To be a sports fan,the most suck feeling would be you just couldn't do anything to any change of the team.

 

You were asked two questions above. Are you gonna answer them?

92 of 111 saves... who was it that called Ramos a below average closer here the other day? 

 

And caused 1,000's of cardiac arrests. No one comes to the games, cause their DEAD

 

 

Merandy Gonzalez, the only interesting player in this deal, has SIX starts in advanced A ball (36 innings) with a 5.94 K/9. This is the only player we got in the deal for an established reliever with another year of club control.

 

The purpose of trading good relievers is to sell high, not to give them away. 

 

This is a salary dump.

 

i agree...merandy is a 40FV prospect who sits low 90s...pretty shitty return at best

 

 

If this was the best deal then you hold onto him. He's not a rental. Not good value.

 

i agree just hold onto ramos...it's not like they're 191919 games out of the WC

 

 

i find it absolutely insane they could not get a 45FV or 50FV prospect for ramos...salary dump

 

 

mets playoff odds = 8% marlins playoff odds =5% lol wtf is this trade

 

 

For what it's worth, from what I've read, Merandy projects to be more of a reliever than a starter. 

 

So we got a projected reliever and a five tool outfielder who, for whatever reason, has zero tool stats. 

 

 

I think the Mets could trade Ramos on Monday and get a better deal than Mike Hill got today.

 

I agree.

 

 

Mets did it as a 2018 move, not a 2017 move.

 

they did it because they gave up bleh for an actual RP

hey some tool is better than no tool , r u a tool?

 

 

Well ya but they aren't trying to compete in 2017.

 

their playoff odds are hardly higher than ours

 

 

i thought the phelps trade was fine btw...this is pure head scratcher

 

 

Lol they are not in contention for the fucking Wild Card.

 

they're basically the same chance as the muts though is my point...it's a shitty ass return 

 

 

Fuck the Mets

 

 

As others have said, the Mets did not make that deal because they are making a serious run at the playoffs in 2017. There are plenty of reasons the Mets made that deal that have nothing to do with playoff hopes this season.

 

And the Mets don't have a desolate farm system. And they aren't undergoing a sale where the franchise is absurdly overvalued by its fuckjob owner, due in large part to the massive debt he has accumulated.

 

no it's a great move for the muts i agree...i can't believe the marlins got like a 40 FV and 35 FV in return (i can believe it tho)

 

 

Just a money dump as usual with this team.

 

Prolly means Jeff is owner opening day 

 

 

Fuck the Mets

 

Which one? ?

 

 

Just a money dump as usual with this team.

 

We don't need a 9.3 million dollar closer,  we need a 9.3 million dollar starter who can get into the 6th inning and give up at most 3 -4 runs. 

 

 

Name this person.

 

He isn't talking about a specific player. He's talking about a type of player.

 

Stick to the easy fob targets for the name the player meme.

Thanks Squall,

 

Apparently this guy isn't very imaginative.

 

Exactly as you said, a type- not a specific player.

 

9.3MM dollars can go a long way to finding a back of the rotation starter.
