BREAKING: HELSLEY TO METS!!!

[TopofthePerch]

I mean you are getting their number 8 and 14 prospects according to MLB.com along with a lotto ticket. I mean two top ten organization prospects would have been about right and that's about what we got.

So the most tradeable piece returned some A ball maybees
What the point of this
Salary dump??

What kind of return are you expecting and why?

IDK, a top All-star closer….and we get bodies….how about ONE top prospect

Right. Seems like quantity prioritized over quality. The Mets have a number of starting pitching prospects in AA and AAA who would have been better targets.

Baez No 5 in their list of prospects.

It’s all relative….what if Mets prospects suck?

Has any top prospect been dealt this deadline? The Phillies traded for a better, younger player with two more years of control and got the Phillies #6 prospect. I think maybe top 49 prospect or something. We got the Mets #6 prospect who was top 92 before the start of the year.

Sounds about right.

What if whatever top prospect you think we should have gotten sucks?

[Strummer Jones]

Not at all what I was hoping for. Bohm looks ok but he's in A+ ball.

They intentionally targeted lower level players who won’t have to be added to the 40 man roster which is a mess with 3 injured pitchers taking up spots

Yes, because WHAT WILL WE DO WITHOUT MATT KOPERNIAK, LUKEN BAKER, CHRIS ROYCROFT, RODDERY MUNOZ AND MICHAEL SIANI.

What’s the point of this then? Getting low chance of succeeding bodies for an All-star ML closer….
This team doesn’t need bodies…..it needs talent….at whatever level.

[RamFan08NY]

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.

I guess it begs the question,.....who was offering 3 "maybes"?
Ig RH had 2 years of contract control, it ups the ante. He's a 2 month rental for Petes sake. To get a top 10 and a top 15 from a teams farm is pretty good.

Another side note. The Metscare outstanding at both drafting, and developing pitching.

Im fine with the return. My fear was they weren't going to find a taker.

Get. One. GOOD. Prospect. Instead. Of. Three. Maybes.

It CAN'T be that hard. John Mozeliak must have a lottery ticket fetish or something.

The return for a mediocre Jack Flaherty was better than this.

20 year old SS/3B with a 123 RC+ in High A ball. Pretty talented.

22 year old starting pitcher in High A with a 2.62 ERA.

Talent......at whatever level.

The harsh reality is they most likely won’t be very competitive next season with payroll most likely dropping even more

[riff raff]

Great trade by Bloom !!!
Great trade by Mo !!!

[a pot and a kettle]

This deal tell's me Gorman’s future is limited in this org.

[Alex Reyes Cy Young]

Bout time, time for Nado, Donnie, Matz, Maton and Noot

Nado will remain a Cardinal.
