BREAKING: HELSLEY TO METS!!!

[bfib]

Okie Dokie. Hopefully Bloom picked these guys

[Jobu's Rum]

Great. Another infielder. I bet one of the others is a catcher.

If he is a GREAT prospect then I'll take it. For 2-3 months of Hels I'll take that haul.

an infielder and two pitchers

[Hoosier59]

Leave it to Mo! Baez a .240 hitter in A ball, Dohm a starter who only pitches 4 innings a start, maybe. And the other guy is a part time starter who strikes out guys but another A ball player who hasn’t pitched many innings. we’ll be lucky if one of these guys even reaches MLB.

I'm glad they tried to get something. The Mets have quite a BP now - which is key for the playoffs.
Diaz - Closer
Rogers - set up
Helsley - set up
Garrett - good for 2nd year in a row

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Baez was a preseason top 97 prospect, if that's your thing. Dohm looks to be another pitcher with the kind of arm that they targeted in the draft this year.

Further away from the majors than I would have liked, but that's what happens when they didn't trade him last deadline or last offseason, assuming there were offers.

For trading a 30 year old rental? I'll take it. Got some players with upside to follow at the least.

[Strummer Jones]

Not at all knowledgeable on the Mets prospects but if correct is this a fair return for RH?

Or is this just another Texas/Baltimore type of return from two years ago?

Ding ding ding, winner!

[82birds]

Underwhelming return

not really that uncommon for a rental

I am a huge Mo critic but seriously what did you expect to get for two months of uncontrolled Helsley?

[Strummer Jones]

Yet again...why get one GOOD prospect when you could get three maybes?

I hope Mozeliak never finds the cool side of the pillow ever again.

[Jobu's Rum]

AND there is still an option to re-sign Hels if they REALLY wanted to.

But I think it's time to move forward with the young guys

I give this move a B/B-

[Hoosier59]

Other teams are getting a lot more for their players!

Helsley’s performance wasn’t as good as the others. Two month rental setup guy.

[82birds]

from closer to setup guy
less pressure

NY press
more pressure
