December 5, 20187 yr This Mets trade seems like them tossing a bunch of good players to us in lieu of any great ones or potentially great ones. Quality over quantity please

December 5, 20187 yr I got the point from the beginning, but what to do if nobody willing to match our asking price in the end ? never said it's impossible to happen, so if you're not willing to settle on the lower return then "overpaid" to sign him would be your only choice, right ? No then you just let him walk after 2020. There are 3 options here, not 2. Trade him for the best possible return, sign him to an extension, or do neither and he leaves in 2020. If we can't get the trade return we want that doesn't mean we are forced to keep him past 2020.
December 5, 20187 yr It's fucked up but I'm gonna go ahead and say this... I hope Realmuto gets traded to the Mets and then signs an extension there and then I hope the Mets fall apart and have to rebuild while JT is still there. Agreed this would be stellar. But the dream scenario is JT wins the 2019 NL MVP.
December 5, 20187 yr We offer JT some "are you kidding me" contracts, so he just reply it with a "are you kidding me" asking price in the "Posey money", but I believe it would just return to the normal bargain process now.
December 5, 20187 yr https://www.mlb.com/marlins/news/marlins-keeping-an-open-mind-on-jt-realmuto/c-301433764 "MLB.com has learned that the Marlins have been willing -- as a starting point in talks -- to strike a five- or six-year deal with Realmuto that would -- after covering his remaining two arbitration seasons -- have an average annual value (AAV) during his would-be free-agent years (starting in 2021) of at least $16 million. " Really !?

December 5, 20187 yr Makes zero sense if you're not willing to bring in other FA's that can actually push the team to compete for a playoff spot. They're going to spend money in FA. it just isn't going to be this year. I expect we might start seeing some of it next year. This would create stability for our young pitchers, as well as lock in the best catcher in the game. I'm all for it!
December 5, 20187 yr Makes zero sense if you're not willing to bring in other FA's that can actually push the team to compete for a playoff spot. In the projected payrolls they had a payroll exceeding 100 million in 2020 IIRC and that was a huge number considering how many players would be in arby or auto renewal. It points to multiple FA signings.

December 5, 20187 yr Conforto has 3 years of control, Realmuto has 2 and is a better player. Would be moronic if Conforto is the centerpiece of a deal for JT. Nimmo is worse than Conforto so he's a non-starter.
December 5, 20187 yr I'm over this Mets trade idea. These are all downgrades. They would have to give us a deal where the quantity becomes more quality than just quality if that makes any sense. So basically I dont see any deal that the Mets can do that would work.
December 5, 20187 yr just seen a video on twitter about Ken rosenthal discussing all things realmuto. He added some new info - “marlins also want a major league established player, whom, they’ll have control of”. Under this assumption I believe that leaves the Mets and perhaps the dodgers as favorites

So basically I dont see any deal that the Mets can do that would work. The only way it works is if you flip some people to someone like Cleveland for a starter. Supposedly the Mets were talking with them about a few guys.
December 5, 20187 yr Not in love with the Mets prospects. The best return looks like a Rosario, Alsonso & Woods-Richardson package. Id take it personally, but only after giving the Braves and Astros the chance to increase their offers
