13/he-back-jeurys-familia-is-returning-to-the-mets/

If the mets could have gotten Realmuto and Andujar for Syndergaard and maybe a throw in, I'd do that deal because I believe it would serve the best long term interests of the team. If it's just Realmuto, that's a non starter. Why would a team that is many players away mortgage their future for an Olivier Vernon?

That said he still overpaid Jeter for years and is now paying Gardiner significantly more than any other team on the league would ever pay him. Except maybe San Diego, their mascot sucks.

Rosario and Conforto need to be untouchable in any trade. Beyond that, so be it if Realmuto can be a Met. Why? I'd have no issue with him as a Yankee if the trade assured the Mets of getting the long term quality players their roster needs. I don't get the anti-fanism, it's just business. Since it doesn't appear that that was going to be the case, I'm fine with them moving on.

I thought Gardner at $7.5 million for 1 year was not bad, it’s not my money.. Gardner is a good guy to have in the club house, grinder at the plate, and a good out fielder who can play center and left field. As for Jeter, he got paid at the end of his career off his past accomplishments. You know like Eli Manning. Aren’t you guys still paying Bobby Bonilla?

Yeah, I agree on Jeter plus organizationally it was the right thing to do. I don't agree on Gardner, you can probably get that production for half that money. But agreed, it ain't our money. As far as Bonilla is concerned, I sure hope so. He's added so much to the organization. They should make him the GM.

Mets land Wilson Ramos and give up J.T. Realmuto chase. After a highly publicized Marlin-fishing expedition, the Mets put down their poles Sunday and landed themselves a Buffalo instead. J.T. Realmuto won’t be taking his talents from South Florida to Queens. Instead, the Mets have agreed to a two-year, $19 million contract (pending a physical) with veteran catcher Wilson “The Buffalo” Ramos, who tortured them for a long time as a member of the rival Nationals and still is just 31. Multiple sources confirmed the signing, which was first reported by Venezuelan journalist Daniel Alvarez Montes. nypost.com/2018/12/16/mets-land-wilson-ramos-and-give-up-j-t-realmuto-chase/

Very pleased with the Ramos signing. We finally will have a trusted veteran presence behind home plate. Ramos can throw guys out stealing and hopefully he is a great fit our young pitching staff's development. He also adds a solid bat to the lineup.

Great veteran add, a 2018 All Star who cost us a fair contract instead of giving up the farm. Solid move. Marlins wanted Thor straight up for Realmuto. I didn't know Jeter got into smoking crack down there in South Florida.
